Privacy Policy
Last Updated: July 13, 2026.
At RealOnlineTools, accessible from realonlinetools.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information we handle, collect, or record and how we use it.
1. Client-Side, On-Device Processing
Our core promise is simple: **nothing you upload or type ever leaves your device**. All mathematical calculations, unit conversions, image optimization (compression/resizing), PDF operations (merging/splitting), and text tools execute 100% locally in your web browser using client-side JavaScript APIs. We do not maintain or run backend servers to process your files, and we never store, upload, or transmit your private files or inputs.
2. Advertising & Cookies (Google AdSense)
We partner with third-party advertising networks, specifically Google AdSense, to display advertisements on our website. In compliance with Google AdSense program policies, please note the following regarding cookies and ad serving:
- Third-Party Cookies: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.
- Personalized Advertising: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve advertisements to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- Opt-Out Instructions: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out page at www.aboutads.info.
3. Device Information, Location, and User Consent
During your visit, third-party advertising networks like Google may collect device-specific information (such as hardware configuration, operating system versions, and unique browser identifiers) and coarse location data (such as country or region derived from IP addresses) to optimize ad delivery, prevent fraud, and serve localized ads.
To strictly satisfy Section 10 of the Google AdSense Terms of Service and comply with regional privacy directives (such as the GDPR in Europe and the CCPA in California), we request and obtain user consent before setting personalized advertising cookies or identifiers in regions where consent is legally required. Users can modify their tracking preferences at any time through our on-site cookie consent options or directly within their browser configurations.
4. Local Storage
Some utilities on RealOnlineTools utilize the browser's standard localStorage API to save user configurations, history log parameters, or recent calculation inputs for your convenience. This data is stored entirely on your local device and is never sent to our servers. You can clear this information at any time by clearing your browser cache and site settings.
5. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. Please be aware that we have no control over the content and policies of these external sites, and cannot accept responsibility or liability for their respective privacy practices.
6. Policy Changes
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We advise you to review this page periodically for any modifications. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective immediately when posted on this page.
