Privacy Policy

At NowTo Tools, your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our website (tools.now.to).

Browser-Based Processing

All file processing on NowTo Tools happens entirely within your web browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers or any third-party servers. When you use our tools to compress videos, edit images, process PDFs, or use developer utilities, all operations are performed locally on your device using technologies like WebAssembly, Canvas API, and Web Crypto API.

Information We Collect

While we do not collect or access your files, we do collect limited anonymous data to improve our service:

• Usage analytics (pages visited, tool usage frequency) via Google Analytics and Firebase Analytics
• Device information (browser type, screen resolution, operating system) for compatibility improvements
• Approximate geographic location (country/region level) derived from IP address for content localization

Cookies

We use cookies for analytics tracking (Google Analytics), advertising personalization (Google AdSense), and storing your preferences (language, theme). You can manage cookie preferences through the cookie consent banner or your browser settings.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect data according to their own privacy policies:

• Google Analytics and Firebase Analytics — for understanding usage patterns and improving our tools
• Google AdSense — for displaying relevant advertisements to support our free service

Your Rights

Since we do not store your personal files or data on our servers, there is no user data to request, modify, or delete. You can clear any locally stored preferences by clearing your browser data. You may opt out of analytics tracking by declining cookies or using browser privacy features.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
