Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 3, 2026 · Last updated: June 3, 2026

ToolsNet.Work ("ToolsNet.Work," "we," "us," or "our") is a company based in Ontario, Canada that builds a collection of privacy-focused tools. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we do and do not collect when you visit toolsnet.work (the "Site").

We build around a simple idea: tools should respect the people who use them. This policy is written to reflect that honestly — including the limited information the Site itself collects to run and to understand how it's used.

1. Scope of this policy

This policy covers the toolsnet.work brand website only.

Each tool in our collection runs on its own website (for example, cleanimages.online) and is governed by its own privacy policy. Where a tool processes your content — such as images — that processing is described on the tool's own site. Several of our tools are designed so your files never leave your browser; check the relevant tool's policy for specifics. When you follow a link from this Site to one of those tools, the tool's privacy policy applies.

2. Information we collect

a) Server and access logs (always collected)

Our Site is hosted on Vercel. Like virtually any website, our hosting provider automatically records standard technical information when your browser requests a page, including your IP address, browser type and version, device and operating system information, referring page, the pages or files you request, and the date and time of the request.

We use this information to operate and secure the Site, deliver content reliably, diagnose technical problems, and prevent abuse. This data is collected regardless of your cookie choices because it is necessary to run the website safely.

b) Analytics (consent-aware)

We use Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics to understand how the Site is used in aggregate — for example, which pages are visited and how visitors move through the Site.

Google Analytics runs in a privacy-preserving consent mode: until you accept analytics through our consent banner, it sets no analytics cookies and collects only limited, aggregated, cookieless signals that do not identify you. Vercel Analytics is cookieless, and we load it only after you accept. When you accept, full analytics measurement (including analytics cookies) is enabled; if you decline, no analytics cookies are ever set. We never enable advertising storage.

These tools may collect information such as pages viewed, interactions, approximate location (derived from IP address), device and browser characteristics, and referral source. We use this information only in aggregate to improve the Site. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time (see Section 3) using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer.

c) Cookies and local storage

We use a small amount of browser storage:

  • Strictly necessary / functional: to record your cookie/consent choice so we don't ask you repeatedly. This is required for the Site to function as you expect and is not used for tracking.
  • Analytics: any cookies or identifiers set by Google Analytics or Vercel Analytics are placed only after you give consent and are removed or disabled if you withdraw it.

d) Information you send us

If you email us at help@toolsnet.work, we collect your email address and any information you choose to include in your message. We use this only to respond to you and to keep a record of the correspondence.

3. What we do not do

  • No accounts. This Site does not require or offer an account.
  • No sale of personal information. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not "share" it for cross-context behavioural advertising as those terms are defined under California law.
  • No advertising networks. We do not serve third-party ads or use advertising trackers.

4. Legal bases for processing (EU/UK visitors)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on the following legal bases under the GDPR / UK GDPR:

  • Legitimate interests — for server and access logs, to operate and secure the Site.
  • Consent — for analytics and any non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.
  • Consent / steps taken at your request — when you contact us, to respond to your message.

5. Service providers and disclosure

We share personal information only with service providers who process it on our behalf, under appropriate contractual safeguards:

  • Vercel Inc. — website hosting and (with consent) analytics.
  • Google LLC — Google Analytics (with consent).

We may also disclose information if required to do so by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of ToolsNet.Work, our users, or the public.

6. International data transfers

Our service providers (including Vercel and Google) are located in or process data in the United States. Where personal information is transferred outside of Canada, the EEA, or the UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and equivalent mechanisms, consistent with applicable law.

7. Data retention

We keep server and access logs only for as long as needed for security and operational purposes, after which they are deleted or anonymized in the ordinary course. Analytics data is retained according to our settings within Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics. Messages you send us are kept for as long as needed to handle your request and maintain reasonable records.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal information.

Canada (PIPEDA): You may request access to the personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct it, and you may withdraw consent to optional processing such as analytics. You may also file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

EEA / UK (GDPR): You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent. You may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

California (CCPA/CPRA): You have the right to know what personal information we collect, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. As noted above, we do not sell or share your personal information. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at help@toolsnet.work. We may need to verify your identity before responding, and we will reply within the timeframes required by applicable law.

9. Children

This Site is not directed to children and is not intended for use by anyone under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited personal information we collect. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to safeguard your information using appropriate measures.

11. Third-party links

The Site links to our own tools (such as cleanimages.online) and may link to other third-party websites and resources. Each of our tools has its own privacy policy, and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites. We encourage you to review the relevant privacy policies.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, provide a more prominent notice. Your continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
