1. Introduction
Welcome to FreePremiumTools ("we", "our", "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy notice, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us.
This privacy notice describes how we might use your information if you visit our website at www.freepremiumtools.com or use our online tools and services.
Please read this privacy notice carefully as it will help you understand what we do with the information that we collect.
2. Information We Collect
Client-Side Processing: Many of our tools are designed to operate entirely client-side, meaning the data you input (like files for conversion or text for manipulation) is processed directly in your web browser and is NOT uploaded to our servers. We do not collect or store the content you process with these client-side tools.
Server-Side Processing (for specific tools): Some advanced tools, particularly AI-powered tools or those requiring significant computational resources (e.g., certain types of file conversions, HTTP header fetching), may require data to be sent to our servers or third-party API providers for processing. When this is the case:
- We only send the minimum data necessary to perform the requested task.
- We do not store your input data or the processed output data on our servers long-term. Data is typically processed in memory or temporarily stored only for the duration of the request.
- We use reputable third-party API providers (e.g., for AI services) and strive to ensure they also adhere to strong privacy standards. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for details on their data handling practices.
Automatically Collected Information: When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain information about your device and usage. This information may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and dates/times of access. This information is primarily needed to maintain the security and operation of our website, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect or receive:
- To provide and maintain our services.
- To improve, personalize, and expand our services.
- To understand and analyze how you use our services.
- For security and fraud prevention.
- To comply with legal obligations.
4. Will Your Information Be Shared With Anyone?
We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.
- Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf (e.g., for hosting, data analysis, email delivery, AI processing). We only share information necessary for them to perform their specific function.
- Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information where we are legally required to do so in order to comply with applicable law, governmental requests, a judicial proceeding, court order, or legal process.
- Vital Interests and Legal Rights: We may disclose your information when we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person, and illegal activities, or as evidence in litigation in which we are involved.
5. Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. Specific information about how we use such technologies and how you can refuse certain cookies is set out in our Cookie Policy.
6. Data Retention
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy notice, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).
For data processed by server-side tools, we aim to delete it from our servers as soon as the processing is complete or within a short, reasonable timeframe thereafter, unless required for debugging or operational stability, in which case it will be anonymized or deleted promptly.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
7. Data Security
We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures designed to protect the security of any personal information we process. However, despite our safeguards and efforts to secure your information, no electronic transmission over the Internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security and improperly collect, access, steal, or modify your information. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, transmission of personal information to and from our Website is at your own risk. You should only access the website within a secure environment.
8. Policy for Minors
We do not knowingly solicit data from or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Website, you represent that you are at least 18 or that you are the parent or guardian of such a minor and consent to such minor dependent’s use of the Website. If we learn that personal information from users less than 18 years of age has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data from our records. If you become aware of any data we may have collected from children under age 18, please contact us.
9. Your Privacy Rights
In some regions (like the EEA, UK, and Canada), you have certain rights under applicable data protection laws. These may include the right (i) to request access and obtain a copy of your personal information, (ii) to request rectification or erasure; (iii) to restrict the processing of your personal information; and (iv) if applicable, to data portability. In certain circumstances, you may also have the right to object to the processing of your personal information. To make such a request, please use the contact details provided below.
10. Updates to This Notice
We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Revised" date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. If we make material changes to this privacy notice, we may notify you either by prominently posting a notice of such changes or by directly sending you a notification. We encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
