Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

MaxMultiTool ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website at maxmultitool.com and provides free online tools including PDF processors, calculators, and document utilities. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle data.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Files You Upload

When you use our PDF tools, you may upload documents, images, or other files. These files are:

• Transmitted securely over HTTPS encryption
• Processed only to perform the requested operation (e.g., compress, merge, convert)
• Never read, analyzed, or reviewed by our team
• Automatically and permanently deleted after processing is complete (maximum retention: 1 hour)
• Never shared with third parties for any purpose

We strongly recommend not uploading files containing highly sensitive information such as passwords, full financial data, or classified documents. While we maintain security measures, no online transmission is 100% guaranteed secure.

2.2 Automatically Collected Data

When you visit MaxMultiTool, our servers automatically log standard technical information:

• IP address — used for security, spam prevention, and geographic analytics
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring URL — the page that brought you to us
• Pages visited and time spent
• Date and time of visit

This data is used only for website analytics, security monitoring, and improving our services. It is not linked to your identity.

2.3 Cookies

We use minimal cookies to provide our services. Types include:

• Essential cookies — Required for the website to function (session management, security)
• Analytics cookies — Help us understand how visitors use the site (aggregated, anonymous data via tools like Google Analytics)
• Preference cookies — Remember settings like dark/light mode preferences

We do not use advertising tracking cookies or sell cookie data to advertisers. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not function correctly without essential cookies.

2.4 Contact Information

If you contact us via email, we collect your email address and message content solely to respond to your inquiry. We retain this for up to 24 months for correspondence records.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information collected to:

• Provide and operate our online tools and services
• Monitor and improve website performance and user experience
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security threats
• Comply with legal obligations
• Respond to your inquiries and support requests
• Analyze usage patterns to prioritize new tool development

We do not use your information to:

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to outside parties except in the following limited circumstances:

• Legal requirements — We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government authority.
• Business transfers — In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred. We will notify users via website notice before such a transfer.
