Privacy Policy
Your privacy comes first at BixTools. This policy explains in plain English what happens when you use our tools, what limited technical data is collected, and how your rights are protected.
1. Local Browser Processing for Documents, Images & Calculators
Most tools on BixTools, including Merge PDF, Split PDF, JPG to PDF, Text to PDF, HEIC to JPG, Image Compressor, Image Resizer, WebP to PNG, QR Code Generator, Password Generator, Word Counter, Stylish Text Generator, EMI Calculator, BMI Calculator, and Unit Converter, run entirely inside your web browser using client side JavaScript.
When you select a PDF, photo, or text file in these tools, the file stays in your device memory. It is never uploaded to our servers, never viewed by our team, and never shared with third parties. Once you close the browser tab, your temporary session data is cleared automatically.
2. Video Downloader & Link Shortener Services
- Video & Thumbnail Downloader: When you paste a public video link to fetch a thumbnail or media stream, our system processes only the URL you submitted in order to retrieve the publicly available media information. We do not store a history of the links you look up tied to your personal identity.
- Link Shortener: When you create a short URL on BixTools, the original destination URL and the custom alias you choose are stored so that anyone clicking your short link can be redirected to the destination page. Do not include private or confidential personal data inside a URL that you shorten publicly.
3. Information We Do Not Collect
We do not require you to register an account, log in, or provide your name, home address, phone number, or payment details to use BixTools. If you voluntarily send us an email or message through our Contact page, we use your email address and message only to reply to your inquiry.
4. Server Logs, Analytics & Cookies
Like almost every website, our web hosting and security providers automatically record basic, non identifying technical information when your browser requests a page. This can include your browser type, operating system, referring page, date and time of visit, and anonymized IP address used to prevent abuse and keep the website fast and reliable.
We may also use cookies and similar web storage technologies to remember your tool preferences and measure aggregate website traffic. For full details on how cookies work and how to control them, please read our Cookie Policy.
5. Advertising & Google AdSense
To keep BixTools 100% free for everyone, we may display advertisements provided by third party ad networks such as Google AdSense. These advertising partners may use cookies, including the Google DoubleClick DART cookie, to serve ads based on your visit to BixTools and other websites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting www.aboutads.info.
6. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR, UK GDPR & CCPA)
Depending on where you live, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and California, you have specific rights regarding personal data, including the right to know what data is collected, the right to request deletion, and the right to opt out of personalized advertising cookies. Because BixTools does not maintain user accounts or store your converted files on our servers, we hold no personal profile on you. You can manage cookie consent and browser storage directly through your browser settings at any time.
7. Children's Privacy
BixTools provides general audience utility tools and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal details to us by email, please contact us and we will delete the message promptly.
