Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
Your Privacy Matters
No Server Upload
All document processing happens locally in your browser. Your files never leave your computer.
No Tracking
We don't track your behavior, profile you, or sell your data to third parties.
No Data Storage
We don't store your documents, conversion history, or any personal content.
At TNDocTools, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Tamil document conversion and formatting services.
✓ Core Principle: Your documents are YOUR business.
We designed TNDocTools to process everything locally in your browser, ensuring your documents remain private and secure.
1. Information We Do NOT Collect
We do NOT collect, store, or have access to:
- Your documents or their contents
- File names or file metadata
- Converted text or output
- Encoding types you select
- Your conversion history
- Personal identification information from documents
- IP addresses or device identifiers
Why? All conversion and formatting happens entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. Your files are processed on your device and never transmitted to our servers.
2. Information We May Collect
Basic Analytics (Optional)
We may use privacy-focused analytics (like Plausible or Simple Analytics) to understand:
- Number of visitors to our website
- Which pages are most popular
- General geographic region (country level only)
- Browser and device type (for compatibility)
This data is anonymous, aggregated, and used only to improve our services.
Error Logs
If the service encounters technical errors, we may collect:
- Error messages (technical only, no document content)
- Browser type and version
- Timestamp of the error
This helps us fix bugs and improve reliability.
Contact Form Data
If you contact us through our Contact page, we collect:
- Email address you provide
- Message content
- Any attachments you voluntarily send
We use this information only to respond to your inquiry and delete it after resolution unless you request otherwise.
3. How Your Documents Are Processed
Step-by-Step Process:
- 1. You select a file or paste text in your browser
- 2. Your browser reads the file locally (no upload occurs)
- 3. JavaScript code in your browser performs the conversion
- 4. The result is displayed in your browser
- 5. You download the converted file directly from your browser
At no point in this process does your document or its contents leave your device or get transmitted over the internet. You can verify this by:
- Using browser developer tools to monitor network activity
- Disconnecting from the internet after the page loads (tools still work)
- Reviewing our open-source code (if available)
4. Cookies and Local Storage
TNDocTools may use browser local storage to:
- Remember your preferred encoding selections
- Save UI preferences (like simple vs. advanced mode)
- Store temporary conversion mappings for performance
Important: This storage is local to your browser only. It never leaves your device and you can clear it anytime through your browser settings.
We do NOT use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party cookies.
5. Third-Party Services
TNDocTools may use the following third-party services:
Web Hosting
Our website is hosted on secure servers. However, since all processing is client-side, the hosting provider has no access to your documents.
Analytics (Optional)
If enabled, we use privacy-focused analytics that don't track individuals or use cookies.
Content Delivery Network (CDN)
We may use a CDN to load fonts and libraries faster. These services don't have access to your documents.
6. Data Security
We take security seriously and implement the following measures:
- HTTPS encryption for all web traffic
- Client-side processing (no server-side document handling)
- Regular security updates to dependencies
- No database storing user documents or personal information
🔒 Your best protection: Documents never leave your device.
Since processing is local, even if our servers were compromised, your documents would remain safe on your device.
7. Your Privacy Rights
You have the right to:
- Know what data we collect (see sections above)
- Request deletion of any contact form submissions
- Opt out of analytics (use browser tracking protection)
- Clear your browser's local storage at any time
- Use the service without providing any personal information
Since we don't collect document data, there's no need to request deletion of conversion history - it never existed on our servers.
8. Children's Privacy
TNDocTools is designed for professional document writers and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Significant changes will be highlighted prominently.
We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
