YOUR DATA IS YOURS

We don't track you. Google Ads does. Here's the full picture.

We built MORELESS.TOOLS because we were tired of trading our personal data for basic functionality.
This privacy policy isn't legal jargon - it's our honest explanation of what happens with your data.
We don't track you, we don't sell your data, and we don't build profiles about you. But we do show Google Ads to keep everything free - and Google has its own tracking. Full transparency below.

We don't track you - period

No analytics cookies, no fingerprinting, no user profiles. We use cookie-free Ackee for anonymous page view counts.

Your data never leaves your browser

Most tools run locally. For server-side processing, data is processed in memory and immediately deleted.

Ads keep it free - you decide

Google Ads is the only third-party that uses cookies. You can decline them - every tool still works perfectly.

DATA COLLECTION

What we collect (spoiler - almost nothing)

Our radical approach to data minimization

Client-side tools

Most of our tools run entirely in your browser. This means:

Your data never leaves your device - Text converters, calculators, formatters, and most utilities process everything locally
No server communication - We don't see what you're processing
No logs, no records, no traces - Your data exists only in your browser's memory

Privacy level on maximum: We literally can't see your data because it never reaches our servers.

Server-side tools

Some tools require server processing (like PDF conversion or document manipulation). For these tools:

In-memory processing - Your files are processed entirely in server memory, not written to permanent storage
Immediate deletion - Files are deleted from memory the moment conversion is complete
Automated failsafe - A cleanup job runs every 5 minutes to wipe any temporary files, ensuring nothing lingers even in edge cases
No permanent storage - We don't keep copies, backups, or thumbnails
No file analysis - We process your files, not analyze their contents
Encrypted transmission - All uploads use HTTPS encryption

Zero retention policy: Your files exist on our server only for the seconds it takes to process them. Then they're gone - permanently.

Analytics & Logging

We use Ackee, an open-source, privacy-friendly analytics tool that respects your privacy:

Page views only - We track how many times each tool is visited
No IP addresses - Your IP is never stored or logged
No cookies - Ackee works without tracking cookies
No personal data - Just anonymous visit counts, nothing else

What we DON'T collect: Personal information, browsing history, device fingerprinting, behavioral profiles, or any data that could identify you personally.

Legal basis for processing (GDPR Art. 6)

Under GDPR, every data processing needs a legal reason. Here are ours:

Server-side file processing - Performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b)). You ask us to convert a file, we process it to deliver the result. No consent needed - it's the whole point of the service
Essential cookies (Cookiebot) - Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)). We need to remember your cookie choice so the site works properly
Analytics (Ackee) - Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)). Anonymous page view counts help us improve our tools. No personal data is involved
Google AdSense cookies - Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)). You explicitly choose to accept or decline advertising cookies via our cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time

COOKIES & STORAGE

The cookie situation

We use them, but not how you think

Essential cookies

We use exactly one essential cookie:

Cookie consent (Cookiebot) - Remembers your cookie choice so we don't ask you every time

That's it. Your preferences, favorites, tool history, and settings are stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB - a browser-native storage technology that is not a cookie, never leaves your device, and is never sent to any server.

What we don't use

Unlike most websites, we deliberately avoid:

Analytics cookies - No Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel. Our analytics (Ackee) works without cookies entirely
Social media cookies - No embedded social widgets that track you
Our own tracking - We don't build profiles, fingerprint devices, or track behavior across pages

The only third-party cookies on this site come from Google AdSense (advertising). You can decline them via our cookie banner, and every tool will still work perfectly.

Your choice matters: Decline ad cookies, use an ad blocker, or disable cookies entirely - our tools work the same regardless.

THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

External dependencies

The few services we can't avoid

Essential services

We use a minimal set of external services to deliver our tools:

Hosting Provider - All our servers run on Hetzner Cloud, located in Germany (EU). Your data never leaves European jurisdiction
CDN Services - For fast loading and proxy (Cloudflare)
SSL Certificate Provider - For encrypted connections (Let's Encrypt)

These services have their own privacy policies, but they only see standard web traffic data - no personal information from you.

Advertising (Google Ads)

Let's be honest - we use Google AdSense to keep our tools free. It's the only third-party service on this site that uses cookies. Here's what that means for you:

Google uses cookies - For ad personalization and measuring ad performance
Cross-site tracking - Google's ad network may track activity across websites to show relevant ads
Your consent is required - We use Cookiebot to ask for your explicit permission before any ad cookies are set. No consent = no ad cookies
You can change your mind - The consent dialog is shown to EU visitors. To withdraw consent, clear your browser cookies and the dialog will appear again on your next visit
You have more control - Manage your ad preferences at Google Ad Settings, or use an ad blocker - we respect that choice
Ad blockers work - We respect your choice to use them

We chose Google Ads because it lets us keep all tools completely free for everyone. The trade-off is that Google handles the advertising and they have their own privacy policy.

International data transfer: Google is a US-based company. When you accept ad cookies, some data may be transferred to the United States under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This only happens if you give consent - decline the cookies, and no data leaves the EU.

YOUR RIGHTS

What you can do

Your data, your rules

Legal rights (GDPR & Beyond)

Under European data protection law (GDPR) and similar regulations, you have these rights:

Right to access - Ask what data we have about you (spoiler number two - probably nothing)
Right to deletion - Request removal of any data we might have
Right to rectification - Correct any inaccurate information
Right to portability - Get your data in a readable format
Right to object - Opt out of any data processing

Since we collect minimal data, most requests will result in "we don't have any data about you" - which is exactly how we like it.

Right to lodge a complaint: If you believe we're not handling your data correctly, you have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority. Since we're a Czech company, our primary authority is the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection (ÚOOÚ). If you're in another EU country, you can also contact your local data protection authority.

Practical control

Beyond legal rights, here's what you can do:

Clear your data - Click the menu icon (⋮⋮⋮) in the header and select Clear all data to wipe all locally stored preferences and favorites instantly
Disable cookies - Our tools will still work, you'll just lose convenience features
Use private browsing - No data will be stored locally
Use ad blockers - We won't break functionality if you block ads

No account required: Since you don't need to sign up, there's no profile to delete or data to export.

Age & consent: All our tools are free to use by anyone, regardless of age. If you're in the EU and under 15 years old (or under the digital consent age in your country), please ask a parent or guardian before accepting marketing cookies. The tools themselves work perfectly without them.

DATA SECURITY

How we protect your data

Security measures and data handling

Technical security

We implement industry-standard security measures:

HTTPS encryption - All data transmission is encrypted using TLS 1.3
Secure headers - Content Security Policy and other protective headers
Regular updates - Server software and dependencies are kept current
Access controls - Limited server access on a need-to-know basis
Automated monitoring - Real-time security monitoring and alerts

Data deletion

Our data deletion policy is simple and automatic:

Uploaded files - Deleted immediately after processing; automated cleanup every 5 minutes as a failsafe
Temporary data - Cleared from memory the moment processing completes
Server logs - Automatically purged after 30 days
No backup retention - Deleted data is permanently gone

Automatic cleanup: Our systems are designed to forget, not remember.
