Effective Date: March 01, 2025
At LoadFrom.net, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website LoadFrom.net (the "Site") and use our tools. Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.
1. Information We Collect
We collect very limited information and prioritize client-side processing to ensure your privacy.
- No Personal Information Collected for Most Tools: For the majority of our tools (e.g., Image Compressor, PDF Merger, Text Case Converter, Line Sort & Remover, QR Code Generator, Word Counter, Barcode Generator, HTML Encoder/Decoder, CSS Minifier, JavaScript Minifier), all processing happens directly in your web browser. This means your files and data are never uploaded to our servers, and we do not collect, store, or have access to any of the content you process using these tools.
- Server-Side Tools: Our "URL Downloader" tool requires interaction with our server to fetch content from external URLs. When you use this tool, the URL you provide is sent to our server to facilitate the download. We do not store logs of the URLs requested by individual users beyond what is necessary for immediate processing and error debugging. Downloaded content is processed transiently and is not stored on our servers after it has been delivered to you.
- Analytics Data: We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to understand how our site is used. These services may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and pages visited. This data is aggregated and anonymized, and it helps us improve the site's functionality and user experience. We do not link this data to individual users.
- Cookies: We use cookies to facilitate your Browse experience and for analytics purposes. Cookies are small data files stored on your device. You have the option to accept or refuse cookies through your browser settings.
- Contact Form: If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message to respond to your inquiry. This information is used solely for communication purposes and is not stored beyond what is necessary to resolve your request.
2. How We Use Your Information

- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues.
3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to third parties. We may share aggregated and anonymized data with third-party service providers (e.g., analytics providers) for purposes such as website analysis and improvement. These third parties are obligated to keep your information confidential.
We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).
4. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect the security of any information we process. However, please be aware that no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
5. Data Retention
We retain collected information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. For client-side processed data, no retention occurs on our servers as the data is never transferred to us.
