1. Information We Collect

a. Personal Data

We do not require user accounts or personal information to use Rapid Online Tools.

b. Uploaded Content

You may upload text or files for processing. Depending on the transformation:

• Some uploads are processed locally in your browser and do not leave your device.
• Others are sent to our servers for processing. Files may be retained temporarily (up to a few days) for operational and security purposes and are then deleted. Text data is not stored and is discarded immediately after processing.

c. Metadata and Logs

For server-side processing, we log metadata, including:

• File type and size
• IP address
• Timestamps of usage

d. Analytics and Tracking

We use:

• Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage statistics.
• Google AdSense to display relevant advertisements.
• Data collected may include pages visited, transformations used, and order of operations. This helps us improve the Site and user experience.

e. CAPTCHA

For certain uploads, CAPTCHA may be used to prevent abuse. This may involve Google’s reCAPTCHA service, which collects some information in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy.

2. Use of Information

We use collected information to:

• Provide and improve the functionality of the Site
• Ensure the security and integrity of our systems
• Prevent abuse and misuse
• Monitor trends and usage patterns

3. Data Retention

• Uploaded files are deleted within 1 hour to a few days depending on operational requirements.
• Metadata logs may be retained for security monitoring.

4. Third-Party Services

We integrate with third-party services (e.g., Google Analytics, Google Ads, reCAPTCHA). These services may collect their own data under their own privacy policies.

5. Your Choices

• File Uploads: You may choose not to use server-based tools to avoid uploading any files. Most tools on our site run locally in your browser, so even when attaching a file it is not sent to our servers unless stated otherwise in the tool description.
