Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Hi! I'm Vinitha, the creator of ConvertFlash. I take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information I collect, how I use it, and your rights regarding your data. I've tried to keep it simple and easy to understand.

2. Information I Collect

Files You Upload

When you use ConvertFlash, you upload image files for conversion. These files are:

• Processed temporarily on our secure servers
• Automatically deleted within 1-24 hours (depending on usage tier)
• Never viewed, analyzed, or accessed by me personally
• Never shared with or sold to third parties

Technical Information

Like most websites, I automatically collect some technical information:

• IP Address: Used for rate limiting and abuse prevention
• Browser Type: Helps ensure compatibility
• Usage Data: Number of conversions, formats used (anonymized)

This information helps me improve the Service and prevent abuse. It's not used to personally identify you.

3. How I Use Your Information

I use the information collected to:

• Provide the image conversion service
• Prevent abuse and enforce usage limits
• Improve the Service based on usage patterns
• Fix bugs and technical issues
• Respond to your inquiries if you contact me

4. Data Storage & Security

I take security seriously:

• Encryption: All data is transmitted over HTTPS (TLS encryption)
• Secure Servers: Files are processed on secure, professionally managed servers
• Automatic Deletion: Files are automatically purged regularly
• Access Control: Only essential systems can access stored files

While I implement industry-standard security measures, no system is 100% secure. Please don't upload sensitive or confidential files.

5. Cookies

ConvertFlash uses the following types of cookies:

• Session Cookies: To track your conversion session (essential)
• Preference Cookies: To remember your settings (optional)
• Analytics Cookies: Set by Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to help understand how visitors use the site (e.g. pages visited, interactions). This data is anonymised and used solely to improve the service.

I do not use advertising or remarketing cookies. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Third-Party Services

ConvertFlash uses the following third-party services:

• Cloud Hosting: To store and process files securely
• CDN: To deliver the website quickly worldwide
• Google Analytics: To understand site traffic and usage patterns. Data is collected anonymously. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Microsoft Clarity: To analyse user behaviour and improve usability (heatmaps, session recordings). See Microsoft's Privacy Statement.

These services have their own privacy policies and are selected for their security and privacy practices.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Know what data I collect about you
• Request deletion of any personal data
• Opt out of non-essential cookies
• Contact me with privacy concerns

Since I collect minimal data and don't require accounts, there's usually very little personal information to manage.

8. Children's Privacy

ConvertFlash is not intended for children under 13. I don't knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact me so I can delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy occasionally. Changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date. For significant changes, I may provide more prominent notice.
