Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026

Tools By White Screen (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “the Site”) operates this website and the related online tools accessible through it. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, the choices you have, and the steps we take to protect your privacy when you use our services. By accessing or using our website, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Summary — your files stay on your device

Every image, PDF, and text tool offered on Tools By White Screen runs entirely inside your web browser using JavaScript, the HTML5 Canvas API, and other client-side technologies. We do not upload, store, copy, transmit, or share any of the files or text content you process with our tools. Once you close the browser tab, the data is gone from our reach. We have no servers that handle, see, or back up your files.

2. Information we collect

You can use most of our tools without giving us any personal information. We do not require you to register or sign in. However, like nearly every website, we may automatically receive limited information when you visit:

  • Log data — Standard server logs from our hosting provider, which may include IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, the pages you visit, and the date and time of your visit. Logs are retained for a short period and used solely for security, debugging, and aggregated traffic analysis.
  • Anonymous usage analytics — Aggregated, non-identifying statistics such as page views, geographic region, and language preferences. These help us understand which tools are most useful and improve the website.
  • Cookies and similar technologies — Small files stored in your browser to remember your preferences and to support advertising and analytics services described below.

We do not knowingly collect health, financial, biometric, or other special-category personal data. If you choose to send us an email through our Contact page, you provide us with your email address and any details included in your message; we use that information only to respond to you.

3. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

  • Strictly necessary — required for the website to function properly (for example, to remember a chosen tool option).
  • Analytics — to measure traffic and improve the service.
  • Advertising — to deliver relevant ads through third-party ad networks.

You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. Disabling cookies will not break the tools, but it may limit some features and personalization.

4. Advertising — Google AdSense and other partners

This site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and, occasionally, other third-party advertising networks. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites.

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.
  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
  • You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • You may also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info or youronlinechoices.eu.

We do not control the content of advertisements or the data practices of advertisers. Their privacy policies govern how they use any data they collect.

5. Analytics

We may use privacy-friendly analytics platforms (such as Google Analytics or similar tools) to understand how visitors interact with the site. These tools collect aggregated, anonymized usage data and do not personally identify you. IP addresses, when collected, may be truncated or anonymized before storage.

6. Legal basis for processing (EEA / UK users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above depends on the data and the context. We rely on:

  • Consent — for non-essential cookies and personalized advertising.
  • Legitimate interests — to operate, maintain, and improve our website.
  • Legal obligation — when we must retain data to comply with applicable law.

7. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal information we hold about you, to object to processing, or to data portability. Residents of California (CCPA/CPRA), the EEA (GDPR), the United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions may exercise applicable rights by contacting us through the Contact page. We will respond within the timeframe required by law.

We do not sell or rent personal information for money. To the extent that the sharing of cookie identifiers with advertising partners is considered a “sale” or “share” under California law, you can opt out by adjusting cookie settings or using the opt-out links above.

8. Data retention

Because we do not receive your files at all, we have nothing to retain or delete on your behalf with respect to the content you process. Server logs and analytics data are retained only for the limited time required to operate the service securely and are then deleted or aggregated.

9. Data security

We use HTTPS to encrypt traffic between your browser and our website. Because file processing happens on your device, your files are never exposed to our infrastructure. While no method of transmission over the Internet is perfectly secure, we take reasonable steps to protect the limited information we do receive.

10. Children's privacy

Our website is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

11. International users

Our website is operated globally. If you access the site from outside your country of residence, you understand that limited information described above may be processed in countries other than your own. We rely on appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law.

12. Third-party links

Our site may contain links to third-party websites and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The “Last updated” date at the top of the page will indicate when the policy was most recently revised. Material changes will be posted prominently on this page. Continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

14. Contact us

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please reach out via the Contact page. We are committed to addressing your concerns promptly.
