We believe in complete transparency. Read how we protect your data, how our tools operate locally, and our terms of service.
Last Updated: May 2, 2026
At UtilityCollection.xyz ("we", "us", "our"), your privacy is our highest priority. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding data collection, usage, and your legal rights when you use our website and tools.
Website & Mobile (Local-First): UtilityCollection operates primarily under a "local-first" architecture. For the vast majority of our tools, we do not collect, store, or transmit your personal files or calculation data. Tools like PDF compressors, image converters, and calculators operate entirely within your device's memory (client-side execution). When you process a file, it is never uploaded to our servers, and session data is destroyed when you close the application or tab.
Mobile App (Cloud Services & Link Pool): Specific community features like User Accounts and Link Pools require cloud synchronization to function. When using the Link Pool feature, we store your login credentials (such as email and encrypted password), the links you generate, creation timestamps, and expiration times on our secure servers. This data is strictly used for providing the Link Pool service. Links are automatically deleted upon expiration without backups.
Personal Data Collection & Telemetry: To provide community features, we collect necessary account information when you choose to register. We do not harvest, collect, or transmit any unnecessary Personally Identifiable Information (PII), device unique identifiers, or invasive application telemetry metrics. Your data is used exclusively to facilitate your chosen cloud features.
To keep UtilityCollection completely free for everyone, we use third-party advertising services to serve ads across our platforms. On our website, we use Google AdSense. On our Android mobile app, we use Google AdMob.
Like almost all websites, we automatically collect basic, non-personally identifying information that web browsers and servers typically make available. This includes browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. We use this generic data solely to understand how visitors use our website and to monitor server performance.
To facilitate native functionality, our mobile application may request permission to access your device's File System and Photo Gallery (for selecting files to merge, convert, or compress). These system permissions are utilized strictly inside the local sandbox boundary. Your photos, files, and camera streams are processed instantly in memory and are never cached permanently, broadcasted, or relayed externally.
For web users, because we do not collect or store user accounts, emails, or personal data to operate our tools, we inherently comply with strict data minimization principles. However, regarding the mobile app and third-party partners:
Law Enforcement: While we prioritize user privacy, the owner and developer reserve the right to disclose any information, including user-generated content from the Link Pool, to law enforcement agencies or government bodies when legally compelled to do so or to protect the safety, rights, and property of the platform or the public. Any reported links in the Link Pool may be retained for at least 1 week, or indefinitely, to facilitate necessary legal actions. We are not liable for any such disclosures made in good faith compliance with the law.
Data Security: Although we implement industry-standard security measures, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. The owner, developer, and associated parties cannot be held liable for unauthorized access, hacking, data loss, or other breaches that may compromise user data or user-generated links. Use the Link Pool and all other services at your own risk.
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not knowingly directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take necessary action.
All tools, calculators, and information provided on UtilityCollection.xyz are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any calculations, conversions, or file modifications performed by our tools.
Limitation of Liability: In no event shall UtilityCollection.xyz, its owners, developers, or affiliates be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages—including but not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, legal disputes, or business interruptions—arising out of the use or inability to use our website or tools.
Financial & Medical Disclaimer: The financial calculators (e.g., EMI, VAT) and health calculators (e.g., BMI, BMR) are designed for general informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or certified financial/tax advice. Always consult a qualified professional before making significant medical or financial decisions.
We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy and Terms of Service at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting on this page. Your continued use of the website after any modifications indicates your acceptance of the updated terms.
If you have any questions, concerns, or legal inquiries regarding this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service, please contact us at:
