Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 2024
Our Commitment to Privacy
At 69Tools, privacy isn't just a feature—it's the foundation of how we build our tools. We believe you shouldn't have to sacrifice your privacy to use online tools.
How Our Tools Work
All our tools process your files locally in your browser. This means:
- Your files are never uploaded to our servers
- We cannot see, access, or store your files
- Your data never leaves your device
- Processing happens entirely on your computer
Data We Collect
Analytics
We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how our tools are used. This includes:
- Page views and tool usage (which tools are popular)
- General geographic region (country level)
- Device type (mobile/desktop) and browser type
- Referral sources
We do not collect:
- Personal identification information
- Your files or their contents
- IP addresses (they are anonymized)
- Tracking cookies for advertising
Local Storage
Some tools may store preferences in your browser's local storage for convenience (like remembering your last used settings). This data:
- Stays entirely on your device
- Is never sent to our servers
- Can be cleared by clearing your browser data
Third-Party Services
We minimize the use of third-party services. Currently, we use:
- CDN services to deliver our website and tool libraries quickly and reliably
- Analytics (privacy-focused) to understand tool usage
We do not use advertising networks, social media trackers, or other invasive third-party services.
Cookies
We use minimal, essential cookies for:
- Basic site functionality
- Remembering your preferences
- Anonymous analytics
We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies.
Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date.

Privacy Summary
Your files never leave your device. We process everything locally in your browser, which means we literally cannot access your data even if we wanted to. This is privacy by design.
