Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 20, 2026

ReadyGoTools (“ReadyGoTools”, “we”, “us”, “our”) operates this website and the tools provided on it (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

1) Information we collect

A) Files you upload to use the tools

When you upload files (images or other supported formats) to convert, compress, resize, or otherwise process, those files are handled by our systems only to provide the output you requested.

  • Temporary processing: Uploads and outputs may be stored temporarily so the tool can run and you can download results.
  • Auto-deletion: Temporary files are automatically deleted after a short period or after processing completes (whichever comes first), subject to operational limitations described below.
  • No public sharing: We do not intentionally publish your uploaded files.

B) Usage, device, and log data

Like most websites, we collect standard technical data automatically for security and operations:

  • IP address (may approximate location)
  • Device type, operating system, browser type/version
  • Referring/exit pages, timestamps, and performance metrics
  • Tool usage events (e.g., tool opened, process started, download requested)
  • Security and error logs (to prevent abuse and fix issues)

C) Cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies/local storage to:

  • Keep the site working properly (security/session)
  • Remember preferences
  • Measure performance and usage
  • Support advertising (if enabled)

D) Contact form submissions

If you contact us, we collect the information you submit (for example: your name, email address, message content, and any attachments you choose to include).

2) How we use information

  • Provide the Service (process files, generate outputs, deliver downloads)
  • Security (rate limiting, bot protection, fraud/abuse detection)
  • Reliability (debugging, monitoring, performance improvements)
  • Support (responding to inquiries)
  • Analytics (understanding usage and improving tools)
  • Legal compliance (enforcing Terms, responding to lawful requests)

3) File handling, retention, and limitations (important)

ReadyGoTools is designed to minimize retention of your uploaded files. However:

  • Temporary storage is required to process files and deliver results.
  • Deletion is not instant and may be delayed by queues, errors, retries, maintenance, or system load.
  • Backups: Some systems may create short-lived backups or snapshots. We do not use backups to access your content and they expire automatically on a schedule.

Do not upload sensitive files (government IDs, financial info, medical records, confidential legal documents). If you choose to upload sensitive content, you do so at your own risk.

4) Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your uploaded file contents. We may share limited information in these situations:

  • Service providers that help operate the Service (hosting, security, analytics, CDN, error monitoring)
  • Legal and safety to comply with law, enforce Terms, or protect rights, property, and safety
  • Business transfers (merger, acquisition, asset sale, or restructuring)

5) Third-party services

We may use third-party services (for example: security/CDN, analytics, and advertising providers). These providers may collect technical identifiers (such as IP address, user agent, and event data) under their own policies.

6) Advertising (if enabled)

If ads are shown, advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure performance and show relevant ads. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Some features may not work properly if cookies are blocked.

7) Data retention

  • Uploaded files and outputs: temporary; deleted automatically after a short period.
  • Logs and security records: retained as needed for security, abuse prevention, and operational troubleshooting.
  • Contact form messages: retained to respond and maintain a support history.

8) Security

We use reasonable safeguards to protect the Service, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure. Use the Service at your own risk and avoid uploading sensitive content.

9) International users

ReadyGoTools is operated from Ontario, Canada, but may be accessed worldwide. If you access the Service from outside Canada, you understand that your information may be processed and stored in Canada and other locations where our hosting/providers operate.

10) Children’s privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child provided personal information, please contact us using our Contact page.

11) Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date will change when updates are posted. Your continued use of the Service after changes means you accept the updated policy.
