The short version
GIS Toolbox is a client-side web application. Coordinate conversion, format conversion, measurement, and data processing all execute in your browser using WebAssembly and JavaScript. The files you open, the coordinates you paste, and the results you export never leave your device unless you explicitly publish them yourself.
Data we do not collect
We do not operate a backend that stores your GIS data. There is no server-side database of your conversions, uploads, or exports. We do not require an account, and we do not link behavior to an identity.
Third-party services and cookies
GIS Toolbox loads the following third-party resources. Each one may set cookies or collect limited technical data as described in its own policy:
- Vercel Web Analytics — Privacy-friendly, cookie-less aggregate page-view statistics used to understand overall traffic. No cross-site tracking.
- Google Analytics 4 — Loaded only after you accept the cookie banner. Measures usage events (such as which tool is opened) to help us improve the product. Subject to Google's privacy policy.
- Cesium ion — Provides 3D terrain and imagery tiles for the globe tools. Your map interactions are sent to Cesium to render the imagery you see.
- MapTiler — Provides the place-search and some basemap tiles. Search queries you type are sent to MapTiler to return results.
What each is for
In short, we use these services only to:
- Understand which features are used (aggregate, cookie-less via Vercel Analytics).
- Measure conversions and tool usage after consent (Google Analytics 4).
- Render 3D globe imagery and terrain (Cesium ion).
- Resolve place names you search for (MapTiler).
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access or receive a copy of personal data an analytics provider holds about you.
- Request deletion of that data, subject to legal retention requirements.
- Opt out of analytics tracking by rejecting the cookie banner. Analytics scripts are not loaded until you accept.
Children
GIS Toolbox is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.
