Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices regarding your data. By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Data Security & Privacy (Core)

🔒 Your Files Never Leave Your Device

This is our most important privacy promise:

✅ All tools run entirely in your web browser
✅ Files are NOT uploaded to any server
✅ Files are NOT stored, cached, or backed up
✅ No one at ToolTari can access your documents
✅ Processing happens locally using JavaScript libraries
✅ Once you close the page, all data is permanently gone

Unlike other "free" online tools that upload your sensitive documents to unknown servers, ToolTari is built different. We use modern browser technologies (PDF.js, pdf-lib, Canvas API) to process everything on your device.

This means:

Your confidential documents remain confidential
No data breaches from our servers (because we have no servers storing files)
No third-party access to your content
Complete legal compliance for sensitive industries (healthcare, legal, finance)

Security Best Practices: Always use our tools on trusted devices and keep your browser updated for the latest security patches.
