Privacy Policy

Last updated 2026-09-13

FreeMicroTools is built to collect as little as possible. This policy covers the whole site at https://freemicrotools.com. Each tool also has its own short privacy page describing exactly what that tool does.

The short version

Files you use with the tools

PDF and image tools do their work inside your browser. The files are read and changed on your own device and are never uploaded to us or anyone else. Closing the page discards them. Images that a tool saves for you are created fresh from the picture, so hidden details such as the location a photo was taken are not copied into them.

Text tools and generators

The word counter, case converter and JSON formatter work on what you type or paste inside your browser; that text is never sent to us. The QR code generator turns links, Wi-Fi passwords, payment and contact details into a code on your device, and the code holds them directly rather than redirecting through our server, so we cannot see who scans it. The password generator creates passwords with your browser's own secure random number generator; they are never sent to us or stored. When one of these tools asks whether it did the job, the short summary we receive describes the result, such as "16 characters, very strong" or "Wi-Fi, PNG", and never includes the text, password or details you entered.

GST Invoice Generator

Everything you enter in the invoice generator, including business and customer names, addresses, GSTINs, amounts, bank details and a logo, stays in your browser, and the PDF is created on your device; none of it is sent to us. If you choose to have the tool remember your details, your own business, bank, UPI and notes details, your logo and your last invoice number are saved in your browser's storage on that device only, and are deleted when you untick the option. Customer details and items are never saved. When an invoice is downloaded we receive only the usage count described below: the number of items and whether a QR code or logo was used, never names, amounts or GSTINs.

The Lakh Crore Converter works on the numbers you type inside your browser. They are never sent to us or stored; when you copy a result we count only which kind of result was copied, never the number.

The Twitter & X Video Downloader

When you paste a link, the link is sent to our server so it can ask X which videos are in that public post. The link is used for that one lookup and is not saved. The video then downloads directly from X's servers to your device, so X receives that request under X's own privacy policy. We never have a copy of the video.

What we count

When a page opens, it sends us the address of the page, the name of the website that linked you to it (for example, a search engine) and, if the link carried one, a short campaign tag. Like every website, we also receive your IP address and your browser's user-agent string with the request.

We use those to make a visitor code. We combine your IP address, your user-agent string and our site's name with a random secret, and scramble the result into a short one-way code. The secret is replaced with a new random one every day and the old one is thrown away. So the code changes daily, cannot be turned back into your address, and cannot be used to recognise you on another day, not even by us. It lets us count how many different people visited on a day, rather than just how many times pages were opened.

For each page opened we store the day, that code, the page, the name of the linking website or campaign tag, and whether the browser was on a phone, a tablet or a computer. Your IP address and user-agent string are not stored. No cookies are used and no outside analytics service is involved. These records are deleted after about 13 months. Visits from automated browsers, and from browsers set to "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control, are not counted at all.

Anyone can see the totals on our open stats page: visitors per day and the most visited pages over the last 30 days. It never shows anything about an individual visit.

We also keep daily totals of tool actions, such as how many videos were looked up or how many PDFs were merged, with nothing about who did them.

Limits that stop abuse

Some tools limit how many requests one connection can make per hour. To do this we store a scrambled code made from your IP address, a secret key and the date, together with a request count. The code changes every day and cannot be turned back into your address.

Rating a tool

After you finish a job, a tool may ask whether it did the job. If you answer, we store your answer (yes or no), any reason or comment you choose to add, which tool it was, when you answered, and a short summary of the result you got, such as "Recommended · 2.1 MB → 640 KB". File names and file contents are never included.

To allow one rating per device and to spot automated or coordinated ratings, we also store two scrambled codes: one made from your IP address and a secret key, and one made from the first part of your IP address (your network). They cannot be turned back into your address, and they are cleared from ratings after 180 days. When you finish a job with a tool, we note the same code and the tool name for 24 hours, so a rating can be matched to a real use of that tool.

Your browser remembers on your own device that you answered or closed the question, so it is not asked again for a while. This is kept in your browser's storage, is not a cookie and is not sent to us. We may show a tool's overall score on its page, counted from ratings. We never publish your comment without asking you, or anything that identifies you.

When you contact us

The contact, support, tool suggestion and copyright forms ask for your email address, an optional name and your message, and note which page you sent it from. We store this in our database so we can answer, and an email copy is sent to our inbox through our email delivery provider, Resend. We keep messages for as long as we need them to handle your request and keep a record of it. Ask us and we will delete yours, unless we must keep it (for example, a copyright notice).

Hosting and server logs

The site is hosted by Hostinger. Like any web server, theirs may record standard technical logs, such as IP address, browser type and the pages requested, to keep the service secure and running. Those logs are handled under Hostinger's policies and are not used by us to identify or profile visitors.

Cookies

The public site sets no cookies. Remembering that you answered a tool rating uses your browser's own storage, as described above. The only cookie we use is a login cookie for our own staff admin area, which visitors never see.

Browser extensions and payments

Browser extensions have their own privacy policies on their pages. FreeMicroTools does not take payments today. If a paid plan launches, payments will be handled by a payment processor such as Stripe, and this policy will be updated before then to describe it.

Your choices and rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us what personal information we hold about you (in practice, messages you have sent us), ask us to correct or delete it, and get an answer within 30 days. We do not sell or share personal information, and we do not use it for targeted advertising.

Children

The site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top will change with it. Significant changes will be noted on this page.
