Vertex Solutions ("we," "our," or "us") operates vertexssolutions.com and provides free online utility tools. This Privacy Policy describes what information is collected and how our tools process your data.
How Our Tools Process Data
Most Vertex Solutions tool operations process your files or text in your web browser. When you upload a PDF, image, or other file, or paste text into a tool, that data is handled locally on your device for the tool's operation. We do not upload your files to our servers for processing, and we do not store your file contents after you close the page. Some pages may still load analytics or tool-related third-party resources as described elsewhere in this policy.
Because processing happens client-side, closing the browser tab removes the data from active memory. We do not maintain a database of user files or tool inputs.
Information We May Collect
Website Usage
Our hosting provider (Vercel) may collect standard server logs such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and referring URL. These logs help us operate the website and diagnose technical issues.
Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-6YBRZKDPMV) to understand how visitors use this website — for example, which pages are viewed and basic device/browser information. Google Analytics is loaded on pages sitewide via Google's gtag.js script.
Google Analytics may set or read cookies or use similar technologies and may collect identifiers and online identifiers as described in Google's documentation. We use this information to operate and improve the site, not to sell personal information.
For details on how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services, see Google Privacy & Terms — How Google uses data from sites or apps that use our services.
This analytics collection is separate from tool file processing. Using a PDF, image, or text tool still processes your file or text in your browser for that tool's operation, subject to the individual tool page's privacy note and any documented third-party resources.
Contact Form
If you submit our contact form, we receive the name, email address, subject, and message you provide so we can respond to your inquiry. We use this information only to reply to you and do not sell it to third parties.
Theme Preference
If you choose light or dark mode, your preference may be stored locally in your browser so the site remembers your choice on future visits.
Third-Party Resources Loaded in Your Browser
Some tools load external resources directly in your browser to function. These may include:
- PDF.js worker — loaded from a public CDN when you use PDF tools that render or extract pages
- Background removal models — downloaded to your browser when you first use the Remove Background tool
- Google AdSense (when enabled) — If we display ads through Google AdSense, Google may load scripts and resources from Google domains. See the Advertising section below.
Typography is served from our hosting provider via Next.js font optimization — we do not load fonts from third-party CDNs at runtime.
These third parties may receive your IP address as part of a normal HTTP request. They do not receive the contents of files you process unless you explicitly upload data to them (Vertex Solutions tools do not send your files to these services).
Cookies
Vertex Solutions may use cookies and similar technologies in the following ways:
- Theme preference — If you choose light or dark mode, your choice may be stored in browser local storage so the site remembers your setting on future visits.
- Analytics cookies — Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies as described in the Analytics section above.
- Advertising cookies (when enabled) — If we enable Google AdSense on this site, Google and its advertising partners may set cookies or use similar technologies to serve ads, measure ad performance, and — depending on your settings — personalize advertising.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect site functionality or ad personalization.
Advertising
Vertex Solutions may use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this website. When AdSense is enabled, Google and third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites on the Internet.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to personalize ads according to their own policies. You can learn how Google uses data from partner sites in the Google Privacy & Terms — How Google uses data from sites or apps that use our services.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also manage third-party ad personalization at aboutads.info.
AdSense is not enabled until we complete Google's approval process and configure our publisher account. When advertising goes live, this policy will reflect the active services. We do not sell your personal information to advertisers.
How We Use Information
- Operate and maintain the website
- Respond to contact form messages and support requests
- Fix bugs and improve tool performance
- Comply with legal obligations when required
We do not sell your personal information.
Data Security
The site is served over HTTPS. Because files are processed locally, your documents and images are not transmitted to Vertex Solutions servers during normal tool use. No method of electronic storage is completely secure, but we minimize data collection by design.
Children's Privacy
Vertex Solutions is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Contact us if you believe a child has submitted personal data through our contact form.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold (such as contact form submissions). Email privacy@vertexssolutions.com to make a request.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices change. The revision date at the top of this page will be updated accordingly.
