As Tools1984, we have made it our principle to protect user privacy at the highest level. This Privacy Policy explains how the data processed through our platform is collected, used, stored, and protected. By using the platform, you are deemed to accept this policy.
1. Collected Information
Tools1984 does not request any unnecessary information for the purpose of analyzing user habits or collecting sensitive data.
The categories of collected data are as follows:
- Membership information: Name, surname, email address, password.
- Transaction logs: Frequency of tool usage, transaction success statuses.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, screen size used.
- Payment information: (In premium plans) processed only by the payment provider; Tools1984 does not store credit card information.
2. File Privacy and Processing Logic
Tools1984 never permanently stores images, videos, or PDF files uploaded by users. The vast majority of the tools operate entirely on the browser (client-side); files are not sent to the server.
File processes work as follows:
- Image conversion, compression, and resizing tools work within the browser, and no files are uploaded to the server.
- In tools that require server-side processing (for example, PDF merging), files are temporarily held only during the processing time and are automatically deleted once the process is completed.
- Uploaded files are never shared with third parties under any circumstances.
3. Purposes of Data Usage
The collected data is used solely for the following purposes:
- To provide access to the Tools1984 tools for the user
- To manage membership processes
- To improve the platform and enhance performance
- To detect misuse and ensure security
- If necessary, to inform the user
Tools1984 does not share user data with any person or institution for marketing, sales, or analysis purposes, except for legal obligations.
4. Cookies
Tools1984 may use cookies in a limited scope to improve user experience. These cookies are necessary for session management and security.
No cookies are used for advertising or tracking purposes on our site.
