Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 4, 2026

1. Overview

PC Tool (https://pctool.in) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal information.

2. Data We Collect

Account Information: When you sign in, we collect your mobile number. It is used to verify you via WhatsApp OTP, to contact you about your account, and to occasionally tell you about new or improved tools — rarely, less than once a month, and you can stop those at any time. You do not need to provide an email address or connect any third-party account to use our service.

Usage Data: We log which tools you use and when, for analytics and to show your recent tools. We do not log the content of your files.

Payment Data: Payment transactions are processed securely by Razorpay. We do not store your credit card, debit card, or bank account details. We only store the transaction ID and coin purchase record.

3. File Processing & Privacy

This is our core privacy commitment: the majority of our tools process your files entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your images, PDFs, and documents are never uploaded to our servers. They stay on your device at all times. For tools that require server-side processing (such as background removal), files are processed and immediately deleted from our servers — they are never stored permanently.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use your data to provide and improve our services, manage your account and coin balance, process payments through Razorpay, show your recently used tools, send important service notifications, and prevent fraud and abuse.

5. Messages We Send You

Service messages. These are part of having an account and are sent whether or not you opt in to anything else: your login OTP, payment and coin-balance confirmations, and notices about a change to these terms or to your account. They go to the mobile number on your account, over WhatsApp or SMS.

Tool updates. When we add a tool or significantly improve one, we may tell you on WhatsApp. These are rare — less than once a month. Accepting the Terms & Conditions when you register includes agreeing to these, which is stated on the registration form itself, next to the box you tick.

Stopping them. You can stop tool updates at any time by replying STOP to one of them on WhatsApp, or by asking us at the contact address below. Stopping them does not affect your account, your coins, or any tool — everything keeps working exactly the same. Service messages continue, because they are needed to operate your account.

We do not send daily or weekly marketing, and we do not send offers from anyone else.

We do not sell, rent or share your mobile number with anyone for their own marketing.

6. Cookies & Advertising

We use essential cookies for session management (keeping you logged in) and authentication. We do not sell your data to third parties.

We also use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites on the internet. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads to users based on their visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on users' visits to our site and/or other sites.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You may also opt out of third-party vendor use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. For more information about how Google uses data when you use our site, visit Google's Privacy & Terms.

7. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services: Razorpay for payment processing, Google AdSense (a third-party ad network) for displaying advertisements on free tools, and WhatsApp / Meta for OTP-based authentication. Each of these services operates under its own privacy policy.

8. Data Retention

Your account data is retained as long as your account is active. Usage logs are retained for up to 12 months. Payment records are retained as required by Indian tax and financial regulations. You can request deletion of your account by contacting us.

9. Data Security

We use HTTPS encryption for all data transmission, secure session management with HttpOnly cookies, and industry-standard database security practices. However, no method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your Rights

You have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of your account and associated data, and withdraw consent for data processing at any time.

11. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover we have collected such data, we will delete it promptly.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
