This Privacy Policy applies to SmallSeoTools, accessible at smallseotools.cv We operate this platform from Pakistan and serve users across the world. This policy is written to comply with applicable Pakistani data protection standards as well as the expectations of international users visiting from any country or region.

We have written this policy in plain, clear language because we believe you have the right to understand exactly how your information is handled — without having to decode legal jargon to find the answer.

By visiting or using any tool on SmallSeoTools, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of it, please stop using the platform.

1. Who We Are

SmallSeoTools is a free online image SEO platform providing tools for image conversion, compression, resizing, text extraction, and related operations. The platform is owned and operated by an individual based in Pakistan and is accessible globally at smallseotools.cv.

2. What Information We Collect

We collect the minimum amount of information necessary to operate the platform, deliver our tools, and improve the user experience. We do not require you to create an account or provide personal details to use any tool on SmallSeoTools.

2.1 Files You Upload

When you use tools that require a file upload — such as image converters, compressors, resizers, or text extractors — your uploaded file is processed on our servers solely to complete the task you requested. Files uploaded to SmallSeoTools are not stored permanently, are not shared with any third party, are not indexed or analyzed for any secondary purpose, and are automatically removed from our servers once processing is complete.

We handle your uploaded files with care and use them for one purpose only — to give you back the output you came for.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you visit SmallSeoTools, certain technical information is collected automatically through standard web technologies. This includes your IP address, browser type and version, device type and operating system, the pages you visit on our site, how long you spend on each page, the website that referred you to ours, and the date and time of your visit.

This information is collected through server logs and third-party analytics services. It is used in aggregated form to understand how visitors use the platform, identify technical problems, improve tool performance, and maintain the security of the site. It is not used to personally identify individual visitors.

Google AdSense uses cookies, web beacons, and related tracking technologies to collect information about your visits to SmallSeoTools and other websites. This information is used by Google and its advertising partners to display advertisements that are relevant to your interests.

As a user, you have the following options regarding personalized advertising from Google.

Contact information provided through direct inquiries is retained only for as long as necessary to address the relevant communication.

Advertising-related data collected by Google AdSense is governed by Google's own data retention policies.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable and appropriate measures to protect the information we handle against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include the use of HTTPS for secure data transmission, server-side security configurations, and access restrictions on our infrastructure.

We are committed to protecting your data. However, no system of data transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure. While we take our security responsibilities seriously, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of any information transmitted to or from SmallSeoTools.

If you believe your information has been compromised in connection with your use of our platform, please contact us immediately using the details provided in the Contact section.

9. Children's Privacy

SmallSeoTools is not designed for or directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age.

Users in jurisdictions where a higher minimum age applies for digital services are expected to comply with the laws applicable in their region.

Through your browser — most modern browsers allow you to view, manage, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Blocking certain types of cookies may affect the functionality of parts of the platform. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions on managing cookies.

If you are visiting from outside Pakistan — including from the European Union, United Kingdom, United States, or any other jurisdiction — please be aware that your information may be processed and stored in environments outside your home country.
