Short version: This is a free tool with no accounts. The invoices you create — including any logo and client details — are stored only in your own browser and are never uploaded to us. The only data collection on this site comes from Google AdSense, which uses cookies to show advertising. You can opt out of personalized ads at any time.
Who we are
The Free Invoice Generator (https://thefreeinvoicegenerator.com) is a free online tool operated by an independent team of developers. We built it as a genuinely useful, no-strings resource. We do not operate a business that collects, processes, or sells personal data.
What information we collect
This site does not collect personal information directly. There are no user accounts, no email sign-up, and no databases that store your information. Specifically:
No registration or login is required to use this site
No personal data (your name, your clients' details, addresses) is collected by us or sent to our servers
Invoice details you enter are processed entirely in your browser
Any logo image you upload is processed locally in your browser and never transmitted to us
Invoices and business profiles you choose to save are stored in your browser's local storage on your own device — not on our servers
Local storage
To let you save and reuse invoices without an account, this site uses your browser's local storage — a private storage area on your own device. Saved invoices, your business profile, and your invoice counter are kept there. This data never leaves your device, we cannot access it, and you can clear it any time through your browser settings or the tool's delete options.
