Last Updated: October 23, 2025

At SmartToolsWala, accessible from https://smarttoolswala.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by SmartToolsWala and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us at contact@smarttoolswala.com.

1. General Information and Consent

This Privacy Policy applies only to our online activities and is valid for visitors to our website with regards to the information that they share and/or collect. By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide and improve our services. The types of information we collect depend on how you use our services.

2.1. Information You Provide to Us

  • Account Information: When you register for an account, we may ask for your name, email address, and password. This is used to create and manage your account.
  • Contact Information: If you contact us directly via our contact form, we may receive your name, email address, and the contents of your message.
  • Newsletter Subscription: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect your email address to send you updates and promotional materials.

2.2. Information We Collect Automatically

  • Log and Usage Data: Like most websites, we use log files. This information includes your IP address, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. This data is used for analyzing trends, administering the site, and gathering demographic information. It is not linked to any personally identifiable information.
  • Cookies and Web Beacons: We use cookies to store information about visitors' preferences and to customize our web page content. For more information, please see our section on "Cookies and Third-Party Advertising".

2.3. Data Processed by Our Tools

We are committed to your privacy. Many of our tools operate entirely on the client-side, meaning your files and data are processed directly in your browser and are never uploaded to our servers.

  • Client-Side Tools: Tools like the Image Converter, JSON Formatter, and QR Code Generator process your data locally. We do not have access to this data.
  • Server-Side & AI Tools: For certain advanced tools, such as our AI-powered features (e.g., YouTube Title Generator, Image to Text), your input data (like text prompts or images) is sent to our servers and processed by third-party AI service providers (e.g., Google Generative AI) to generate the output. This data is used solely for the purpose of providing the tool's functionality and is not stored or used for any other purpose.
  • File Handling: For tools that require file uploads, the files are temporarily stored on our secure servers for processing and are automatically deleted after a short period (typically a few hours). We do not access the content of your files.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

  • To provide, operate, and maintain our website and its tools.
  • To improve, personalize, and expand our website.
  • To understand and analyze how you use our website.
  • To develop new products, services, features, and functionality.
