How privacy and file handling work on Maotaw Tools

Browser-side processing

Some tools are designed to work locally in the browser. That means the main processing logic happens on the user side rather than as a server upload workflow. This is especially relevant for privacy-oriented pages such as Folder Encryptor and Image / PDF Locker.

Upload-based workflows

Other tools require the file to be submitted so the requested output can be generated. Examples include some image and PDF conversion pages. In those cases, the submitted file is handled for the purpose of producing the requested result and returning that output to the visitor.

Metadata and privacy cleanup

Pages such as Remove Image Metadata and PDF Metadata Cleaner are intended for people who want a cleaner version of a file before sharing it. They are useful when a file contains background information that is no longer needed.

What users should still check

• Review the downloaded result before sending it onward.
• Keep passwords safe when using encrypted file tools.
• Use the legal pages if you want the formal privacy and terms information.
• Do not rely on any single output file until you have verified that it opens correctly.
