Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 9, 2026

Welcome to ImagTools ("we," "us," "our"), accessible at https://imagtools.site/. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our free online utilities, converters, security tools, content tools, and domain tools.
 
We built ImagTools because we were tired of downloading heavy desktop software just to convert a file or check a domain. If you're reading this policy, it's probably because you care about your data too — so we've tried to write this in plain English, not legal fog. If you don't agree with our practices, please don't access the site.
 

Who We Are

 
ImagTools is owned and operated by Philip Carter, based in London, United Kingdom. As the data controller for this website, we are responsible for the personal data processed through imagtools.site, in line with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
 

Information We Collect

 
We collect information in a few different ways, depending on how you use our tools. We only collect what's genuinely needed to run the site and improve your experience.
 

Information You Provide Directly

 
When you contact us, subscribe to updates, or use certain tools, you may voluntarily share your name, email address, or the files/text you upload for conversion, compression, or analysis.
 

Files You Upload to Our Tools

 
Our converter, content, and security tools (such as image converters, PDF tools, or file compressors) may temporarily process files you upload. These files are used solely to perform the requested action and are automatically deleted from our servers shortly after processing — we do not retain, review, or use your uploaded content for any other purpose.
 

Automatically Collected Information

 
Like most websites, we automatically log certain technical data when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and timestamps. This helps us understand site performance and fix issues.
 

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

 
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep the site running smoothly and to understand how visitors use our tools.
 
Cookie Type Set By Purpose Can You Disable It?
| Essential  | ImagTools  | Site functionality, security, tool processing  | No — required for basic use
| Analytics  | Google Analytics  | Understand traffic, usage patterns, and site performance  | Yes, via browser settings or opt-out add-on
| Advertising  | Google AdSense / DoubleClick  | Show relevant, interest-based ads  | Yes, via Google Ads Settings or cookie consent tool
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time, and manage ad personalization directly through the Google links in the sections below. Disabling cookies may affect how some tools on the site perform, and may result in less relevant (but not fewer) ads.
 

How We Use Your Information

 
We use the information we collect to operate and improve ImagTools, respond to your inquiries, monitor for abuse or security threats, and understand which tools people find most useful. We do not sell your personal data to third parties, and we never use uploaded files for training, marketing, or any purpose beyond the task you requested.
 

Our Tool Categories and Data Handling

 
ImagTools offers several categories of tools, and each handles data slightly differently:
 

• Utilities Tools – General-purpose tools (calculators, generators, etc.) that typically don't require file uploads or personal data.
• Converters Tools – File format converters that process uploaded files temporarily, deleting them after conversion.
• Security Tools – Tools such as password checkers or hash generators; sensitive inputs are processed in-session and not stored.
• Content Tools – Text and content-related utilities that process the text you enter without permanent storage.
• Domains Tools – Domain lookup and analysis tools that may query publicly available WHOIS/DNS data on your behalf.

Across all categories, our standard practice is to process data only for the duration needed to deliver the result, then discard it.
 

Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies

 
ImagTools uses Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service, to display ads on our website. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
 

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies allows it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to imagtools.site and/or other sites you visit across the internet.
• We do not control the cookies placed by Google or other third-party ad networks, and their use is governed by their own privacy policies, not ours.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, and you can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies used for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices. For more on how Google uses data when you use our site, see Google's How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.
 

California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Note

 
Because Google AdSense may share data with third-party advertising partners, this may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under the CCPA for California residents. If you are a California resident, you may opt out of this data sharing at any time using the Google Ads Settings and AboutAds links above, or by contacting us directly at philipcarter293@gmail.com.
 

Google Analytics

 
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to help us understand how visitors interact with ImagTools. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect data such as pages visited, time spent on the site, approximate geographic location (derived from IP address), device and browser type, and referral source.
 

• The data collected is aggregated and used to improve site performance, content, and user experience — it is not used to personally identify you.
• We have IP anonymization enabled where supported, which truncates/masks your IP address within EU/EEA/UK member states before Google processes it.
• Google Analytics may transfer collected data to Google's servers, including servers located outside the UK/EEA, and process it in accordance with Google's own Privacy Policy.
• You can prevent Google Analytics from using your data by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Interest-Based and Personalized Advertising

 
Ads shown on ImagTools may be personalized based on your browsing behavior on our site and across the web, using data collected via cookies from Google and its advertising partners. If you prefer not to receive personalized ads, you can adjust your preferences through Google Ads Settings or opt out of interest-based advertising industry-wide via the Digital Advertising Alliance or, if in the EU/UK, via Your Online Choices.
 

Sharing Your Information

 
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share limited data with trusted third-party service providers (such as hosting providers, analytics services, or security services) who help us run the website, and only to the extent necessary for them to perform their function. We may also disclose information if required by law, such as in response to a valid legal request from UK or international authorities.
 

Third-Party Links and Services

 
Our site may contain links to external websites or embed third-party services (like analytics or advertising platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties, and we encourage you to review their own privacy policies before interacting with them.
 

Data Retention

 
We retain uploaded files only for as long as needed to complete your requested task — typically minutes to a few hours — after which they are automatically and permanently deleted. Technical log data may be retained for a limited period for security and diagnostic purposes, then anonymized or deleted.
 

Data Security

 
We use industry-standard security measures, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), to protect your data during transmission and processing. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
 

Your Privacy Rights

 
If you are located in the UK or EU, you have rights under UK GDPR/GDPR regarding your personal data, including the right to:
 

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Request data portability
• Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at philipcarter293@gmail.com, and we will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law.
 

Children's Privacy

 
ImagTools is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. In compliance with COPPA and Google AdSense's policies, we do not knowingly allow children under 13 to view personalized ads on our site, and we do not knowingly collect data from children for advertising purposes. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at philipcarter293@gmail.com so we can promptly investigate and remove it.
 

International Users

 
While we are based in the United Kingdom, ImagTools is accessible globally. If you access our site from outside the UK, please be aware that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the UK or other countries where our service providers operate.
 

Changes to This Privacy Policy

 
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
