• To Operate and Maintain Our Website: To present our Website and its contents to you, ensure technical functionality.
• To Provide Tool Functionality: To process the Tool Input Data you provide to deliver the requested tool's service (e.g., convert the image, format the text). Crucially, data entered directly into our tools is typically processed transiently to perform the function and is generally not stored permanently on our servers or linked back to you, unless explicitly stated otherwise for a specific tool's functionality or if required for debugging/logging for a limited time.

• For Security: To monitor for security threats, fraud, or other malicious activity.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent users' personal identification information to others. We may disclose aggregated information about our users (which does not identify any individual) without restriction.

We may disclose personal information that we collect or you provide:   

• To Service Providers: To third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work (e.g., website hosting, analytics providers like Google Analytics [mention specific providers if used]). These providers are obligated to protect your information.   
• For Legal Reasons: If required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

• To Protect Safety: If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to protect the rights, property, or safety of CENTER TOOLS, our users, or others.
• Business Transfers: In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company.   

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and disclosure. However, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission is at your own risk.   

6. Data Retention

We retain Non-Personal Information for analysis and site improvement purposes for as long as necessary. Personal Information, if collected, is retained only for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Tool Input Data is generally processed transiently and not retained long-term, as described in Section 3.

We use cookies (small files placed on your device) and similar tracking technologies to collect Non-Personal Information, enhance user experience (e.g., remember preferences), and analyze site usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect the functionality of the Website and its tools.
