Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
Kritools ("we", "our", "the site") provides free, browser-based utility tools at kritools.in. This Privacy Policy explains what data is collected, how it is used, and the choices you have. We have written it in plain language so you can make an informed decision about using our services.
1. Information We Do Not Collect
Kritools is built on a privacy-first, client-side architecture. This means:
- We do not collect, transmit, or store the text, files, images, JSON, passwords, or any other content you enter into our tools.
- We do not require registration, login, or any personal identifier to use the site.
- We do not sell, rent, or trade any user data to third parties.
- We do not run server-side processing for the tools themselves — everything happens on your device.
2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device
Some tools use your browser's built-in localStorage API to remember preferences between visits. This data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to us. It includes:
- Theme preference — whether you prefer dark or light mode.
- Recently used tools — a short list of tools you have opened, so you can find them faster.
- Favorited tools — any tools you have starred for quick access.
You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data or localStorage for kritools.in. Doing so will reset your preferences but will not affect your ability to use any tool.
3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Kritools itself does not set first-party cookies for tracking. However, third-party services we use — primarily Google AdSense and analytics providers — may set cookies on your device when you visit the site. These cookies are used for:
- Measuring aggregate traffic patterns (which pages are popular, how visitors navigate the site).
- Serving relevant advertisements through Google AdSense.
- Preventing fraudulent ad activity and ensuring ads display correctly.
Google AdSense & DART Cookies
Kritools uses Google AdSense to display advertisements that keep our tools free. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on this site. Specifically:
- Google uses the DART cookie to serve ads to users based on their visit to kritools.in and other sites on the Internet.
- Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ads Settings page or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
- 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.
- Third-party vendors and ad networks may also serve ads on this site. You may visit those vendors' websites to opt out of personalized advertising.
For more information on how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, please review Google's Privacy & Terms.
4. Analytics
Kritools may use privacy-conscious analytics tools to understand aggregate traffic patterns — such as which tools are most popular, how many visitors arrive each day, and which pages are most often shared. Analytics data is anonymized and aggregated; it is not used to identify individual users and is never linked to the content you process in our tools.
5. Third-Party Services
Some tools load resources from third-party content delivery networks (CDNs) in order to function. These include:
| Service | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Google Fonts | Typography for the site |
| jsDelivr / cdnjs | Third-party JavaScript libraries (QR code, PDF generation) |
| PostImages (i.postimg.cc) | Hosting of the Kritools logo |
| Google AdSense | Display advertising |
When your browser loads resources from these third parties, your IP address is exposed to them in the normal course of loading a web page, the same way any website works. We do not control these third parties and encourage you to review their privacy policies.
6. Children's Privacy
Kritools is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
7. Your Rights
Because we do not collect personal data on our servers, there is generally nothing for us to delete, export, or correct. The only data associated with your use of Kritools lives in your own browser's localStorage, which you control entirely. If you have questions about your rights under GDPR, CCPA, or similar regulations, please contact us.
8. Data Security
Since we do not store your content or personal data, there is no server-side database to breach. The primary security concern for users is the security of their own device and browser — which is outside our control. We recommend keeping your browser updated and clearing site data periodically if you share a device.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the site evolves or as legal requirements change. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of Kritools after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
