Utilitool ("we", "us", "our") operates utilitool.app. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights.
Information We Collect
We do not require accounts or registration. We collect minimal data to operate the site:
Usage data: Standard web server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited, referrer) collected automatically when you visit the site. This is used solely for site security and aggregate traffic analysis.
Analytics: We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how tools are used (e.g. page views, session duration). No personally identifiable information is collected.
Cookies & local storage: We store your dark/light mode preference in your browser's local storage. No tracking cookies are set by us.
Your Files Stay on Your Device
All file processing (including HEIC to JPEG conversion) happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files are never uploaded to our servers. We have no access to any files you use with our tools.
Third-Party Services
We may use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:
Google AdSense: We display advertisements served by Google. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other sites. You can opt out at Google Ad Settings.
Cloudflare: Our site is served through Cloudflare's network, which may process request metadata for security and performance purposes.
CDN resources: Some tools load open-source libraries (e.g. heic2any, JSZip) from public CDNs (jsDelivr, Cloudflare CDN). These CDNs may log your IP address when fetching these resources.

Data Retention

Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR, CCPA, or other privacy laws, including the right to access, correct, or delete data about you. Since we collect minimal data and no accounts exist, most requests can be addressed by clearing your browser's local storage. For other requests, contact us at the address below.
