Privacy Policy
Last Updated: July 8, 2026
StudentHelpTools.online ("we", "us", "our") provides free, browser-based image and PDF utility tools. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our website, how that information is handled, and the choices available to you. By using StudentHelpTools.online, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Files You Upload
Our tools work by temporarily processing files you choose to upload — for example, an image you want converted or a PDF you want merged. These files are:
- Stored only in a temporary, non-public server directory during processing.
- Never opened, reviewed, or inspected by any member of our team.
- Automatically deleted from our server within a short window after processing completes — typically within minutes, and no later than ten minutes from upload, whether or not you complete the download.
- Not used to train any artificial intelligence model, sold, or shared with any third party.
Because we do not retain your files, we cannot recover a file for you after it has been deleted — please make sure to download your result promptly after processing.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
We do not require account registration, so we do not collect names, passwords, or account profiles. We do not ask for or store personal identity documents beyond the momentary processing needed to run a tool you've chosen to use, such as our Passport Photo Maker.
3. Automatically Collected Technical Data
Like most websites, our server and hosting provider may automatically log limited technical information for security and performance purposes, such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, and timestamps of requests. This information is used in aggregate to monitor site performance, detect abuse, and prevent security incidents. It is not used to identify individual users personally.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use a small number of cookies for basic site functionality (such as remembering your cookie consent choice) and, where enabled, for analytics purposes to understand which tools are most useful to visitors. Full details on cookie usage are available in our Cookie Policy.
5. Third-Party Advertising
StudentHelpTools.online displays advertisements through Google AdSense and may work with other third-party advertising partners in the future. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings page, or by visiting www.aboutads.info if you would like more information about interest-based advertising and how to opt out of it from participating companies.
6. How We Use Information
Any information we do collect is used solely to operate, maintain, secure, and improve StudentHelpTools.online — for example, to diagnose technical errors, prevent abuse of our upload systems, and understand overall (not individual) usage patterns to prioritize which tools to build or improve next.
7. Data Sharing
We do not sell personal data. We may share limited technical information with service providers who help us operate the site, such as our hosting provider, strictly for the purpose of running the service — these providers are not permitted to use that information for their own purposes.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable technical measures to protect the information that passes through our systems, including validating file uploads, restricting where temporary files are stored, and automatically deleting processed files. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children's Privacy
StudentHelpTools.online is intended for general audiences, including students, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children in a manner inconsistent with applicable law. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information improperly, please contact us so we can address it.
10. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of personal data we hold about you. Because we do not retain uploaded files or require accounts, in most cases there is little to no personal data associated with your use of the tools beyond the short-lived technical logs described above. To make a request or ask a question about your data, please contact us using the details below.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
