Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 13, 2026

At FigureHowTo.com, accessible from https://figurehowto.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by FigureHowTo and how we use it.

1. Data Processing and &quotPrivacy by Design&quot

We operate on a Privacy-First model. Many of our utilities, including our engineering calculators and text tools, function entirely via client-side JavaScript. This means your data is processed locally in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers.

2. Log Files and Analytics

FigureHowTo follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information collected includes:

  • Internet Protocol (IP) addresses
  • Browser type and version
  • Internet Service Provider (ISP)
  • Date and time stamps
  • Referring/exit pages

This data is used solely for analyzing trends, administering the site, and tracking non-personal user movement to improve our ergonomic interface.

3. File Processing and Retention

For tools that require server-side processing (such as PDF and Image converters):

  • Encryption: All files are uploaded via secure HTTPS/TLS encryption.
  • Temporary Storage: Files are stored in a secured, temporary directory.
  • Automatic Deletion: All uploaded and processed files are permanently deleted from our servers automatically after 60 minutes. We do not manually review, share, or create backups of your files.

4. Cookies and Web Beacons

Like any other website, FigureHowTo uses 'cookies'. These cookies are used to store information including visitors preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited.
