Privacy Policy

1. Information We May Collect

The information we collect depends on how you interact with God Of Tools:

2. File Processing Architecture

God Of Tools provides browser-based tools for processing images and PDF documents.

All currently deployed tools on God Of Tools are designed and implemented to process files locally in the user's web browser using client-side technologies (HTML5 Canvas, Web Workers, JavaScript, and WebAssembly). Files selected by you for processing are loaded into your device's local memory and are not uploaded to, processed by, or stored on God Of Tools servers.

Examples of current client-side tools include:

• Image Compression & Resizing
• Image Format Conversion (JPG, PNG, WebP)
• Image Cropping & Metadata Inspection
• PDF Merging, Splitting & Rotation
• PDF Page Numbering & Watermarking
• PDF Password Encryption & Unlocking
• PDF Text Extraction & Document Creation

Note: If any future tool or experimental feature requires server-side computation or a third-party API, that requirement will be clearly disclosed directly on the relevant tool page and documented in an updated version of this policy.

3. How We Use Information

Information collected or received by God Of Tools is used solely for legitimate operational purposes, such as:

• Providing, maintaining, and delivering the website functionality
• Responding to your support requests, technical inquiries, and feedback
• Responding to business inquiries directed to site administration
• Diagnosing technical glitches and improving website performance and reliability
• Protecting against malicious activity, denial-of-service attacks, and security incidents
• Complying with applicable legal obligations and regulatory requirements

We do not use personal information for unrelated purposes without an appropriate legal basis or notice where required by applicable law.

4. Legal Bases for Processing

Where applicable data protection legislation (such as GDPR or UK GDPR) requires a lawful basis for processing personal data, we rely on the following:

• Consent: When you voluntarily email us or explicitly choose optional settings.
• Performance of a Contract / Service: To deliver requested tools and communications.
• Legitimate Interests: To secure, maintain, and optimize website stability and protect users against fraud and abuse.
• Legal Compliance: To satisfy applicable statutory or regulatory obligations.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

God Of Tools uses strictly necessary browser storage (such as localStorage) solely to remember your preferred visual display mode (Light or Dark theme). We do not deploy third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.

For comprehensive details on our cookie usage and how to manage your preferences, please review our full Cookie Policy.

6. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted infrastructure and technology providers to deliver God Of Tools:

• Hosting & Content Delivery Network (CDN): Cloud infrastructure providers to serve static website assets reliably and securely.
• Email Routing: Email service infrastructure to receive and respond to inquiries sent to contact@godoftools.com and admin@godoftools.com.

These service providers have access only to technical data necessary to perform their services on our behalf and are bound by confidentiality and security obligations.

7. Email Communications

If you contact God Of Tools via email, we retain correspondence and contact records only for as long as necessary to answer your inquiry and maintain appropriate administrative records.

We do not use your email address for unsolicited marketing or newsletter campaigns without your explicit prior consent.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, including:

• Responding to support requests and administrative inquiries
• Maintaining operational security and preventing abuse
• Complying with applicable statutory retention and legal obligations

Because tool processing takes place in browser memory, your files are never retained on our servers.

9. Data Security

We employ reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect technical information and communication records against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

While we implement modern security best practices, no electronic transmission or internet system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Users should exercise caution and maintain secure browser environments when utilizing online services.

10. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Information may only be disclosed under limited, lawful circumstances:

• Service Providers: Hosting, infrastructure, and technical support providers bound by data protection obligations.
• Legal & Regulatory Compliance: When required by law, subpoena, or valid legal process.
• Protection of Rights: Where necessary to investigate abuse, enforce our Terms of Service, or defend legal claims.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, reorganization, or transfer of website operations in compliance with applicable law.

11. International Data Transfers

Depending on your physical location and the location of our hosting servers, technical data may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. Where required by applicable law, appropriate technical and contractual safeguards are implemented to protect transferred data.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction and applicable data protection legislation, you may have specific statutory rights concerning your personal information:
