Privacy Policy

AllFileTools is a utility platform. We take extra care with the files you upload (PDFs, images, documents, audio, video, data files, and so on).

• Browser-based processing: Some of our tools process your file directly in your browser. With these tools, your file never leaves your device.
• Server-based processing: Some tools need to send your file to our server to produce the result you asked for. When this happens, the file is used only for that task.
• Automatic 1-hour deletion: Every file uploaded to our servers, along with the converted result, is automatically and permanently deleted within one (1) hour.
• No backups or copies: We do not make backups, copies or archives of your files. Once the deletion window ends, the file cannot be recovered.
• No human access: File processing is done by automated scripts. Our team does not open, view, or share the content of your files.
• No selling or reuse: We do not sell your files or use them for advertising, analytics, or training any model.

Please download your result right after processing, because we cannot recover it later.

We collect only the information needed to run, secure and improve the website.

• Log data. Like most websites, our servers automatically record your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time of your visit, pages you viewed, and referring and exit pages. We use this information to keep the site secure, fix problems and understand how the site is used. Because an IP address can identify a device, we treat log data as personal data and protect it accordingly.

• Files you upload. As described in Section 1, files are used only to process your request and are deleted within one hour.

• Information you give us. If you contact us, we receive your name, email address and the contents of your message. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address. We use this only to reply to you or to send the updates you asked for.

• Cookies and similar technologies. See Section 3.

• Information from tools you use. Some tools need an input to work, for example a web address for the SEO tools or a YouTube link for the thumbnail downloader. We use these inputs only to return your result.

Like most websites, AllFileTools uses cookies and similar technologies. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use them to:

• remember your preferences (such as theme or settings);
• keep the site secure and prevent abuse;
• measure traffic and see which tools and pages are popular;
• show and measure advertising.

You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block all cookies, some parts of the site may not work properly. Visitors in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before cookies used for ads and measurement are set, and can change their choice at any time through the privacy settings link on our site.

We use Google AdSense to show ads on our website. Ads help us keep our tools free.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to our website and other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
• These vendors may use cookies, JavaScript or web beacons, and they automatically receive your IP address when ads load in your browser.
• Ad technologies are used to measure how well ads perform and to personalize the ads you see.

Your choices:

• You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com
• You can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at https://www.aboutads.info
• You can learn how Google uses data from sites and apps that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
• You can read more about Google's advertising technologies at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

AllFileTools has no access to or control over the cookies used by third-party advertisers.

To protect our tools from spam and automated abuse, some tools use Google reCAPTCHA. reCAPTCHA collects hardware and software information, such as device and application data, and sends it to Google for analysis. Your use of reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and Google Terms of Service (https://policies.google.com/terms).

Our YouTube Thumbnail Downloader uses YouTube API Services. By using this tool, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms). Google's Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) applies to information handled through YouTube API Services. The video links you enter are used only to show you the result and are not stored for other purposes.

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website, for example which pages are viewed and how long visitors stay. It uses cookies to collect usage data and approximate location, not your name or contact details. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

We use the information we collect to:

• provide, operate and maintain our tools and website;
• improve and develop new tools and features;
• keep the website secure and prevent fraud, spam and abuse;
• respond to your messages and support requests;
• send newsletters you subscribed to (you can unsubscribe at any time);
• show advertising that keeps the website free;
• comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in these cases:

• with service providers that help us run the website, such as hosting, analytics, advertising (Google AdSense) and security (reCAPTCHA), who may only use it to provide their services;
• when required by law, court order or a valid legal request;
• to protect our rights, our users, or the security of the website.

• Uploaded files and results: deleted within one (1) hour.
• Log data: kept for a limited period needed for security and analytics, then deleted or anonymized.
• Contact messages: kept as long as needed to handle your request.
• Newsletter email addresses: kept until you unsubscribe.

We use industry-standard SSL/TLS (HTTPS) encryption to protect data sent between your device and our servers, and we limit access to our systems. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our Privacy Policy applies only to AllFileTools. Our website may link to other websites, advertisers and ad servers that have their own privacy policies. We have no control over, and are not responsible for, their content or practices. We recommend you read their privacy policies, including how to opt out of certain options.

If you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, you have the right to:

• Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure: ask us to delete your personal data, under certain conditions.
• Restriction: ask us to limit how we use your data.
• Objection: object to our processing of your data, including for direct marketing.
• Data portability: ask us to transfer your data to you or another organization.
• Withdraw consent: withdraw your consent at any time, for example for advertising cookies, without affecting earlier processing.

We process personal data based on your consent (advertising cookies and newsletter), our legitimate interests (security, running and improving the website), and legal obligations. To use any of these rights, email adnanafrazweb@gmail.com. We will respond within one month. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.

If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

• know what personal information we collect, use and disclose;
• request deletion of your personal information;
• correct inaccurate personal information;
• opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information;
• not be discriminated against for using these rights.

We do not sell your personal information for money. Some advertising cookies may count as "sharing" under California law. You can opt out through Google Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com) or by emailing adnanafrazweb@gmail.com. We will respond to verified requests within 45 days.

AllFileTools is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us personal information, please contact us at adnanafrazweb@gmail.com and we will delete it promptly.

Our website and service providers may process data in countries other than your own. By using the website, you understand that your information may be transferred and processed in those countries, which may have different data protection laws.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Please review this page periodically. Continued use of the website after changes means you accept the updated policy.

By using our website, you consent to this Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.
