This is the English-language summary of how Monu Tools handles data. If you are in Germany, the legally binding version under the GDPR is the German Datenschutzerklärung.
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Maxwell Aboagye
Hermelinweg 25
22159 Hamburg, Germany

The core promise of this site is that the tools process your input on your own device. When you format JSON, edit or compress an image, redact or unlock a PDF, generate text, or use a calculator, that work happens in your browser. The content you enter is not uploaded, not stored, not logged, and not shared. There are no user accounts and no personal profiles. A few tools save your preferences in your browser's local storage for convenience; that data stays on your device.
The site is hosted by Vercel Inc. When you load a page, technically necessary data (such as your IP address, the time of access, and the page requested) is processed in server log files for the purpose of operating the site securely and reliably. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest).
For consent management we use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP). It stores your consent choice (for example in a cookie or your browser's local storage) so you are not asked again on every visit. Non-essential cookies, in particular those used by Google AdSense and Google Analytics, are only set after you have explicitly agreed in the consent banner. Technically we use Google Consent Mode v2: for visitors in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland the consent signals for advertising and analytics default to "denied", so no such cookies are set and no identifiers are sent before you agree, and they are updated to "granted" only when you accept. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time with effect for the future.
We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate, anonymized usage (such as which tools are popular) so we can improve the site. In the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland, Google Analytics is only activated after you consent in the banner (via Google Consent Mode), and no analytics cookies are set before then. We also use Vercel Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights, which measure traffic and page performance without using cookies. This data is used in aggregate and is not used to build a personal profile of you.
After your consent, this site may use Google AdSense, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure ads. In doing so, data such as your IP address and information about your device and browser may be transmitted to Google and processed in the USA. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; the ad script is only loaded after you agree in the banner. See Google's Privacy Policy for details, and you can turn off personalized advertising in your Google Ad Settings.
In the IP address lookup tool, your own public IP address is read from the request on the server so it can be shown to you. It is not stored and not shared. If you actively start a lookup, the IP address you query is sent to the freeipapi.com service (over HTTPS) to retrieve location and network information, and a map preview may be loaded from OpenStreetMap, which requires your IP address to be sent to their servers to load the map tiles. This only happens when you choose to run the lookup.
Under the GDPR you have the right to access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and to object (Art. 21). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77).
We may update this Privacy Policy so that it always reflects current legal requirements. For questions about your data, contact info@monu.tools.
