Privacy Policy

Effective Date: April 1, 2024

1. Introduction

Welcome to ZyloTech Creators Studio ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our free online tools and services (collectively, the "Services").

Important: All our tools are designed to work entirely within your web browser. This means your files, images, audio, video, and any other data you process never leave your device. We do not have servers that receive or store your content.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 No File Uploads or Processing on Servers

All conversions, edits, and processing happen locally in your browser using JavaScript and Web APIs. We do not:

• Upload your files to any server
• Store your images, audio, video, or documents
• Process your data on our backend
• Access your files after you close the browser tab

2.2 Local Storage (Browser Storage)

Our tools may use your browser's localStorage to save:

• Your preferences (e.g., last used format, quality settings)
• Your conversion counter (to show you how many conversions you've done)
• Your saved color palettes (so they persist when you refresh the page)

Note: All this data stays on your device. We cannot access your localStorage data.

2.3 Anonymous Usage Statistics

We may use third-party analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to collect anonymous usage statistics such as:

• Which pages/tools are visited most frequently
• Approximate geographic location (country/city level only)
• Browser type and device information
• Time spent on each tool

This data is completely anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally. You can opt out of analytics by using browser extensions or ad blockers.

2.4 Donations

When you make a donation through our payment processor (Paystack or similar), we do NOT collect or store your payment information. The payment processor handles all payment data according to their own privacy policies. We only receive confirmation that a donation was made.

3. How We Use Your Information

Since we don't collect your files or personal data, our use of information is extremely limited:

• Local Storage Preferences: To remember your settings between visits.
• Anonymous Analytics: To understand which tools are most popular and improve our services.
• Donation Records: To acknowledge and thank our supporters (no personal details are stored).

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use minimal cookies. Our tools do NOT require cookies to function. However:

• Analytics tools may use cookies to track anonymous usage.
• You can disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting tool functionality.

5. Third-Party Services

Our tools load libraries and resources from third-party CDNs (Content Delivery Networks) such as:

• Tailwind CSS (styling)
• FontAwesome (icons)
• js-yaml, lamejs, gif.js, pdf.js, mammoth.js (conversion libraries)
• Paystack (payment processing for donations)

These third parties may collect data according to their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing their policies.

6. Data Security

Because your files never leave your browser, your data is as secure as your own device. We recommend:

• Keeping your browser updated
• Using reputable antivirus software
• Not processing sensitive or confidential files if you have concerns

7. Children's Privacy

Our Services are available to users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal data, there is no risk of unauthorized collection.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., EU, California), you may have rights regarding your data. Since we don't collect personal data, these rights are automatically satisfied. You can:

• Clear your browser's localStorage at any time (this will reset your preferences and counter)
• Use incognito/private browsing mode to prevent any local storage
• Disable JavaScript entirely (though tools will not function)

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
