Privacy Policy
At Tool Nest, accessible from toolnest.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by Tool Nest and how we use it.
100% Local File Processing Safeguard
Tool Nest operates strictly client-side. When you compress an image, merge a PDF, convert XML/JSON data, format scripts, or parse EXIF records, all computing tasks are done entirely in your browser window. **We do not upload, copy, store, or transmit your spreadsheet cells, image files, passwords, or document sheets to any web server.**
1. Consent
By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
2. Log Files & Administrative Usage Telemetry
Tool Nest follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks.
When utilizing specific tools, the platform may execute a secure background query to count tool completions (admin diagnostics). This transmits a SHA-256 hashed proxy value of your IP address alongside execution time durations. No file parameters or input records are ever transmitted or saved.
3. Google DoubleClick DART Cookies & Web Beacons
We may display advertisements served by Google on our site. Google is a third-party vendor that uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to toolnest.com and other sites on the internet.
Visitors may choose to decline the use of DART cookies by visiting the Google ad and content network Privacy Policy at the following URL: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
4. Advertising Partners Privacy Policies
Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on Tool Nest, which are sent directly to users' browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.
Note that Tool Nest has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.
5. CCPA & GDPR Privacy Rights (Data Protection)
