Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Core Privacy Commitment

At GoToolstack (accessible at gotoolstack.com), your privacy is our highest priority. Unlike traditional web services that upload your files, spreadsheets, text documents, or calculations to remote cloud servers for processing, GoToolstack is built from the ground up on a 100% client-side execution architecture.

Every calculation, file conversion, PDF modification, image blur, code formatting, and cryptographic operation is executed strictly within your local browser sandbox using modern web standards (WebAssembly, HTML5 Canvas 2D, and Web Crypto API). Your tool inputs and files are processed in your browser and never uploaded to GoToolstack servers.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Because of our client-side architecture, we do not have access to, collect, or store:

• Uploaded Files & Documents: Any PDF, image, Excel spreadsheet, JSON file, or text input you process remains entirely in your computer or device's volatile memory (RAM) and is immediately garbage-collected upon closing or refreshing your browser tab.
• Financial & Personal Inputs: Values entered into our loan, mortgage, tax, salary, or investment calculators never leave your client device.
• Passwords & Keys: Passwords entered in our PDF Password Protector or encryption tools are consumed locally by the browser engine and are never transmitted over the network.

3. Distinct Data Streams & Infrastructure Access Logs

To maintain strict transparency and prevent confusion, we clearly separate our client-side tool execution from operational data flows. We do not make misleading blanket claims of "no logs or no cookies across the website". GoToolstack distinguishes the following separate data streams:

• Tool Inputs & File Processing (100% Client-Side): Your tool inputs, parameters, and uploaded files are processed strictly in your local browser sandbox and are NEVER uploaded to or stored on GoToolstack servers.
• Hosting & CDN Network Access Logs: Standard HTTP request data (including IP address, browser user-agent, referring URL, and access timestamps) is automatically logged by cloud hosting and CDN infrastructure strictly for network routing, DDoS mitigation, and system security.
• Contact & Support Inquiries: Communications voluntarily submitted via our contact form or support email (such as name, email address, and message content) operate as a separate data stream solely to respond to your inquiries.
• Analytics & Advertising Cookies: Browser localStorage is used only for non-personal interface preferences (e.g., currency, theme). Separately, third-party advertising networks (such as Google AdSense) utilize cookies to keep our tools free, as detailed in Section 4 below.

4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Cookies

GoToolstack displays advertisements served by Google AdSense and affiliated third-party advertising partners to keep all our tools completely free of charge. In accordance with Google's advertising policies and the European Union User Consent Policy, we disclose the following:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to GoToolstack and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

5. European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have specific rights under the GDPR:

• Right of Access: You have the right to request copies of any personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
• Right to Erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data under certain conditions.
• Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.

Because GoToolstack does not store user accounts or personal profiles, the vast majority of our services hold zero personal identifiers. For any GDPR-related inquiries or data requests, please contact us at [email protected].

6. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA) Compliance

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have the right to know what personal data is collected and to request its deletion. GoToolstack does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for monetary or other valuable consideration.

7. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

GoToolstack does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our legal obligations or technical architecture. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" timestamp. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
