Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

LeedyBox does not ask you to create an account. The information involved in using the site is limited to the following:

• Analytics data: Google Analytics records how the site is used, such as pages viewed, approximate location, browser and device type, and referring pages. Until you make a cookie choice it receives this without storing cookies on your device; analytics cookies are used only after you accept, and if you decline, Google Analytics is switched off for this site.
• Request data: Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) receives standard request information, such as IP address and browser details, when your browser downloads the site and the tools' libraries, which are all served from leedybox.com.
• Page performance data: Cloudflare Web Analytics, a service of our hosting provider, measures how quickly pages load from data such as the page address, load times and browser type. It does not use cookies or store anything on your device.
• Preference data: Your theme, language and cookie-consent choices, saved in your browser's local storage on your device.
• Messages: Information you send us by email, for example to support@leedybox.com.
• ID Photo Maker: photos are opened, measured and saved in your browser. Face detection and background separation run on your device with MediaPipe models downloaded from leedybox.com; the photo is not sent to LeedyBox or anyone else. “Take a photo” opens your device’s camera app, which hands the picture to the page like a chosen file; the page does not access the camera itself.

2. Files and Text You Process

LeedyBox tools process your input in your web browser. Images, PDFs, data and text you open, paste or type into a tool are read and processed on your device; they are not uploaded to or stored on LeedyBox servers. This includes:

• Hash Generator: text and files you hash are read and hashed locally, and HMAC keys stay in the page.
• Password & UUID Generator: passwords and UUIDs are created in your browser with its cryptographic random generator. LeedyBox does not store or receive them, so it cannot show or recover them later.
• QR & Barcode Generator: the links, text, Wi-Fi details and numbers you encode, and the resulting images, are created in your browser and not stored by LeedyBox. The tool does not use your camera.
• Word & Character Counter, converters and other text tools: the text you enter is processed in the page and discarded when you close or reload it.
• Image Converter, Image Resizer, Image Compressor, Crop Image, Rotate & Flip Image and Favicon Generator: images are decoded and saved again in your browser. The new files do not contain the original's EXIF data, GPS location, colour profile or other metadata.
• Remove EXIF Data: the metadata in your photos, including any GPS coordinates, is read and shown in your browser only and is not sent to LeedyBox or to any map service.
• Image to Text and PDF to Text: text recognition (OCR) runs in your browser. Only the OCR engine and language data are downloaded, from leedybox.com; your images and PDF pages are not sent anywhere.
• PDF tools, including Organize PDF, Rotate PDF, Add Watermark to PDF and Add Page Numbers: documents are read and saved in your browser's memory and are not uploaded.
• Unix Timestamp Converter: the timestamps and dates you enter are converted in the page and are not sent to LeedyBox.

Copy buttons write a result to your device's clipboard only when you click them, and the copied value stays on your device; it is not sent to LeedyBox.

To work, some tools use open-source libraries, such as PDF.js, pdf-lib, jsPDF, JSZip, SortableJS, Tesseract.js, js-yaml, PapaParse, Transformers.js and ONNX Runtime Web, as well as the QR code, barcode and PNG compression libraries. All of them, and the data they need (such as OCR language data and font tables), are served from leedybox.com itself; the tool pages do not load scripts from public CDNs. These requests fetch code and data only; your files and text are not included. See How It Works for details.

The ID Photo Maker loads MediaPipe Tasks Vision and its face and person models from leedybox.com itself, and only after you choose a photo.

The Simplified ↔ Traditional Chinese converter loads opencc-js and its OpenCC dictionaries from leedybox.com itself, and only when you start using it.

3. Cookies and Browser Storage

• Essential storage: Local storage that remembers your theme, your language and your cookie-consent choice.
• OCR language data: When you use PDF to Text or Image to Text, the Tesseract.js library saves the downloaded language data in your browser's IndexedDB storage so that it can be reused. It contains only the language data, not your images or text.
• Audio to Text models: When you use Audio to Text, the speech recognition engine and the Whisper model you choose are saved in your browser’s Cache Storage so that they do not have to be downloaded again. It contains only these program and model files, not your recordings or transcripts. You can remove them with “Delete saved models” in the tool or by clearing this site’s data in your browser.
• Analytics cookies: Set by Google Analytics after you accept, to measure site usage.
• Advertising cookies: Set by Google AdSense and its partners after you accept, to serve and measure ads.

The Cookie Policy describes each item in more detail.

4. Analytics and Advertising

• Google Analytics: Helps us understand which pages and tools are used so we can improve them. Until you make a choice, Google Analytics is told not to store cookies and receives page views without them; if you accept, it may use analytics cookies, and if you decline, it is switched off for this site.
• Google AdSense: LeedyBox may show ads served by Google. With your consent, Google and its partners can use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Without consent, ads may be limited or non-personalized. You can manage personalized ads in Google Ads Settings.

Google processes this information under its own policies; see How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

5. Third-Party Services and Links

Besides Google, the site relies on Cloudflare for hosting and for measuring page load times; all scripts and libraries of the tools, including Tailwind CSS, are served from leedybox.com. Pages may also link to external sites, including the contribution platforms listed on the Support page (Buy Me a Coffee, Ko-fi and PayPal). If you contribute, the payment is handled by that platform under its own privacy policy, and LeedyBox does not receive your card or bank details. These services have their own privacy policies.

6. Your Choices

• Cookie banner: Accept or decline optional analytics and advertising cookies when the banner appears.
• Cookie settings: Use the “Cookie settings” link in the footer of any page to change your choice later.
• Browser settings: Block or delete cookies and site data in your browser. Clearing site data also resets saved preferences such as the theme and language.

7. Changes to This Policy

We will update this page when the way LeedyBox handles information changes, and revise the “Last updated” date above.
