1. Information We Collect

This may include your name, email address, and any details you choose to include in your message.

Some tools on My Tool City allow you to upload files such as PDFs, images, or documents. These files are processed only to complete the requested action, such as conversion, compression, merging, extraction, or OCR.
We do not require account registration to use these tools. Uploaded files are stored temporarily for processing and are automatically deleted after a short period, unless a longer retention period is technically necessary for tool completion, abuse prevention, or system reliability.

This information helps us secure the site, troubleshoot errors, prevent abuse, and improve speed and usability.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies
My Tool City uses cookies and similar technologies to make the website work properly, understand basic traffic patterns, remember certain preferences, and support advertising.
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser or device. They may be used for:
- essential site functionality

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that some parts of the site may not function properly if certain cookies are blocked.
4. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising
We use Google AdSense and may work with other advertising partners to display ads on My Tool City.
Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You may also opt out of some third-party vendors’ personalized advertising through industry opt-out services.
Useful controls and information:
If third-party vendors or ad networks other than Google serve ads on our site, they may also use cookies or similar technologies, subject to their own privacy policies.
For more information about how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services, users can review Google’s own privacy and partner information pages.
5. Consent for Users in Certain Regions
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may be shown a consent message when you first visit the site. Where required, this consent experience is used to help manage advertising and privacy choices in line with applicable requirements.
Depending on your choice, ads may be personalized, non-personalized, or limited. You can usually update your preferences later through the consent interface, where available. Google requires publishers serving personalized ads in these regions to use a certified CMP setup.
6. Third-Party Services
To run the website, we may rely on trusted third-party providers such as:
- Google AdSense
- hosting and infrastructure providers
- CDN and security services

These third parties may process limited technical data as needed to provide their services. Their data handling is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information handled through our website. Connections to My Tool City are protected through HTTPS.
Uploaded files are retained only for the time needed to process the request and manage system operations, then removed automatically. However, no internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.
8. Children’s Privacy
My Tool City is not intended for children under 13, or a higher minimum age where required by local law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will review the matter promptly.
