Privacy Policy – Your Data Privacy at CreatorToolsLab

Last Updated: June 2025 | Effective Date: June 2025

At CreatorToolsLab, your privacy is our highest priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our website and online tools. We are committed to transparency and ensuring you understand exactly what happens to your data.

✓ Privacy-First Approach: Most of our tools process data entirely in your browser without any server uploads. However, some tools require minimal data collection to function properly. We'll explain exactly which tools collect what data below.

⚠️ Important Notice: We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of CreatorToolsLab after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on which tools you use. CreatorToolsLab tools fall into two categories based on data processing methods:

These tools process everything directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your device:

  • Image Compressor (Compress to Exact KB)
  • Image Converter
  • Image Resizer
  • Blur Image Tool
  • Photo Enhancer
  • Image to PDF Converter
  • Passport Photo Maker

Data Processing: All image processing happens entirely within your browser's memory. Images are not uploaded to any server, stored in any database, or transmitted over the internet. When you close the browser tab, all data is automatically cleared.

✓ 100% Local Processing Calculator & Text Tools

These tools perform calculations and text processing entirely in your browser:

  • QR Code Generator
  • Social Media QR Code Generator

Data Processing: QR codes are generated using JavaScript libraries running in your browser. The content you encode (URLs, text, contact info) is not transmitted to our servers or stored anywhere.

1.2 Tools That Collect Minimal Data

⚠ External API Used YouTube Thumbnail Downloader

What data is collected: When you use this tool, you provide a YouTube video URL. The tool extracts the video ID from the URL and uses it to construct direct links to YouTube's public thumbnail images.

How it works: The tool fetches publicly available thumbnail images directly from YouTube's CDN (Content Delivery Network) servers. We do not store the URLs you enter or the thumbnails you download.

Privacy note: YouTube may log access to their thumbnail servers according to their own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing YouTube's Privacy Policy.

⚠ Form Submission Contact Form

What data is collected: When you submit our contact form, we collect:

  • Your name (as you provide it)
  • Your email address
  • Subject line
  • Your message content
  • Optional: Contact purpose selection

How we use it: This information is sent directly to our email (umarrasool7770389@gmail.com) via Formspree.io. We use this data solely to respond to your inquiry and provide support.

Data storage: Messages are stored in our email inbox and are retained only as long as necessary to address your request. We do not share your contact information with third parties.
