1. Information We Collect
ToolsRift is designed with privacy as a core principle. We collect minimal information to operate the platform:
- Usage Analytics: We may collect anonymized, aggregated data about which tools are used and general traffic patterns via Google Analytics. This data contains no personally identifiable information.
- Ad Data: Our advertising partner Google AdSense may collect cookie-based data to serve relevant ads. This is governed by Google's own privacy policy.
- No Account Data: ToolsRift does not require you to create an account. We do not collect names, email addresses, passwords, or any personal profile information.
- No File Uploads: All file processing (images, PDFs, documents) happens entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers.
