Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 16, 2026

ToolStacky (“we”, “us”) provides free online tools for PDFs, images, text, handwriting, QR codes, and more at https://toolstacky.com. We collect the minimum data required to operate, secure, and improve these services. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Overview

Your privacy matters. Most of our tools process your files and text directly in your browser, which means your content often never leaves your device. Where server-side processing is needed, data is kept only briefly.

What we collect

• Files & text you provide: processed only to complete the task you request (for example merge, split, convert, resize, or generate handwriting).
• Usage data: anonymized and aggregated metrics such as which tools are used and how the site performs.
• Contact information: if you message us — your name, email address, and message content.
• Cookies and similar technologies: as described in the Cookies and Advertising sections below.

How we use data

• To provide and improve our tools and site reliability.
• To secure the service and prevent abuse.
• To respond to support requests and feedback.
• To display advertising that supports our free tools, as described below.

File handling & retention

Wherever feasible, file processing happens in your browser or in server memory without permanent storage. When temporary storage is required to complete your task, files are retained only as long as necessary and are deleted shortly after processing. We do not view, share, or sell your files. Please keep your own backups of important documents.

Cookies

We use essential cookies needed for security and basic site preferences. We may also use optional cookies for analytics and advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling essential cookies may affect how the site works.

Advertising (Google AdSense)

We use Google AdSense to display advertising, which helps keep our tools free. Please note the following:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
• Users in the European Economic Area and the UK may be shown non-personalized ads or asked for consent where required by law.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (via Google Site Kit) and Google Search Console to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are popular and how fast pages load. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. IP addresses are anonymized where supported. You can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

Third parties

We rely on trusted infrastructure providers, content delivery networks, font providers, and the Google services named above to operate the site. These providers process data only to deliver their service and are restricted from using your data for unrelated purposes. We do not sell your personal data.

Children’s privacy

Our services are usable by the general public and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data, please contact us so we can delete it.

Your choices & rights

• Opt out of personalized advertising using the links in the Advertising section.
• Control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
• Contact us to access, correct, or delete personal data we control (such as emails you have sent us).
