1. Tool Data and Technical Logs
Tool inputs, selected file contents, and generated results are not intentionally included in analytics events. Normal page and asset requests still reach our hosting infrastructure and may be recorded in technical logs as described below. The tools are designed not to send the following values for processing or as analytics events:
- Hourly wages, salaries, pay raise figures, and work hours.
- QR code payloads, destination links, text messages, and Wi-Fi network passwords.
- Customer details, billing amounts, or bank information entered into invoices or estimates.
- Applicant names, employment history, or contact data typed into resume builders.
- The binary contents or private filenames of images, PDFs, or documents processed in your browser.
- Visual electronic-signature marks drawn or placed on PDF files.
2. Browser-Local Processing
Calculations, QR generation, and image and PDF processing run in your browser using client-side code. Tool inputs and files are not sent to FivoTools for processing. In-memory work is discarded when you close the tab, but selected tools also save drafts or logs in browser storage so they can be restored later. This includes resume and cover letter drafts, invoice and estimate drafts, and the IRS mileage trip log. Selected tools' form inputs are also saved in this tab's session storage so a refresh can restore them. Selected files may be saved in browser IndexedDB for the same purpose. Those local file copies are removed by Reset or when they are more than seven days old on a later tool visit; clearing this site's browser data also removes them. The Reset button in each tool's input panel clears that tool's saved inputs and files. Long-form drafts and logs may otherwise remain in this browser until you clear them in the tool or remove this site's browser storage. Do not use a shared device for sensitive work unless you clear it afterward.
The PDF Editor is an exception to automatic recovery: its PDF, added text, images and signatures stay in tab memory only. They are not saved to session storage or IndexedDB by this editor. Download before refreshing or closing the tab. Selected font files are requested from the site when needed.
3. Technical Server Logs & Aggregate Analytics
When you visit FivoTools, standard HTTP request information may be recorded by our hosting infrastructure for delivery, security, and troubleshooting. Depending on the host, this can include:
- Your browser user-agent and operating system version.
- Referring URLs, requested resource paths, and HTTP response status codes.
- Date and time stamps of requests.
- IP addresses for transient network routing and security filtering.
If you allow analytics, FivoTools loads Google Analytics 4 to measure page visits and tool use. Google may receive the page path and title, browser/device details, and network information such as your IP address. Analytics cookies may identify a browser across visits. Our event URL context omits query strings and fragments. Tool inputs, files, and generated results are not intentionally included in analytics events. We do not set a user ID or enable Google Signals or ad personalization in the site tag. Tool-use events contain a fixed tool identifier and, where relevant, its category, output type, a coarse duration range, a technical download format or a fixed failure code. They do not include pay values, QR payloads, private filenames, file contents or document text. Download events record that a download was initiated; they do not confirm that a file was saved.
4. Advertising & Third-Party Cookies
FivoTools does not currently load Google AdSense or display Google ads. If advertising is enabled later, Google and other selected advertising partners may collect or receive information when their ad technology runs, including cookie or local-storage identifiers, IP address, and information from web beacons or similar technologies. These may be used to serve and measure ads, limit repeated ads, and detect invalid activity. Before ads are enabled, this policy and the applicable advertising consent controls will be updated to describe the actual setup. Google explains that:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to FivoTools and/or other sites on the internet.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visitingGoogle Ads Settingsor by visitingwww.aboutads.info.
5. Consent Management & Your Privacy Choices
The analytics choice appears before Google Analytics is loaded. You may allow or decline analytics, and reopen the choice with “Analytics choices” in the footer. Your selection is stored in your browser. If browser storage is unavailable, you may need to choose again on the next page. Advertising consent, if ads are enabled later, will need a separate consent setup. Withdrawing a previous analytics grant disables measurement and removes first-party Analytics cookies; it does not erase data already collected by Google.
6. External Links & QR Code Destinations
FivoTools may contain links to external websites, and generated QR codes direct users to external URLs. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the privacy practices, content, or policies of third-party websites or services.
7. Updates to This Policy
If we introduce new features that alter our data processing practices, this Privacy Policy will be updated with an amended "Reviewed & updated" date. We encourage users to periodically review this page.
