Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Convertly Tools ("the Website," "we," "us") handles information when you visit and use our free online image and PDF tools. The Website is independently operated by Yash Bhaskar Shetty. By using this Website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy is written in plain language so you clearly understand what data is collected, how it is used, and what rights you have.

2. File Processing & Privacy

The core feature of Convertly Tools is browser-based file processing. All image compression, resizing, format conversion, and PDF creation operations are performed entirely within your web browser using JavaScript.

• Files are never uploaded to any server. Your files remain on your device at all times.
• No file data is stored, logged, or transmitted to us or any third party.
• Closing your browser tab or navigating away permanently removes all processed data from memory.
• This architecture means your files — including sensitive documents, personal photos, and business assets — are inherently private.

3. Data We Collect

We collect minimal data necessary to operate the Website:

• Analytics data: Anonymous, aggregated information including page views, tool usage frequency, referring URLs, browser type, and general geographic region (country level). This data does not identify individual users.
• Contact form submissions: If you use the contact form, we receive your name, email address, and the message you wrote. This is used only to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties.
• Cookies: We use cookies to support analytics and advertising services (see Sections 4 and 5). No personally identifiable information is stored in cookies by us directly.

4. Cookies & Analytics

Convertly Tools uses Google Analytics (or a privacy-respecting alternative) to collect anonymous statistics about how visitors use the Website. This helps us understand which tools are popular and how to improve the platform.

• Analytics cookies collect data in aggregate only. No individual user is identified.
• You may opt out of Google Analytics tracking at any time using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Most modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through browser settings. Blocking analytics cookies will not affect the functionality of any tool on this site.

5. Google AdSense & Advertising

This Website displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Website or other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it to serve ads based on your visits to this site and other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Google's Privacy Policy governs how Google uses data collected via AdSense. We have no control over and take no responsibility for Google's data practices.
• We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to advertisers or any other third party.

6. Third-Party Services

The Website may link to or embed content from third-party services (e.g., Google AdSense, Google Analytics). These services have their own independent privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of any third-party service. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with.

7. Children's Privacy

Convertly Tools is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through our contact form, please contact us so we can remove it.

8. Data Security

Because file processing is entirely browser-based, your files are protected from server-side breaches by design — they are never on our servers. For any minimal data we do handle (such as contact form submissions), we take reasonable precautions to protect it from unauthorised access, disclosure, or loss.

9. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in practices or applicable law. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised when changes are made. Continued use of the Website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
