Privacy Policy

Introduction

At PrintCrop, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle, process, and protect your data when you use our document cropping tools.

Our core principle is simple: Your files never leave your device. All document processing happens entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript.

How We Process Your Data

What Happens When You Upload a File:

• Your document is loaded into your browser's memory temporarily
• JavaScript libraries (Cropper.js, PDF.js) process the file locally
• The cropped/converted result is created in your browser
• You download the processed file directly to your device
• The temporary file is cleared from browser memory when you close the tab

What We DON'T Do:

• We do NOT upload your files to any server
• We do NOT store your documents or personal information
• We do NOT have access to your uploaded content
• We do NOT share your data with third parties
• We do NOT create user accounts or profiles

Information We Collect

Anonymous Usage Analytics

To improve our service, we may collect anonymous usage information such as:

• Number of documents processed (no content visible)
• Tool usage statistics (which features are used most)
• Browser type and version for compatibility
• General geographic region (country level only)

This data is completely anonymous and cannot be traced back to individual users.

Technical Information

We automatically collect certain technical information to ensure our service works properly:

• Browser cookies for basic functionality (like remembering preferences)
• Local storage for tool settings (with your permission)
• Error logs to fix technical issues (no personal content included)

Cookies and Local Storage

PrintCrop uses minimal cookies and local storage to enhance your experience:

Essential Cookies:

• Remember your tool preferences (like default crop ratios)
• Maintain session state during your visit
• Provide basic website functionality

Optional Cookies:

• Analytics cookies (you can opt-out)
• Preference cookies (you can control these)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features, but will not impact the core cropping functionality.

Third-Party Services

We use some third-party services to provide our functionality:

JavaScript Libraries:

• Cropper.js: For image cropping functionality
• PDF.js: For PDF processing (loaded from CDN)
• Font Awesome: For icons (loaded from CDN)
• Google Fonts: For typography (loaded from CDN)

These libraries are loaded from reputable CDNs and are widely used across the web. They do not have access to your document content - they only provide the tools for processing.

Data Security

Security Measures We Implement:

• HTTPS encryption for all website traffic
• Content Security Policy (CSP) headers
• Regular security audits of our code
• Use of reputable, well-maintained third-party libraries
• No server-side storage of user documents

What You Can Do to Stay Secure:

• Keep your browser updated to the latest version
• Use reputable antivirus software
• Clear your browser cache regularly if using shared devices
• Close browser tabs after processing sensitive documents

Your Rights

Your Rights Include:

• Right to Access: You always have access to your documents on your device
• Right to Delete: Documents are automatically deleted when you close your browser
• Right to Portability: Download your processed files in any format you choose
• Right to Object: You can disable analytics cookies at any time
