Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 24, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Plix.Tools ("we", "our", "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it when you visit https://plix.tools (the "Site").

2. The Core Privacy Principle: No File Uploads

All image conversion, PDF, calculation, generation and developer tools on Plix.Tools operate entirely within your web browser. Your files, images, documents and any data you enter into our tools are never transmitted to or stored on our servers. We have zero access to any content you process using our tools.

This is technically enforced by design - our servers serve only static HTML, CSS and JavaScript files. There is no server-side processing infrastructure for user data.

3. Information We Collect

3a. Usage Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymised information about how visitors use the Site. This includes: pages visited, time spent on pages, browser type and version, operating system, approximate geographic region (country/city level), referring website, and device type. Google Analytics does not collect personally identifiable information such as your name or email address. Data is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

3b. Contact Form

If you submit the contact form, we collect your name, email address and message. This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not shared with third parties or used for marketing.

3c. Browser Local Storage

Some tools store small amounts of data in your browser's localStorage to improve your experience. Specifically:

None of this data is transmitted to us. It is stored entirely on your device and you can clear it at any time via your browser’s site data settings.

4. Cookies & Consent

We use the following types of cookies:

On your first visit you will be shown a cookie consent banner. You may choose Accept All (analytics & advertising cookies enabled) or Necessary Only (only essential functional storage). We implement Google Consent Mode v2 — if you decline, no tracking or advertising cookies are set and Google receives only cookieless, aggregate signals.

You can change your preference at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in the site footer, or by clearing your browser's localStorage for this site. To opt out of personalised Google advertising globally, visit Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info.

5. Advertising

We use Google AdSense (publisher ID: ca-pub-4210148095902650) to display advertisements. Advertising cookies and personalisation are only activated if you click Accept All in the consent banner. If you choose Necessary Only, Google will receive a cookieless signal and ads shown will not be personalised.

Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. For more information, see Google's advertising policies. To opt out of interest-based advertising, visit Google Ads Settings.

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to deliver the Site. Each has its own privacy policy:

These services may collect IP addresses and other standard web request information as part of their normal operation. We do not control their data practices.

7. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to: operate and improve the Site; understand how visitors use our tools; display relevant advertisements; respond to contact form enquiries; and detect and prevent technical issues. We do not sell, rent or trade any personal information to third parties.

8. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].

9. Children's Privacy

Plix.Tools is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.

10. Dark Mode & Site Preferences

Plix.Tools includes a dark mode feature. Your colour scheme preference (dark or light) is stored locally in your browser under the key plix_theme. Similarly, your recently visited tools are stored under plix_recent_v1. These preferences are held entirely on your device — they are never sent to our servers or any third party. You can reset them at any time by clearing your browser’s localStorage for this site.

11. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Our Site does not currently respond to DNT signals as there is no industry standard for how to respond. We encourage you to use browser privacy settings and extensions to manage your tracking preferences.

12. Data Security

Since we do not collect or store your files or tool inputs, the primary privacy risk - data breach of user content - does not apply to Plix.Tools. For the limited data we do hold (analytics, contact form submissions), we implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect it.

13. Data Retention

Contact form messages are retained for as long as necessary to respond to your enquiry, after which they are deleted. Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months by default. Browser localStorage data remains on your device until you clear it - we have no access to or control over it.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
