Privacy Policy
ToolOcean has no backend to process your files, so for almost every tool there is nothing to collect. This page sets out the exceptions precisely rather than making a blanket claim.
Last updated: 10 October 2026
The short version
- Your files, documents, images, audio and pasted text are processed entirely in your browser. They are never uploaded, because there is no server that could receive them.
- Three tools do make network requests. They are named below.
- No account, no sign-up, and no advertising or analytics cookies.
- Page-view analytics, when enabled, are cookieless and count page views only. Your files never leave the browser.
Your files and text
Every tool in the PDF, image, audio, video, CSV, spreadsheet, compression, archive and converter categories runs as JavaScript inside the page you are already looking at. The file you choose is read into your browser's memory, worked on there, and handed back to you as a download. It does not travel anywhere.
A practical consequence: once the page has loaded, these tools keep working with your network disconnected. That is the clearest proof of the claim. A tool that needed a server would stop.
The three tools that do use the network
These cannot work without a network request, so using them means data leaves your device. Every other tool on the site does not.
- DNS Lookup. The domain name you enter is sent to Google's public DNS-over-HTTPS resolver at
dns.googleto be resolved. Google receives the domain you looked up and your IP address. - IP Address Lookup, calls
ipapi.coandapi.ipify.orgto discover your public IP and its approximate location. Those services necessarily see your IP address. Looking up someone else's IP sends that address to them instead. - HTTP Request Composer, sends a request to whatever URL you type, which is the entire point of the tool. Anything you put in the URL, headers or body goes to that destination. Nothing is routed through ToolOcean.
What is stored on your device
Three values are kept in your browser's localStorage. They stay on your machine and are readable only by this site. Clearing your browser storage removes all of them.
toolOcean.history. A short local list of tools you have used, so recent work is easy to return to. Capped at the last 100 entries.toolOcean.analyticsConsent, whether you accepted or declined analytics, so you are not asked again.darkMode. Your light or dark theme preference.
Analytics
When a build is given an Umami website id, ToolOcean loads a cookieless analytics script from Umami Cloud at cloud.umami.is after the page is already interactive. It counts page views only: the path and the title of the page. It sets no cookie. The script is loaded with Do Not Track enabled, so a browser that sends that signal is not counted. If the website id is not set, the script is not loaded at all.
The home page can also show a public visitor total. That number is read, after the page is idle, from Umami's public share statistics. It is an aggregate count, not a record of you. If the request fails, or the total is under 100, the line is not shown. It does not appear on any other page.
Nothing you type, paste, or open is part of either request. Your files never leave the browser. The tools work the same if you block the script.
A build can still include Google Analytics 4 when a measurement id is configured. That tag is separate, loads only after the page is interactive, and stores no analytics cookie until you accept the banner. Advertising signals stay denied. It receives the page path and title, plus a tool name and a button label when you use a control. It does not receive file contents. Declining the banner, or leaving it alone, stores nothing for that tag.
Hosting and other third parties
- Vercel hosts the site. Like any web host it processes the requests needed to serve pages, and its edge network logs standard request metadata including IP addresses.
- Google Fonts serves the two typefaces the site uses, loaded from Google's CDN. Because the request goes to Google's servers, your IP address is disclosed to Google when a page loads.
Children
The site is a set of general-purpose utilities and is not directed at children. No personal information is knowingly collected from anyone, of any age.
Changes to this policy
If a tool is added that transmits data, this page is updated in the same change. The date above reflects the last revision. For more on how the site is built and why it works this way, see About.
