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.

We use the limited data we collect for: - Improving tool performance and user experience - Understanding which tools are most useful to our users - Displaying relevant advertisements to support the free platform - Ensuring the security and stability of our service We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to any third parties.

ToolsRift uses cookies and browser storage in the following limited ways: - Google Analytics Cookies: To understand aggregate traffic patterns. You can opt out via Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. - Google AdSense Cookies: To serve ads. Where you have consented, these may be used to personalize the ads you see. These cookies are governed by Google's advertising policies. - Consent Cookie (_cmp_consent): We set one first-party cookie that remembers your cookie-consent choices (which categories you accepted) so we do not re-prompt you on every visit. It stores only your preference flags and expires after about 6 months. - Theme Preference: We store your dark/light theme preference in your browser's localStorage. This never leaves your device. - Tool Drafts (_draft_*): Some generator tools (such as the invoice and resume builders) save your in-progress drafts to your browser's local storage only, so your work is not lost. These are never transmitted to our servers and are cleared when you clear your browser data. Aside from the consent cookie above, we do not set tracking cookies of our own. For the complete, itemized list of cookies and how to control them, see our Cookie Policy. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time.
