Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2, 2026
Introduction
SodaTool takes your privacy very seriously. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website and services. We recommend reading it in full to understand how we handle data.
Scope
This privacy policy applies to the SodaTool website (sodatool.com) and all online tools and services it provides. By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Information We Collect
Usage Information
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about how visitors use our website. This includes pages visited, time spent on the site, and approximate geographic location.
Files and Data
When you use our tools, files are processed locally in your browser whenever possible. We do not store, collect, or access the files or content you process with our tools.
Local-First Processing
We are committed to a 'local-first' design. The vast majority of tools — such as format conversion, image processing, and encoding/decoding — run entirely in your browser, and your files are never uploaded to our servers. Only the few features that genuinely require server-side computation transmit data, which is deleted immediately after processing.
How We Use Information
The information we collect is used to:
- Improve and optimize our website and tools
- Understand user behavior and preferences
- Fix technical issues and bugs
- Analyze usage patterns to develop new features
Our Commitment
We will never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes. We only collect the minimum information necessary to maintain and improve our services.
Data Security
We take appropriate security measures to protect your information. Since most of our tools process files locally in your browser, your data never leaves your device. For tools that require server-side processing, we ensure secure transmission and do not store your files after processing.
Cookies
We use cookies for analytics through Google Analytics. These cookies help us understand how the website is used. You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you prefer.
Third-Party Services
We use Google Analytics to analyze website traffic. Google Analytics may collect information about your use of our website. For more information about how Google uses this data, please refer to Google's privacy policy.
Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the information we hold about you
- Request deletion of your information
- Opt out of analytics tracking
- Ask questions about our privacy practices
Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Policy Changes
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new privacy policy on this page and updating the 'Last Updated' date.
