How Mini-Tools.uk handles browser tools, image uploads and site data.

Quick summary

1. Browser-based tools

Many pages on Mini-Tools.uk are designed to run their main task in the browser. This can include tax and VAT calculations, JSON formatting, text comparison, token estimation, password generation, QR generation, image resizing or other lightweight utilities.

When a tool works this way, the content you enter for that tool is normally processed on your device rather than uploaded to a Mini-Tools.uk application server for the core operation.

• Local processing means the main task happens in the browser.
• It does not mean the whole website works offline or that no external assets are loaded.
• A page may still load scripts, analytics, icons, images or other static assets.

2. Image hosting and uploaded files

The free image hosting page at /upload cannot work as a local-only tool. To create a hosted image URL, the selected image file and required upload settings are sent to a remote endpoint.

Uploaded images may be accessible to anyone who has the generated link. Do not upload private documents, identity documents, financial files, confidential work material, sensitive screenshots, illegal content, adult content, violent or hateful content, copyrighted content without permission, malware, phishing or scam-related content.

• The selected image is uploaded so a hosted URL can be created.
• The chosen retention period, optional long-term storage code and anti-bot verification data may be sent with the upload request.
• Hosted links may remain available after you close the browser tab, depending on the selected retention option.

3. Image retention and deletion requests

The image hosting tool may offer retention choices such as 1 day, 7 days, 30 days or permanent storage when an approved long-term storage code is used. The selected option controls how the service is intended to handle the hosted image.

To request removal of an uploaded image, send the image URL, the removal reason and any relevant rights information to the contact email below. Mini-Tools.uk may remove hosted images that appear to violate upload rules, privacy rights, copyright rules, applicable law or service safety.

4. Analytics and basic website data

Mini-Tools.uk uses Google Analytics to understand broad site usage, such as which pages are visited, what devices or browsers are commonly used, and how visitors move around the site.

Analytics is separate from the content you may process inside a local browser tool. For example, visiting the tax calculator page and entering a salary amount for a browser-side calculation are different types of activity.

Google Analytics may process page visits, browser and device information, approximate location, interaction or performance information, and cookies or similar identifiers. It does not need values entered into a browser-side calculator to measure a page visit.

5. Advertising

Some pages on Mini-Tools.uk may display advertising. Advertising partners, including Google advertising services where used, may use cookies or similar technologies to show, measure or manage ads according to their own policies.

Advertising does not change whether a tool is local-only or server-backed. Tool pages should still explain whether user input stays in the browser or is uploaded to a service.

Google AdSense and its partners may use advertising cookies to serve ads based on previous visits to this site or other websites, including personalised advertising where consent and applicable rules allow it. You can manage personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings.

Other third-party advertising vendors may also use cookies or similar technologies. Where a Google-certified consent management platform is shown, use it to accept, reject or manage advertising and cookie choices.

6. Cookies, localStorage and browser storage

Some pages may use browser storage, such as localStorage, to remember preferences like language, tool settings, recent values or interface state.

Browser storage stays on your device unless a page explicitly sends something elsewhere as part of a remote feature. You can usually clear stored preferences through your browser site data settings.

Browser storage may also remember consent management platform or cookie-related choices when those controls are available.

7. Contact messages

If you contact Mini-Tools.uk by email, the information you send becomes part of that email conversation. Please avoid sending passwords, payment information or highly sensitive personal information through email.

8. Third-party links and services

Mini-Tools.uk may link to third-party websites, documentation, libraries or services. Those websites and services have their own privacy practices. Mini-Tools.uk does not control third-party websites.

Services and external resources currently used by the site may include Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Google consent management, Cloudflare delivery and upload infrastructure, the image upload and storage service, jsDelivr, cdnjs and Google Fonts. A particular page only loads the services required by its code.

9. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as the site adds, removes or rewrites tools. The aim is to keep the wording aligned with how the tools actually work.
