Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2026

1. Our Privacy Commitment

At ToolKit India ("we", "our", "us"), we take your privacy extremely seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect (spoiler: very little), how we use it, and your rights regarding your data when you use our website at https://toolkitindia.io (the "Service").

By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. The Short Version

Here's the most important thing to know: All our tools work entirely in your web browser. Your files, photos, documents, and personal data never leave your device. We don't have servers that process your content. We don't store your inputs. We don't track your activity within our tools.

3. Information We DO NOT Collect

We want to be crystal clear about what we don't collect:

  • ❌ Files you upload: Images, PDFs, and documents you use in our tools never leave your browser
  • ❌ Calculator inputs: Your loan amounts, salary figures, ages, etc. are not stored anywhere
  • ❌ Personal information: We don't ask for your name, email, phone, or address
  • ❌ Financial data: No payment information because we don't charge anything
  • ❌ Location data: We don't track your physical location
  • ❌ Account creation: No sign-up means no account database

4. Information We MAY Collect

To improve our website performance, we may collect minimal, anonymous technical data:

4.1 Server Logs

Our web hosting provider automatically logs basic information when you visit our site, including:

  • Your IP address (anonymized after 24 hours)
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Date and time of your visit
  • Pages visited (URLs)
  • Referring website

This data is used solely for security monitoring and basic traffic analytics. It is not linked to any personal identifier.

4.2 Cookies & Local Storage

We use minimal browser storage for the following purposes:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the website to function (e.g., remembering your tool preferences)
  • Local storage: Some tools may save your preferences (like preferred image quality) locally on your device. This data never leaves your browser.

You can clear these at any time through your browser settings without affecting the functionality of our tools.

4.3 Analytics

We may use privacy-focused analytics tools (such as Plausible Analytics or self-hosted alternatives) to understand which pages and tools are most popular. This helps us improve our service. These analytics:

  • Do not use cookies
  • Do not track individuals
  • Do not share data with third parties
  • Are GDPR, CCPA, and DPDP Act compliant

5. How We Use Information

The minimal technical data we collect is used only for:

  • Improving website performance and user experience
  • Identifying which tools to develop or enhance
  • Preventing abuse, spam, and security threats
  • Complying with legal obligations

6. Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. Ever. Period.

We may share anonymous aggregate data (e.g., "1000 users used the EMI calculator this month") for marketing or partnership purposes, but this data cannot be linked back to any individual user.

7. Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services that have their own privacy policies:

  • Web hosting providers: For serving our website (e.g., Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare)
  • QR Code Library: The QR code generator uses qrcode.js (open-source, no data collection)
  • Font providers: If we use web fonts, they are loaded from privacy-respecting CDNs

8. Children's Privacy

Our service is designed for users of all ages, including children. Since we don't collect personal information, we comply with children's privacy regulations including COPPA (US) and the Indian DPDP Act provisions for minors.

9. Your Rights (DPDP Act, GDPR, CCPA)

Under various privacy laws including the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (India), GDPR (EU), and CCPA (California), you have the following rights:

  • Right to Access: Request what information we have about you (likely none)
  • Right to Deletion: Request deletion of any data we hold
  • Right to Correction: Correct any inaccurate data
  • Right to Portability: Receive your data in a portable format
