Privacy Policy

Your privacy is our priority

Last Updated: January 2024

Introduction

At Free Digital Utilities, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our website and tools. The good news is: we collect minimal data and process everything locally in your browser.

Data Collection

What We Don't Collect

We are proud to say that we do NOT collect:

  • Personal information (name, email, address, etc.)
  • Files you process through our tools
  • Generated passwords or signatures
  • QR codes you create
  • Email addresses you generate
  • URLs you test for speed
  • Browsing history or behavior tracking
  • Location data

What We May Collect

We may collect minimal technical data for website functionality:

  • Analytics Data - Basic website usage statistics (if analytics are enabled) such as page views, but this is anonymized and aggregated
  • Theme Preference - Your dark/light mode preference stored locally in your browser (localStorage)
  • Cookies - Only essential cookies for website functionality, if any

How Our Tools Work

All our tools are designed with privacy in mind:

  • Client-Side Processing - All file conversions, signature generation, password creation, and QR code generation happen entirely in your browser using JavaScript
  • No Server Uploads - Your files, signatures, passwords, and other data never leave your device
  • No Account Required - You can use all tools without creating an account or providing any personal information
  • Local Storage Only - We only store your theme preference (dark/light mode) locally in your browser

Third-Party Services

External Services We Use

  • CDN Services - We use CDN services (jsDelivr, Cloudflare) to load JavaScript libraries. These services may collect standard web server logs.
  • Mailinator - For temporary email generation, we integrate with Mailinator. Please review their privacy policy for how they handle email data.
  • Proxy Services - For website speed checking, we use public proxy services. URLs you test may pass through these services.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party services if you have concerns.

Cookies and Local Storage

We use minimal browser storage:

  • Theme Preference - Stored in localStorage to remember your dark/light mode choice
  • No Tracking Cookies - We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies
  • Session Data - No session data is stored on our servers

You can clear your browser's localStorage and cookies at any time, which will reset your theme preference.

Data Security

Since we don't collect or store your personal data, there's minimal risk of data breaches. However, we implement security best practices:

  • HTTPS encryption for all website traffic
  • No server-side storage of user data
  • Regular security updates to our codebase
  • Client-side validation and processing

Children's Privacy

Our website is accessible to users of all ages. Since we don't collect personal information, we comply with children's privacy regulations. However, we recommend that children under 13 use our website with parental supervision.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Your Rights

Since we collect minimal data, you have the following rights:

  • Access - You can see what data we might have (which is essentially none)
  • Deletion - Clear your browser's localStorage to remove theme preferences
  • Opt-Out - You can disable JavaScript or use privacy-focused browsers
  • No Tracking - We don't track you, so there's nothing to opt out of
