Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 26, 2026

svgtools is a privacy-first SVG optimization tool. This page explains what data we collect (very little), what we don't collect, and how we handle your files.

TL;DR

  • Your SVG files never leave your browser. All processing is client-side.
  • We do not have user accounts, logins, or backend servers for SVG handling.
  • We use localStorage to remember your preferences (theme, language, plugin settings) — this stays on your device.
  • We use Cloudflare for hosting; Cloudflare may collect aggregated request metadata for security and performance.
  • If we display advertisements, the ad provider may use cookies to personalize ads. You can opt out via your browser or ad-provider settings.

What we collect

Information you provide

None. We have no signup, login, contact form, or upload form. The contact email ([email protected]) is optional.

Files you process

SVG files you drop into svgtools are read into your browser's memory, optimized locally, and never transmitted anywhere. Closing the tab clears them entirely.

Local storage

We store the following on your device only:

  • svgtools:locale:v1 — selected language
  • svgtools:plugins:v1 — SVGO plugin toggles
  • svgtools:presets:v1 — your saved presets
  • Theme (dark/light) preference

You can clear all of this by clearing your browser's site data for svgtools.dev.

Hosting metadata

Our host (Cloudflare Pages) records standard request metadata: IP address, browser user agent, referrer, timestamp. This is used for security (DDoS protection) and aggregated analytics. We do not access this for individual user identification.

Advertising (when enabled)

If you see advertisements on svgtools, they may be served by Google AdSense or similar networks. These networks may use cookies to:

  • Show ads relevant to your browsing
  • Measure ad effectiveness
  • Prevent the same ad from being shown repeatedly

You can opt out via:

  • Google's ad personalization: adssettings.google.com
  • “Do Not Track” browser settings
  • Browser extensions (uBlock Origin, etc.) — we do not block them

What we don't do

  • No analytics scripts (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, etc.) by default
  • No social-media trackers (Facebook Pixel, etc.)
  • No fingerprinting
  • No selling, renting, or sharing of any data
  • No newsletter signups, no email marketing

Children's privacy

svgtools is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your rights

Because we don't collect personal data, there's nothing to access, export, or delete on our side. Your locally stored preferences can be cleared via your browser. If you have questions, contact us.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent change. Material changes will be announced on the site.
