Privacy Policy

At Toolchat.io, we value your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data when you use our AI-enabled file utility services.

1. Information We Collect

• File Uploads: Files you upload (e.g., images, PDFs, audio) are processed temporarily to perform the requested actions and are deleted automatically after processing unless you choose temporary storage.
• Temporary Storage Data: If you use temporary storage, we store your selected retention duration, download limits, and short-link access data until expiry or usage limits are reached.
• Usage Data: We may collect anonymized usage data such as tool usage frequency, feature interaction, and device/browser type to improve the service.
• Text Inputs: Any text you type into the chat input is stored and used to generate the requested outputs, conduct research, and improve our product.
• File Metadata: We store metadata about the files you upload (such as file type, size, and processing actions) to help us improve our services and understand usage patterns.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect solely to:

• Provide and improve the functionality of our tools
• Ensure security and prevent misuse
• Understand user preferences and improve user experience

3. File & Data Retention

For standard processing, uploaded files are handled in real-time and automatically removed after the operation is complete. If you enable temporary storage, files are retained only for the selected duration or until configured download limits are reached, after which they automatically become unavailable.

4. Cookies & Tracking

We may use basic cookies to enhance your browsing experience, such as remembering your tool preferences. We do not use third-party trackers or analytics tools that collect personal information.

5. Third-Party Services

We do not share your data with any third-party services. All operations and file processing happen securely within our infrastructure.
