Privacy Policy

2.1 Client-Side Tools (Merge, Split, Image-to-PDF, Watermark, Lock/Unlock, Compress, Convert, Resize, Static QR)

We collect nothing about the files themselves. These tools run using client-side JavaScript and modern browser APIs directly on your device. Your files are never uploaded to Modifyle's servers, never stored, and never accessible to us.

2.2 Server-Side Heavy Processing (Ghostscript Compression, PDF-to-Word, Watermark Removal)

When you use credit-based heavy conversion features, your file is temporarily transmitted to our isolated worker service strictly to perform the requested operation:

• Files are written to ephemeral temporary disk space solely for the active duration of the conversion task.
• Temporary processing files and directories are deterministically deleted immediately upon response streaming completion or immediately if an error or cancellation occurs.
• We do not retain copies of your documents in persistent object storage or databases, and we never inspect, read, or use your document contents for any secondary purpose.

2.3 Account Data

If you create an account (for dynamic QR codes, vanity short links, credits, and subscriptions), we collect your email address and basic profile attributes provided by Google OAuth or Apple Sign-In. We use Supabase as our secure authentication and database provider.

2.4 Dynamic QR Codes & Telemetry

For each dynamic QR code or short link you create, we store: destination URL, styling preferences, and creation timestamp. When a visitor scans your QR code or clicks your link, our edge router logs aggregated analytics:

• Approximate country (derived via edge headers without storing raw visitor IP addresses).
• Device category (Mobile, Desktop, Tablet) and browser parsed via User-Agent headers.
• Referrer domain (where the click originated).
• For duplicate click detection and PWA install metrics, we use privacy-preserving daily-keyed HMAC hashes. We do not store raw visitor IP addresses in persistent telemetry logs.

2.5 Payment Data

Payments are processed by Dodo Payments, our global merchant of record. We never receive or store complete credit card or debit card numbers. We only retain subscription status, credit balances, masked IP addresses for fraud prevention, and transaction timestamps for your billing dashboard and statutory accounting.

2.6 Transactional Emails

We use Resend to deliver necessary account notifications (welcome messages, receipt confirmations, quota notices, and feature waitlist alerts). We do not send marketing newsletters without explicit opt-in.

2.7 Cookies & Session Management

We use strictly essential cookies and local storage tokens to maintain secure authentication sessions via Supabase SSR and privacy-preserving returning session metrics. We do not place third-party cross-site advertising or tracking cookies on your device.

2.8 Privacy-First Web Analytics (PostHog)

To measure platform health, identify popular file tools, and understand search discoveries without compromising user confidentiality, we use PostHog configured with strict privacy guardrails:

• Zero File Telemetry: File names, image pixels, PDF contents, and converted outputs are processed strictly in your browser and are never transmitted to analytics.
• Anonymous Visitors: We do not identify anonymous visitors with personal names or email addresses.
• No Session Replay / Keystrokes: Session recording and keystroke tracking are permanently disabled.
• Do Not Track (DNT): We automatically honor browser "Do Not Track" signals.

3.1 Local Image Processing

Modifyle Image Tools performs its image-processing operations locally in the user's browser. Images selected for processing are handled on the user's device using browser-based image-processing APIs. Images are not uploaded to Modifyle servers for the extension's image-processing operations, and the extension does not use a remote image-processing service.

3.2 Information We Do Not Collect Through the Extension

The current version of Modifyle Image Tools does not intentionally collect or transmit personally identifiable information, location information, browsing history, authentication credentials, financial or payment information, health information, personal communications, behavioral analytics, or image content to Modifyle servers.

The extension does not implement analytics or telemetry, including user or session tracking, country/source tracking, behavioral event tracking, or third-party analytics services.

3.3 Image Access and Browser Permissions

When a user explicitly invokes an image tool from the browser context menu, the extension may access the selected image from the active webpage so that the requested operation can be performed locally. This access is part of the requested functionality and is not used to monitor the user's browsing activity.

If a webpage prevents direct access to an image because of browser security or cross-origin restrictions, the extension may provide a user-initiated drag-and-drop or paste workflow. Images processed through these workflows remain processed locally in the browser.

The extension may use browser permissions such as context-menu access (contextMenus), active-tab access (activeTab), and local extension storage (storage) where required by its functionality. These permissions are used only to provide the extension's user-requested image tools and related local preferences.

3.4 Analytics and Tracking

Modifyle Image Tools does not currently implement application-level analytics, telemetry, behavioral tracking, advertising tracking, or user-identification systems.

The extension does not send installation events, image-processing events, user identifiers, country information, or browsing activity to Modifyle servers.

3.5 Browser Store Distribution

Modifyle Image Tools may be distributed through the Chrome Web Store, Microsoft Edge Add-ons, and Mozilla Firefox Add-ons. Each browser store may provide its own developer-facing installation, usage, or store statistics. Those statistics are provided by the respective browser-store platforms and are separate from analytics implemented by Modifyle.

3.6 Changes to This Extension Privacy Information

If the functionality, permissions, data practices, or tracking behavior of Modifyle Image Tools changes in the future, this privacy policy will be updated to accurately describe those changes.
