If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives you specific rights over your personal data. This page explains how those rights apply to your use of MaxoTools.com.
1. Data minimization by design
The majority of our tools process your text or files entirely within your browser. That data is never transmitted to us, which means for those tools there is effectively no personal data for us to collect, store, or process on the server side.
2. Legal basis for processing
Where we do process limited personal data — for example, information submitted through our Contact form, or technical/log data collected automatically — our legal basis is either your consent (for optional cookies/analytics) or our legitimate interest in operating and securing the Site.
3. Your rights under GDPR
Subject to applicable conditions and exceptions, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you;
- Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data;
- Erase your data ("right to be forgotten");
- Restrict or object to certain processing;
- Data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format;
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent;
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
4. How to exercise your rights
To make a request regarding your personal data, contact us via our Contact page with details of your request. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law, generally within one month.
5. International data transfers
Where any data is transferred outside the EEA (for example, via a third-party analytics or hosting provider), we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses.
6. Data retention
Contact form submissions and any server-processed files are retained only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose they were collected for, after which they are deleted.
For full detail on what data we collect and why, see our Privacy Policy.
