The Hidden Cost of 'Free' Online Tools
In the age of cloud computing, it's easy to assume that every file you convert or every text you format needs to be sent to a remote server. But have you ever stopped to wonder where your data goes?
The Security Risk
When you upload a sensitive document to a standard PDF converter, you are essentially handing over your data to a third party. While many services are legitimate, others may store your files, analyze your metadata, or even sell your information to advertisers.
The ToolBox Difference
