GetToolset ("we", "us", "our") provides free tools that run inside your web browser, such as the YouTube Thumbnail Downloader, PDF to Text, Text to PDF, Image Compressor, EPUB to PDF, unit converters and calculators. This Privacy Policy explains what information is and is not collected when you use gettoolset.com (the "Site").
1. The short version
- Our tools process your files and text on your own device. We do not upload them to our servers.
- You do not need an account, and we do not ask for your name or email to use the tools.
- We do not sell your personal information.
2. Files and data you use in the tools
When you open a PDF, image, EPUB, text or any other input in one of our tools, the work is done by your browser using client-side web technologies. The content stays on your device and is not sent to us. Closing or refreshing the page clears it from the tool.
The YouTube Thumbnail Downloader needs a YouTube video link. Thumbnail images are loaded directly from YouTube's servers to your browser, so YouTube may receive your IP address and request details under its own privacy policy.
3. Information stored in your browser
The Site may save small pieces of information on your device so it works the way you expect:
- Theme preference (light or dark mode), kept in local storage.
- Language preference, kept in local storage and, when you pick a language other than English, in a cookie used by the translation feature (see section 4).
This information stays in your browser. You can remove it at any time by clearing your site data in your browser settings.
4. Third-party services
Google Translate
The language selector uses the Google Translate website widget. When you choose a language other than English, your browser loads a script from Google and the text of the page you are viewing is sent to Google to be translated. Google may set cookies and collect technical data under the Google Privacy Policy. Files and text you enter into a tool are your own content; if you use the translation feature while such content is shown on the page, that visible text may be sent to Google as part of the translation. If this concerns you, keep the Site set to English.
Content delivery networks
The Site loads some styling code from third-party content delivery networks (for example, Tailwind CSS). These providers may receive your IP address and browser details when your browser requests those files.
We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their privacy practices.
5. Server logs
Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record basic technical information when you visit, such as IP address, browser type, device type, pages requested, and date and time. This is used for security, reliability and troubleshooting.
6. Information you send us
If you email us at [email protected] or use the Contact page, we receive the information you choose to send, such as your name, email address and message. We use it only to reply to you and to improve the Site. We do not share it with others except where required by law.
7. Cookies
We use only the minimal cookies and local storage described above. We do not use cookies for advertising profiles. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies; doing so may reset your language or theme choice.
8. Children's privacy
The Site is a general-audience service and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
9. Data security
Because your files stay on your device, they are not exposed to us in transit or storage. The Site is served over HTTPS. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security of the Site.
10. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you. Since we collect very little, this mainly applies to messages you have sent us. To make a request, email us at [email protected].
11. Changes to this policy
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. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
12. Contact
