Privacy Policy

Your privacy is our priority. Here's how we protect your data.

No Cloud Upload

Your files are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers.

Anonymous Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand usage patterns. Your input data is never collected.

No Account Required

Use all tools without signing up. We don't collect personal information.

Overview

GIS Tools is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how our application handles your data.

Data Processing

All data processing occurs locally in your web browser. When you load a file or use any of our tools, the data is processed using JavaScript running on your device. At no point is your geographic data transmitted to our servers or any third party.

Local Storage

We use browser local storage only for:

Theme preference: Your light/dark mode choice
Favorite tools: Which tools you've starred for quick access
Language preference: Your selected interface language

This data never leaves your browser and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

Third-Party Services

The only external resources loaded are:

Map tiles: When viewing maps, tile data may be loaded from OpenStreetMap or other tile providers. This is standard for web mapping and only requests map imagery, not your data.
Fonts: We load fonts from Google Fonts for typography.
Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how people use our tools. This helps us improve the experience and prioritize new features. Google Analytics collects usage data such as pages visited, time spent, and your approximate location. However, the files and data you process with our tools are never sent to any server — they stay entirely in your browser.
