Free browser tools

CSV and JSON contents are processed on your device and are not uploaded to ToolForge.

Anonymous product measurements

ToolForge stores daily aggregate counts for tool starts, successful completions, downloads, and product-interest clicks. These events contain the page path and event name—not file contents, names, email addresses, cookies, or advertising identifiers.

Payments

When purchasing Data Pro, payment and billing details are handled by Stripe. ToolForge stores a non-reversible license-key hash, Stripe order reference, plan, status, and creation date. ToolForge does not store card details.

Desktop app

The Windows app processes files locally. License validation sends only the entered license key over an encrypted connection; file contents and filenames are not transmitted.
