Privacy Policy
ToolBay is built around a simple principle: your data is yours. We do not require an account, we do not ask for your email, and we do not track who you are. This page explains exactly what happens when you use our tools.
Browser-Based Tools
The majority of ToolBay's tools — including calculators, generators, converters, and file utilities like Word Counter, Password Generator, BMI Calculator, Loan Calculator, Unit Converter, Color Palette Generator, Image Compressor, PDF Compressor, PDF to Text, JSON Formatter, Base64 Encoder/Decoder, Age Calculator, Typing Speed Test, and QR Code Generator — run entirely inside your own browser. Nothing you type, upload, or generate with these tools is ever sent to our servers. Once you close or refresh the page, that data is gone.
AI-Powered Tools
Tools such as the AI Text Summarizer, AI Grammar Fixer, AI Bio Writer, PDF to Markdown, and Image to Markdown send your text or file content to a trusted third-party AI provider solely to generate the result you requested. This content is processed in real time and is not stored, logged, or used to train any model by ToolBay. We choose our AI provider based on reliability and performance, and this may change over time without notice, though our commitment to your privacy will not.
File Uploads
For tools that involve PDF or image uploads, files are processed locally in your browser wherever technically possible. Where processing requires our AI provider (such as PDF to Markdown or Image to Markdown), the file content is sent only for the duration of processing and is not retained afterward.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand overall traffic patterns and identify which tools are most in demand, so we can prioritize fixes and improvements. Google Analytics may use cookies and collect standard technical information such as your approximate location, device type, browser, and pages visited. This data is aggregated and used solely to improve ToolBay — it is not used to personally identify you, and we do not combine it with the content you enter into any tool. You can learn more about how Google handles this data in Google's own Privacy Policy, and you can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using browser extensions such as Google's Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Changes to This Policy
As ToolBay grows and adds new tools, this policy may be updated to reflect those changes. We encourage you to check this page periodically. Continued use of ToolBay after changes means you accept the updated policy.
If you have any questions about how ToolBay handles data, feel free to reach out through our contact information listed on the site. For details on acceptable use of our tools and our liability limitations, please see our Terms & Conditions.
