Privacy Policy

1. Core Principle: Zero Cloud Processing

At illtools.com and across all of our subdomains (including ScreenTake, ClipFit, CamCheck, PDFDesk, and others), we operate under a strict client-side processing architecture.

When you select a video, drop a PDF, take a screen recording, or run an image conversion:

• Your files, recordings, audio streams, and documents never leave your computer or mobile device.
• No file contents are uploaded to our servers, cloud buckets, or third-party storage.
• Processing executes inside your browser using technologies such as WebCodecs, WebAssembly (WASM), and the Web Audio API.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, view, store, or sell:

• Document contents, PDF text, images, or media files.
• Microphone or camera recordings.
• Personal identifiers, contact lists, or uploaded database rows.

3. Local Storage and Browser State

Some tools may store non-sensitive user preferences (such as dark mode theme, recent export resolution presets, or audio output device IDs) in your browser's local storage (`localStorage`). This data stays on your machine and is never transmitted to us.

4. Third-Party Services & Advertising Disclosures

To support free operations, our websites may display non-intrusive advertisements served by partners such as Google AdSense. These advertising partners may use cookies or web beacons to serve ads based on your visit to this or other websites.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info or Google's Ads Settings.
