Your Privacy Matters Here: Our Approach to Your Data

Hey there! We know privacy is a big deal, and it should be. You're trusting us when you use our pdf to markdown converter, and we take that trust seriously. This policy explains in plain English what information we collect (and more importantly, what we don't), how we use it, and how we keep things secure. Our goal is transparency and your peace of mind.

The Big Picture: We Don't Keep Your Files

Let's get the most important thing out of the way first:

• We DO NOT save the PDF files you upload. Seriously. They are processed in real-time for the conversion and then they're gone from our active systems shortly after.
• We DO NOT save the Markdown files generated from your PDFs. Once you edit and download your file, or close the session, we don't keep a copy.

Your document content remains yours and doesn't linger on our servers. Think of it like using a calculator – it performs the function but doesn't store every calculation you ever made.

What Information Do We Actually Collect?

It depends on how you use the service:

1. If You Use the Service Without Logging In (Anonymous Users):

• Simple: We collect nothing identifiable from you.
• You can convert up to 10 PDF pages freely without sharing any personal details like your email address. We don't know who you are, and we like it that way for anonymous use!

2. If You Create a Free Account & Log In (Logged-in Users):

To give you the benefit of unlimited conversions, we need a way to recognize you. In this case, we collect and store only the following minimal information:

• Your Email Address: This acts as your username so you can log in and manage your account (like resetting a password).
• PDF Filename (Optional Storage): We store just the name of the PDF files you process (e.g., "Chapter 1 Draft.pdf"). Why? So you might have a history of files processed (a potential future feature, maybe!). Again, we do not store the file itself.
• PDF Page Count: Just the number of pages in the processed PDF. This is basic metadata associated with the filename for your reference.

That's it. We don't ask for your name, address, phone number, or anything else. And just to repeat: we never store the content of your PDFs or Markdown files, even when you're logged in.

How Do We Use the Information We Collect?

We keep it focused:

• Your Email (Logged-in Users): Primarily for authentication (logging you in) and account management (like password resets). We might occasionally send crucial service updates, but we promise not to bombard your inbox with marketing spam.
• PDF Filename & Page Count (Logged-in Users): This is stored purely for your potential convenience, allowing you (or a future feature) to see a list of files you've processed. It helps track usage without storing sensitive content.

How We Protect Your Information

Protecting the minimal data we do hold (your email, filenames, page counts for logged-in users) is crucial.

• We use standard security measures, like HTTPS encryption for data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
• We implement reasonable safeguards to protect the database where account information is stored.
• However, the best protection for your document content is our core promise: we don't store it in the first place.

Cookies

Like most websites, we may use essential cookies to make the site function properly (like keeping you logged in during a session). We aim to avoid using cookies for extensive tracking.

Third Parties

We don't sell or rent your email address to third-party marketers. Period. We might use trusted third-party services for essential operations (like website hosting), but they are chosen carefully and have their own obligations regarding privacy.

Your Control

If you have created an account, you have the right to request access to or deletion of the personal information we hold (your email and associated file metadata). Please contact us using the information below to make such a request.

Changes to This Policy

The digital world evolves, so we might need to update this policy sometimes. If we make significant changes, we'll make it clear on our website. The "Last Updated" date at the top will always show you when revisions were made.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us to have it removed.
