Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-02-11

Overview

NothingLeaves ("we", "us", "our") operates the website nothingleaves.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

The most important thing: your data never leaves your device. All tools process everything entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. We have zero access to your images, text, QR codes, or any other content you use with our tools.

1. Data We Do NOT Collect

  • Your files: Images, documents, and text you process with our tools are never uploaded to any server.
  • File contents or names: We do not log, track, or transmit any information about the files you use.
  • Personal information: We do not require accounts, registration, or any personal details to use our tools.
  • Keystrokes or clipboard data: We do not monitor your typing or clipboard activity.

You can verify this yourself: open your browser's Developer Tools (F12), go to the Network tab, and use any tool. You will see zero file upload requests.

2. Data We DO Collect

2a. Analytics (with your consent)

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our site. GA4 collects:

  • Pages visited and time spent
  • General geographic region (country/city level, not precise location)
  • Device type, browser, and operating system
  • Referral source (how you found our site)
  • Anonymized usage events (e.g., "a compression was started" — never what file was compressed)

GA4 uses cookies to track sessions. You can opt out at any time using our cookie consent banner or by adjusting your browser's cookie settings.

2b. Advertising (with your consent)

We may display ads through Google AdSense to support the free operation of this site. AdSense may set cookies to serve relevant ads. You can manage ad personalization at Google Ads Settings.

2c. Server Logs

Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) automatically collects basic server logs including IP addresses, browser user agents, and pages requested. These logs are used for security and performance monitoring and are retained according to Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

7. Third-Party Services

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.
