Key Privacy Points
Browser-First Processing
Most tools process content locally. Three file tools use disclosed server processing.
Usage Analytics
We use first-party tool usage records, Google Analytics, and Vercel Analytics.
No Permanent File Storage
Uploaded file contents are processed in request memory and are not written to the application database.
Optional Services
Accounts, favorites, newsletter signup, and contact forms are optional.
1. Information We Collect
WebUtils.io collects limited information for features you use and for service operation:

5. Cookies and Browser Storage
WebUtils.io uses cookies and browser storage for authentication, usage records, analytics, and tool preferences:

- The current application code does not define an automatic deletion schedule for those records
- Uploaded file contents are not written to the application database or permanent file storage
- Connections use HTTPS, and credential passwords are stored as hashes
