Privacy Policy

Every PDF and image tool (merge, split, compress, rotate, reorder, resize, convert) processes your file entirely inside your browser tab, using the pdf-lib and Canvas APIs. The file is read into memory, transformed, and handed back to you as a download — it is never sent to a WaryTools server or any third party.

Closing or refreshing the tab discards everything. We have no record of what you processed, because the file never reached us in the first place.

Age, percentage, GST, interest, unit conversion, and date-difference calculators run entirely client-side too. Whatever you type into them stays in your browser and is never transmitted anywhere.

This is the one tool that needs a server, because a short link only works if something remembers what it points to. When you shorten a URL, the destination URL, the generated short code, and a click count are stored in a Supabase database.

Links you create are also saved to your browser’s localStorage so they show up in your history if you come back — this is local to your device, not an account system, and clearing your browser storage clears it.

We do not log who clicked a shortened link, their IP address, or any identifying information — only an aggregate click count on the link itself.

WaryTools uses Sentry to catch and report unexpected errors (e.g. a tool crashing partway through). When an error occurs, technical details — the error message, stack trace, and the page you were on — are sent to Sentry so it can be fixed. This is not used for tracking behavior or building a profile of you.

WaryTools uses Google Analytics to understand how the site is used — which tools get visited, roughly where visitors are located (country/city level, derived from IP, not the IP itself), what device and browser they’re using, and how they got here (search, direct link, referral). This runs by placing a cookie in your browser and sending that usage data to Google.

We use this in aggregate, not to build a profile of any one visitor: it tells us which tools are worth improving, not who you are. Google may combine this data according to its own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.

Your file contents, calculator inputs, and the URLs you shorten are never sent to Google Analytics — it only ever sees which page you’re on, not what you do inside a tool.

WaryTools shows ads served by Google AdSense to keep every tool free with no paywall or account requirement. AdSense sets its own cookies and may use device identifiers to select and measure ads, including ads personalized to your interests based on your browsing across sites that also use Google’s advertising services.

We don’t control what AdSense collects beyond enabling it on our pages, and we never hand AdSense anything from inside a tool — no file, no calculator input, no shortened URL. Google’s own policies govern how ad data is collected, used, and retained; see How Google uses advertising cookies.

You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google at Google Ads Settings, and the industry-wide aboutads.info opt-out covers other participating ad networks.

Analytics and advertising on WaryTools rely on cookies to function. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time — WaryTools’ tools themselves don’t require cookies to work, since all processing happens locally, so blocking them won’t break a PDF, image, or calculator tool. It may reduce ad relevance and stop analytics from counting your visit.

Browser-level controls (tracking protection, “Do Not Track”, private browsing) and extensions that block third-party scripts will also reduce or eliminate what Analytics and AdSense can see.

Every page on WaryTools is served over HTTPS with HSTS enforced, so your connection to the site is always encrypted and browsers are instructed to never fall back to plain HTTP. On top of that, we run a strict Content Security Policy and other security headers (frame-blocking, MIME-sniffing protection, strict referrer rules) designed to limit what a compromised or malicious script could do on the page.

Because PDF, image, and calculator processing happens entirely on your device, the biggest category of risk in an online tool — your files sitting on someone else’s server — doesn’t apply here. There is no upload endpoint for those tools to secure, no file storage to breach, because the file never leaves your browser.

The one piece of real backend state, the URL shortener’s database, is access-controlled so it only accepts the exact, narrow operations the tool needs (creating a link, reading a redirect, incrementing a click count) — nothing broader. No system is unbreakable, and if we ever learn of a security issue that affects your data, we’ll disclose it here.

Shortened URLs and their click counts are kept indefinitely so links keep working; there’s currently no self-serve way to delete one. Analytics and advertising data is retained by Google under its own retention policies, not ours. Files, images, and calculator inputs are never stored in the first place, so there is nothing to retain or delete.

If what WaryTools stores or how it processes data changes meaningfully, this page will be updated and the date at the top will reflect that.
