Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how TopOpenTools ("we", "us") handles information when you use our website at topopentools.com. By using the site, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

TopOpenTools is designed to be used without providing any personal information. We do not require account registration and do not ask for your name, email, or any identifying details to use our tools.

We use anonymized, aggregated analytics (via Google Analytics) to understand which tools are most useful — for example, page-view counts and general device or country information. This data is not used to identify individual users. Our advertising partners (see Section 4) may also collect data through cookies when ads are shown to you.

2. Files You Upload

All file processing on TopOpenTools — PDFs, images, and other documents — runs entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Files you select for tools like PDF Merge, Image Compressor, or Image to Text are never transmitted to our servers. They remain on your device at all times and are cleared from memory when you close or refresh the page.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons and local storage) for three purposes:

• Functionality — first-party cookies and browser storage that remember your preferences (for example, your selected currency or cookie-consent choice).
• Analytics — Google Analytics uses cookies to measure how the site is used, in aggregate and anonymized form.
• Advertising — Google AdSense and third-party ad vendors place persistent cookies and use tracking technologies to serve and measure ads (see Section 4).

Advertising and analytics cookies are only set after you accept them via our cookie banner. Until you consent, ad-personalization and analytics storage are disabled by default (Google Consent Mode). You can change or withdraw your choice at any time by clearing your browser cookies.

4. Advertising (Google AdSense & Third Parties)

TopOpenTools displays advertisements through Google AdSense. To serve these ads:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other websites on the internet.
• Google's use of advertising cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
• These third-party ad vendors may place and read cookies on your device, and may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, and interaction with ads, to deliver and measure personalized advertising.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. For more on how Google uses data when you use our site, see How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

5. Third-Party Links

Our site may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.

6. Your Choices & Rights

You can accept or decline non-essential (analytics and advertising) cookies using the banner shown on your first visit. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing cookies for this site. Depending on your location (for example, the EEA, UK, or India), you may have additional rights over your data under laws such as the GDPR or the Digital Personal Data Protection Act; contact us to exercise them.

7. Children's Privacy

TopOpenTools is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
