Privacy Policy

At AshToolbox (accessible from ashtoolbox.com and its associated subdomains), the privacy of our visitors is of paramount importance to us. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information that is collected and recorded by AshToolbox and how we protect and utilize it.

      Summary for Users: Core document manipulation, mathematical calculators, text analysis, and image compression tools operate client-side in your web browser. However, standard web hosting servers generate access logs, Google Analytics and Google AdSense utilize cookies and advertising identifiers, and embedded third-party services (such as game emulators) interact with external origins.
    

1. Client-Side Processing vs. External Services

We believe in data minimization. Here is an exact breakdown of how data is handled across AshToolbox:

Local Browser Utilities: Tools including AshPDF Suite (merge, split, watermark, rotate, etc.), QuickCV Resume Builder, Media Optimizer, Password Generator, and Financial/Health Calculators process your inputs and files entirely in local browser memory via JavaScript, WebAssembly, and Canvas API. Your file bytes, resume details, and financial figures are not transmitted to or stored on our servers.
Web Hosting Server Logs: Like virtually all websites hosted on platforms like Vercel, requests to load HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or font files automatically record standard server log information, including your IP address, browser user-agent, operating system, and request timestamps.
External Embedded Content: Certain third-party features (such as the retro arcade emulator) are loaded via sandboxed `<iframe>` elements hosted on external domains (e.g. retrogames.cc). These external servers may collect network information according to their independent privacy policies.
Contact Inquiries: When you send a message via our Contact page, the details provided (name, email, message) are transmitted to our support inbox to answer your inquiry.

2. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

AshToolbox participates in the Google AdSense advertising program to help fund free public utilities. Google and its certified advertising partners use cookies and device identifiers to serve advertisements based on your prior visits to this website and other websites across the internet.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
Alternatively, users can opt out of certain third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info or Your Online Choices.
For comprehensive details on how Google processes user information across partner platforms, please read How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

3. Web Analytics & Cookie Usage

We utilize Google Analytics (measurement ID `G-NC9E5MEEVP`) to assess aggregated traffic trends, page views, and visitor interactions. Analytics cookies collect anonymized device identifiers and usage metrics. You can manage or disable cookies via your browser settings at any time without impacting the functionality of client-side tools.

4. Data Retention and Security

Because document manipulation and calculations run in local browser memory, AshToolbox does not retain your processed PDF files, images, or resume inputs. Temporary object URLs generated during file processing are released and revoked automatically by your browser session. For inquiries sent via email, messages are retained strictly as necessary to provide customer support.

5. Third-Party Websites & Links

Our website features external links to software tools in our AI Directory and career pages. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites or services.

6. User Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your geographic location, you may have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including the right to access, rectify, or request deletion of personal information you provide directly to us (e.g. support emails). AshToolbox does not sell personal information to third parties.
