In Short: Your Privacy Comes First
Our core principle is simple: **your data is your own**. Most of our tools run entirely in your web browser. This means **your files are never uploaded to our servers**. We don't require accounts, and we use privacy-friendly analytics that don't track you across the web.
Introduction
Welcome to NeatForge. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website (https://neatforge.com). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website.
Information We Do NOT Collect
The most important part of our privacy policy is what we *don't* do. For the vast majority of our tools:
- We do NOT upload your files. All processing for tools like image compression, PDF merging, etc., happens locally on your device within your browser. Your files never touch our servers.
- We do NOT store your data. Since files are not uploaded, we do not store them. Any data you work with remains on your computer.
- We do NOT require personal accounts. You can use all our tools without signing up or providing any personal information like your name or email address.
Information We Collect
We collect very minimal information, solely for the purposes of communication and site improvement.
- Contact Information: If you choose to contact us via our email address, we will collect your email address and the content of your message in order to respond to your inquiry.
- Analytics Data: We use a privacy-focused analytics service (such as Plausible or Umami) to understand website traffic. This service collects anonymous, aggregated data like which pages are visited and the type of device used. This data is not tied to your personal identity and does not use cookies.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We do not use cookies for tracking or analytics purposes. Our website is designed to be functional without them.
However, please be aware that in the future, we may display advertisements through third-party networks like **Google AdSense**. These services may use cookies to serve personalized ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use their services by visiting Google's partner sites policy.
Third-Party Services
We may use the following third-party services:
- Google AdSense: (As mentioned above) If and when we implement advertising, it will be served by Google.
- Hosting Providers: Our website is hosted on platforms like Vercel or Cloudflare. These providers may collect log data (such as your IP address) for security and operational purposes.
Your Data Rights
You have the right to request access to or deletion of the personal information we hold about you (for example, your email communications). To make such a request, please email us at [email protected].
Children's Privacy
Our services are not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
