1. Introduction

Welcome to PinoTools. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any information processed when you use our website and web-based developer utilities.

2. Client-Side Data Processing

The majority of tools provided on PinoTools (such as text formatters, converters, encode/decode utilities, and generators) execute entirely within your web browser (client-side).

  • Your input data, source code, uploaded text, or transformed content is never transmitted to or stored on our servers.
  • Processing happens locally on your computer or mobile device.

3. Information We Collect

PinoTools does not require user registration, logins, or personal accounts. We collect minimal non-personally identifiable technical information:

  • Local Storage: We use your browser's localStorage solely to save your local UI preferences (such as theme choice, recently used tools, and favorite tools). This data remains exclusively on your device.
  • Server Logs & Analytics: Standard log data (IP address, browser type, referring pages, timestamp) may be automatically recorded by our web server and standard web analytics tools to monitor uptime, performance, and security.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

PinoTools uses browser local storage and essential cookies to enhance your browsing experience. We do not use cookies to track your activity across third-party websites or build personal profiles.

5. Third-Party Services

We may utilize third-party services such as Google Analytics or Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) for static assets and libraries. These services may collect technical data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

6. Security

We employ industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption for all HTTP connections to ensure your interaction with PinoTools is secure.
