The most significant aspect of our privacy architecture is our Zero-Retention Policy for utility tools. When you use our PDF converters, image optimizers, or AI content checkers:

• Files are processed in ephemeral RAM memory only.
• Processed files are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers within 15 minutes of the task completion.
• We do not read, view, or mine the content of the files you upload for processing.

We collect two types of information to provide and improve our services:

A. Personal Information: We only collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us, such as your name and email address when you contact our support team or subscribe to our newsletter.
