Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 22, 2026

1. General Introduction

Welcome to **SmartToolKit** ("we", "us", or "our"). We are deeply committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a secure user experience. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard the information you provide when using our digital tools (such as PDF tools, ATS Resume Builder, and AI services).

2. Local Processing Privacy (Secure Architecture)

A core feature of our platform is that actual document processing and data manipulation occur directly within your browser (Client-Side Processing) without ever being uploaded to our servers for most tools:

  • **PDF Tools Pro:** Merging, splitting, and compressing occur entirely in-browser, guaranteeing maximum speed and complete privacy of your PDF documents.
  • **ATS Resume Builder:** Drafts are saved locally in your browser's `localStorage` for guests. When you register or log in, drafts are securely encrypted and synced to our cloud databases.

3. Cookies and Advertising Networks

We use cookies to enhance your experience, remember preferences, and analyze traffic. We also display ads from trusted third-party networks:

  • **Google AdSense:** Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized ads by visiting the [Google Ad Settings](https://adssettings.google.com).
  • **Adsterra Network:** Third-party partners may place cookies or tracking tags to customize relevant ad banners. These are subject to their respective privacy policies.
  • **Operational Cookies:** Used to save language preferences, session authentication status (`NextAuth`), and analytics logs.

4. Data Security

We implement robust technical and organizational measures to safeguard your personal data. We utilize SSL encryption for data transfers and perform routine security audits on our cloud databases to prevent unauthorized access.
