Privacy Policy
At BoringTools (accessible at boringtools.vercel.app), the privacy of our visitors is our primary priority. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information we handle and our commitment to client-side data privacy.
1. Client-First Architecture
BoringTools operates as a client-side utility suite. Your calculations, image compressions, PDF parsing, OCR conversions, and operations are performed directly inside your web browser. We do not store, upload, or transmit your files, credentials, or personal input data to any external servers.
2. Cookies and Web Storage
Like many modern web apps, BoringTools uses standard browser storage (such as localStorage and sessionStorage) solely to preserve your tool settings, theme preferences, and locally saved calculations. None of this data is transmitted or sold to third parties.
3. Third-Party Services & Analytics
We may utilize privacy-friendly analytics (such as Vercel Analytics) and Google AdSense for service maintenance. These providers may use basic technical signals (such as IP addresses and browser types) in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
4. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
BoringTools is intended for general audiences aged 13 and older (or 16 in jurisdictions where required by law, such as the EU and UK). We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or maintain personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child under 13 has registered an account or provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately and we will promptly delete that information from our records.
5. Zero Keystroke Logging & No Session Replay
We do not run invasive session replay scripts (such as Hotjar, Clarity, or FullStory) or keystroke loggers. Any text, numbers, or documents entered into our tools, calculators, or converters remain strictly isolated within your browser memory and are never monitored or recorded.
