Privacy Policy

At LoveToConvert, accessible from lovetoconvert.com, one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by LoveToConvert and how we use it, specifically tailored to comply with standard global regulations including GDPR and CCPA.

1. Data Collection & File Security

We collect minimal personal information. When you use our tools to convert, merge, compress, or edit files, you remain the sole owner of your data. We utilize a hybrid processing approach:

• Client-Side Processing: Many of our tools (e.g., PDF merging, splitting, cryptographic hashing) run 100% locally within your browser. Your files never leave your device, ensuring absolute privacy.
• Server-Side Processing: For complex conversions requiring server resources (e.g., Office to PDF, heavy image conversions), your files are securely uploaded via encrypted SSL/TLS connections. Once processed, all uploaded and converted files are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers within 1 hour. We do not inspect, backup, or index your files.

2. Log Files

LoveToConvert follows a standard procedure of using log files. These files log visitors when they visit websites. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.
