Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026. This policy explains what data ChooseTools (operated by hoursmedia) does and does not process when you use this website.

Your files. All tools on this site process files locally in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your files are never uploaded to, stored on, or seen by our servers. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet after a tool page loads — the tool keeps working.

Analytics. We use privacy-respecting aggregate analytics to understand which tools are used and improve the site. This may include pages visited, browser type, country-level location and referral source. It never includes the content of your files or texts.

Advertising. This site may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com). EU/EEA/UK visitors are shown a consent banner in accordance with the GDPR and are served non-personalized ads unless consent is given.

Cookies. Apart from the advertising and consent cookies described above, this site sets no tracking cookies. Your language preference may be stored locally in your browser.

Newsletter. If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address with our email provider solely to send you the newsletter. Every email contains a one-click unsubscribe link, and we use double opt-in.

Your rights. Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct or delete personal data we hold about you (which, for most visitors, is none). Contact us using the details on the Contact page.

Changes. We may update this policy as the site evolves; the date above always reflects the latest revision.
