Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
The Toolshed is a collection of browser-based utility tools. This page explains what information we collect, why, and what we do with it.
The short version
Your files never leave your computer. Everything The Toolshed's tools do happens in your browser. We don't upload, store, or process your images, PDFs, or any other files on our servers.
What we collect
Account information
When you create an account, we collect your email address and name (or whatever your Google account provides if you sign in with Google). This is handled by Clerk, our authentication provider.
Purchase records
When you buy a tool, Lemon Squeezy processes your payment. We receive confirmation that the purchase was made and store a record of which tools you own against your account. We never see or store your card details — those go directly to Lemon Squeezy.
Trial usage
We track how many times you've used each paid tool during your free trial. This is stored as a simple count in your account.
What we don't collect
- The files you process with any tool
- Advertising identifiers of any kind
- Data for ad targeting — we don't run ads
We may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand which tools are being used. This doesn't involve tracking cookies or sharing data with ad networks.
Third parties
Clerk
Handles authentication. When you sign in, Clerk sets a session cookie to keep you logged in. Their privacy policy is at clerk.com/privacy.
Lemon Squeezy
Handles payments. Their checkout handles your card details directly — we never see them. Their privacy policy is at lemonsqueezy.com/privacy.
No other third-party services have access to your data.
Cookies
The only cookies on this site are the ones Clerk uses to keep you signed in. We don't set any tracking or advertising cookies.
Data retention
Your account and purchase records are kept as long as your account exists. If you'd like your data deleted, email support@thetoolshed.tools and we'll take care of it.
