Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 27, 2026 · Effective Date: January 1, 2026

1. Core Principle: 100% Client-Side Processing

At MegaTools, your privacy is not just a policy — it is fundamentally baked into our technical architecture. All developer, media, and security utilities available on this site execute entirely inside your web browser (client-side).

When you enter text, generate cryptographic keys, merge PDF documents, encode Base64, compress photos, or inspect SSL certificates:

  • Your files, texts, passwords, and data are never transmitted to any server.
  • No backend database or cloud storage holds your input or output files.
  • All memory allocated for data processing is instantly released when you close or refresh the tab.

2. Web Analytics & Cookies

To understand overall website performance and visitor counts, we may use privacy-respecting analytics tools such as Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics (GA4).

These analytics services only collect aggregated, non-personally identifiable technical information (such as browser type, general country-level location, device category, and pages visited). They never inspect or collect the contents of the files you process in our tools.

3. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense

We may display third-party advertisements (such as Google AdSense or developer ad networks) to support server hosting costs and keep MegaTools 100% free for everyone.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this or other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (google.com/settings/ads) or via the Network Advertising Initiative (aboutads.info).

4. GDPR & CCPA Compliance

Because MegaTools does not collect, process, or store personal user data on external servers, we are fully compliant with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

5. Changes & Inquiries

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy as new features or browser APIs are introduced. Any updates will be reflected on this page with an updated timestamp.
