Introduction and Scope of Policy

At QuickDropTools, the security and privacy of our users are paramount. This Privacy Policy details the types of information we collect, how we handle the files you process, and our policies regarding third-party service providers and advertising.

This policy applies to all services and tools offered on the QuickDropTools website.

Handling of User Files (Our Zero-Retention Policy)

We do not store, save, or retain any files you upload or process.

• Temporary Processing: All file conversion and processing is executed in a highly secure, temporary, and isolated server environment.
• Immediate Deletion: Files are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers immediately after the conversion process is complete and the download link is generated, or after a maximum period of 60 minutes to allow for uninterrupted download, whichever comes first.
• No Backup: We do not create backups or copies of your files. Once deleted, they cannot be recovered by us.

Personal Information Collection

QuickDropTools is designed to be used without the need for personal identification.

• No Account Creation: We do not require you to create an account, register, or provide us with your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information (PII) to use our tools.
• No Direct PII Collection: We do not directly collect any PII from your use of the conversion tools.

Data Collected Automatically (Log Files and Analytics)

Like most websites, we gather certain information automatically and store it in log files to manage the website and improve the user experience. This data is non-personal and includes:

• Usage Data: The type of tool used, time spent on each tool, and frequency of use.
• Technical Data: Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, and timestamps.

This data is used solely for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking user movement, and gathering broad demographic information for internal use. IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies to ensure the proper functioning of our website and services.

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with the services available through our website and to enable you to use some of its features (e.g., maintaining session state during file upload/download).
• Analytics Cookies: We use anonymized analytics services to understand how our service is being used. This information helps us improve our tools and user interface. These cookies do not collect PII.

Third-Party Advertising (Crucial for AdSense)

To keep QuickDropTools free for all users, we intend to use third-party advertising partners, such as Google AdSense.

Please note the following regarding advertising:

• Google AdSense: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (like the DART cookie) to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Opt-Out: Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy.
• Third-Party Links: Our website may contain links to external sites that are not operated by us. We have no control over the content and practices of these sites and cannot accept responsibility or liability for their respective privacy policies.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top.
