Your privacy matters to us. Learn how we protect your data and respect your rights.
Welcome to ZiroTools. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you visit and use our website and tools. By accessing ZiroTools, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy. We encourage you to read this document carefully to understand our practices regarding your data.
At ZiroTools, we believe that transparency is essential to building trust with our users. We've designed our platform with privacy as a foundational principle, ensuring that we collect only the minimum information necessary to provide you with excellent service. Unlike many online platforms, we don't sell your data to third parties, we don't track your activities across the internet, and we don't bombard you with intrusive advertising based on your personal information.
Understanding what information we collect and why helps you make informed decisions about using our services. Here's a comprehensive breakdown of the data we gather:
When you visit ZiroTools, certain information is automatically collected through standard web technologies. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device information, referring URLs, pages you visit on our site, time and date of your visit, and time spent on each page. We collect this technical data to understand how visitors use our platform, identify technical issues, improve our services, and ensure security. This information is typically stored in server logs and is not linked to any personally identifiable information unless you contact us directly.
If you choose to contact us via email or any contact form we may provide, we collect the information you voluntarily share with us. This may include your name, email address, subject of inquiry, and the content of your message. We use this information solely to respond to your inquiries, provide support, address your concerns, and improve our services based on your feedback. We never use this information for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
When you use our tools to process files, images, documents, or text, we want to be crystal clear about what happens to your content. Most of our tools process your data directly in your browser using client-side technology, meaning your files never leave your device. For tools that require server-side processing, your files are temporarily stored in memory during the conversion or processing operation and are immediately deleted once the process is complete. We do not store, access, view, or retain any files you upload or content you process through our tools. Your data is yours, and we treat it with the utmost respect and confidentiality.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience on ZiroTools. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences, understand usage patterns, maintain security, and provide essential functionality. We use essential cookies necessary for the website to function properly, analytics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our site (using privacy-focused analytics tools), and preference cookies to remember your settings and choices. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some features on our platform.
The information we collect serves specific purposes that directly benefit your experience on ZiroTools. We are committed to using your data responsibly and only for legitimate purposes that align with your expectations.
We use technical information to operate our tools effectively, identify and fix bugs, optimize performance, understand which tools are most popular, and develop new features based on usage patterns. This helps us prioritize development efforts and ensure our platform remains fast, reliable, and useful.
When you contact us, we use your information to respond to your inquiries, provide technical support, address reported issues, gather feedback for improvements, and notify you about important updates or changes to our services if necessary. We respect your inbox and will not send unsolicited marketing emails.
We analyze usage patterns to detect suspicious activity, prevent abuse of our services, protect against security threats, and ensure the integrity of our platform. This protects both our users and our infrastructure from malicious actors.
We may use and disclose information as required to comply with applicable laws, respond to legal requests from authorities, enforce our terms of service, and protect our rights, property, or safety, as well as those of our users and the public.
We want to be absolutely clear about our data sharing practices: we do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. Your data is not a commodity to us. However, there are limited circumstances where we may share information:
Service Providers: We may share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our website, such as hosting services, analytics providers, and content delivery networks. These providers are contractually obligated to keep your information confidential and use it only for the specific services they provide to us.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental regulation, or if we believe such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect our rights, investigate fraud, or ensure the safety of our users.
Business Transfers: In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the new entity, but only if they agree to honor this privacy policy and protect your data with the same standards we maintain.
Anonymous Data: We may share aggregated, non-personally identifiable information about usage patterns and trends. This data cannot be used to identify individual users and helps us demonstrate the value of our platform.
Protecting your information is a top priority at ZiroTools. We implement industry-standard security measures to safeguard your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our security practices include using secure HTTPS encryption for all data transmission, implementing firewalls and intrusion detection systems, regularly updating our software and systems to patch vulnerabilities, restricting access to personal information to authorized personnel only, and conducting regular security audits and assessments.
For tools that process files server-side, we use temporary memory storage rather than saving files to disk, ensuring your content is never permanently stored on our servers. Once processing is complete, all data is immediately purged from memory. This approach minimizes security risks and ensures your sensitive information isn't inadvertently retained.
While we take every reasonable precaution to protect your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we continuously work to maintain the highest security standards and promptly address any vulnerabilities that are discovered. If you have security concerns or notice any suspicious activity, please contact us immediately.
You have several rights regarding your personal information, and we respect your ability to control your data:
Access and Correction: You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to request correction of any inaccuracies. Simply contact us and we'll provide you with the information we have on file.
Deletion: You can request deletion of your personal information at any time. We will comply with your request except where we're required to retain information for legal or legitimate business purposes.
Cookie Management: You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive notifications when new cookies are set. Note that disabling cookies may affect some functionality on our site.
Opt-Out of Communications: If we send you any communications, you can opt out at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions in the message or contacting us directly.
Data Portability: Where applicable, you have the right to request a copy of your personal information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit through links on our platform. Clicking on a third-party link or enabling third-party services means you're leaving ZiroTools and entering a space governed by different rules.

When we make changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy.
