Privacy Policy

 

Effective date: November 18, 2025

Welcome to usefreetool.com (“we”, “us”, “the Site”). Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when using our free online tools such as Image Resizer, Image Converter (PNG/JPG), Word Counter, and Text-to-Speech.

 

Information we collect

1. Information you provide directly

You can use our tools without creating an account. When you upload a file (for image resize/convert) or paste text (for word counter / text-to-speech), that content is processed temporarily by our systems to complete the requested task. We do not ask for or require your name, email, or payment information to use the basic tools.

2. Automatic and technical information

When you visit usefreetool.com, we may automatically collect certain technical information about your device and usage such as:

• IP address (used for security and performance diagnostics)
• browser type and version
• pages visited and time spent on pages
• device type and screen size (to help ensure the site works on mobile and desktop)

3. Cookies and similar technologies

We use a small set of cookies and similar technologies to make the site work and to understand how people use the tools. Cookies help us:

• remember your preferences for a short period;
• diagnose issues and keep the service secure;
• collect anonymous usage data so we can improve features.

You can control and delete cookies from your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may affect how some parts of the site function.

How we use your information

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

• to process and complete the tool operation you requested (for example, resize or convert an uploaded image);
• to temporarily store files only for the duration necessary to complete the task;
• to maintain and improve the site, fix bugs, and improve user experience;
• to help secure the site and prevent abuse (for example, rate-limiting automated uploads);
• to gather anonymous analytics about site usage so we can prioritise new tools and improvements.

File handling and retention

Files you upload (images, audio generated from text, etc.) are handled with privacy in mind:

• Files are processed only to perform the requested action.
• Processed files are available to you for download immediately after the task completes.
• Unless you explicitly request otherwise, uploaded files and generated output are removed from our servers shortly after processing—typically within 24 hours or less. We do not archive or reuse your files for other purposes.

Third-party services and integrations

We may use trusted third-party services to help operate the site (for example, hosting, content delivery, or analytics). These providers have access only to the data they need to perform their tasks and are contractually required to protect your information.

We may also include links to external sites or tools. This Privacy Policy does not cover those third-party sites — please review their policies separately before using them.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information and uploaded files while they are in our care. This includes using encrypted connections (HTTPS), secure hosting, and routine security checks. However, no method of transmission or storage on the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children

Our tools are not intended for use by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to remove the information.

Your choices and rights

Because we do not require accounts, the typical “access or delete your account data” process is not necessary in many cases. Nevertheless:

• If you want files removed sooner than our automatic retention schedule, contact us and we will delete them as quickly as possible.
• You can control cookies via your browser settings and opt out of some tracking technologies used for analytics.
• If you have concerns about your data, contact us (see “Contact us” below) and we will respond promptly.

Data transfers

If you are visiting from outside the country where our servers are located, please be aware that your information may be transferred across international borders. We handle such transfers according to applicable laws and take steps to protect your data during transfer.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes that affect how we use your information, we will post the new policy on this page and update the “Effective date” at the top. Your continued use of the site after those changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
