Your files stay on your device.

DailyWebTools is designed so that your files and text are processed locally, inside your own browser. We do not operate an upload pipeline for tool inputs: when you compress an image, merge a PDF, or generate a QR code, the work is done by JavaScript running in your tab, using standard browser APIs.

This policy explains what data exists, where it lives, and what your choices are. It applies to dailywebtools.app and all of its tool pages.

Files you open in a tool (images, PDFs, audio, video, text files) are read by your browser using the File API and processed in memory. They are not transmitted to us or to any server we control.

When a tool produces a result (a compressed image, a merged PDF, a recorded clip), the result exists in your browser's memory until you download it or close the page. Downloading happens directly from your browser to your device.

Tools that use your camera, microphone, or screen (such as the audio recorder or screen recorder) only activate with your explicit permission through the browser's permission prompt. Streams from those devices are processed locally and, in the case of recording, saved only to your device when you choose to download.

To make the site convenient, we store a small amount of preference data in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not readable by us:

Favorites (key “dwt:favorites”) — the list of tools you have starred.

Recent tools (key “dwt:recent”) — the last few tools you opened, so the “Jump back in” list works.

Usage counters (key “dwt:usage”) — how many times you opened each tool, which powers your personal dashboard's “most used” list.

Release notes state (key “dwt:whats-new-seen”) — which release notes you've already read.

Individual tools may store your own tool settings under keys prefixed with “dwt:settings:” so options persist between visits.

You can erase all of this at any time: use the controls on your Dashboard page, or clear site data in your browser settings.

We do not run third-party analytics scripts or advertising scripts on this site. We do not create advertising profiles, and we do not sell or share any data — there is no data pipeline through which we could do so.

If this ever changes, this policy will be updated first, and any analytics or advertising would be disclosed here plainly.

Fonts: the site loads fonts through Next.js font optimization, which self-hosts the font files as part of the site — no request to a font provider is made when you browse.

Contact form: our Contact page embeds a Google Forms form. If you choose to submit the form, your message (and anything you include in it, such as your email address) is processed by Google under Google's own privacy policy. We only see the responses you voluntarily send us through the form.

Everything else: tools are self-contained. No tool sends your inputs anywhere.

Clear local data: the Dashboard page includes controls to clear your recent tools, usage statistics, and favorites. Your browser's “clear site data” option removes everything at once.

Browser permissions: camera, microphone, and screen-sharing tools only work when you grant permission, and you can revoke it at any time in your browser settings.

No account needed: the site works fully without an account, and there are no accounts to delete.

Because tool inputs and results are processed in memory, they are gone when you close or refresh the tab (unless you downloaded them). The only persistent data is the localStorage preference data described above, which stays on your device until you delete it.

If we change how the site works in ways that affect this policy, we will update this page and revise the date below. Material changes will be highlighted in the release notes dialog.
