Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Free Media Tools. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our online tools. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.

This platform is operated by Free Media Tools and is designed to provide a secure, private environment for processing media files and documents.

2. Information We Don't Collect

Unlike many online tools, Free Media Tools operates entirely within your web browser. This means:

• No Personal Data Storage: We do not collect, store, or process any personal information, files, or data you enter into the tool.
• No Account Required: The tool doesn't require user accounts, registration, or login credentials for basic usage.
• No Server Upload: All files you upload remain on your device and are never transmitted to our servers.
• No Database Storage: We maintain no database of user files or information.
• No Tracking: We do not track your usage patterns, browsing behavior, or any activities within the tool beyond basic anonymous analytics (see below).

3. How the Tool Works

Free Media Tools is a client-side application, meaning all processing occurs directly in your web browser:

• When you upload files, they're processed locally in your browser
• When you generate exports, the files are created on your device
• No data from your processing is ever sent to any external server

4. Anonymous Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how our tool is being used. This helps us improve the service. The analytics collect:

• Page views and navigation patterns
• General geographic location (country/region level only)
• Browser type and device information
• Time spent on the website

Important: Google Analytics does NOT have access to any data you enter into the tools. It only tracks general website usage patterns.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

Our website uses minimal cookies and browser storage:

• Analytics Cookies: Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish unique visitors. These are anonymous and don't contain personal information.
• No Functional Cookies: The tools themselves don't use cookies to store your data.
• Browser Session: Your data exists only during your browser session and is cleared when you close the page.

6. Third-Party Services

Our website integrates with the following third-party services:

Google Analytics

For anonymous usage statistics. Subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

CDN Libraries

We use Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to load necessary JavaScript libraries. These don't transmit your personal data.

7. Data Security

Since all data processing happens in your browser:

• Your data is as secure as your device and browser security
• We recommend using up-to-date browsers with security features enabled
• Export files are saved directly to your device and are your responsibility to secure
• We cannot access, recover, or restore any data you create using the tool

8. Children's Privacy

Our tool is designed for use by educational institutions, teachers, and students. While we allow creation of content for users of any age, we do not knowingly collect any personal information from anyone, including children under 13.

9. Your Rights and Control

You have complete control over your data:

• Data Deletion: Simply close the browser or refresh the page to clear all data
• Export Control: You decide when and how to export your files
• No Retention: We don't retain any of your data, so there's nothing to request or delete from us

10. Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates the most recent revision. Continued use of the tool after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

11. International Users

Our tool is accessible globally. Since all processing happens locally in your browser, data doesn't cross international borders through our service. However, third-party services (Google Analytics) may process data according to their international data transfer policies.
