Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information DocuKaro (“we”, “us”) handles when you use https://docukaro.com, why, and the choices you have. Contact: docukaro@gmail.com.

1. Files you process with our tools

Our PDF and image tools run in your web browser. The files you select are read and processed on your own device and are not uploaded to our server.

Optional cloud conversion. The Office conversion tools (PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint and the reverse) also work in your browser by default. If we enable the optional cloud conversion engine to improve results, a file you submit to one of those tools is sent to our conversion provider, ConvertAPI, to be converted and returned to you. We do not keep a copy after the conversion is delivered; temporary files on our server are deleted automatically, normally within an hour. The provider handles the file under its own privacy terms.

2. Information we collect

• Account details (only if you register): name, e-mail address and a securely hashed password, plus the favourites and usage history linked to your account.
• Messages you send through the contact form: name, e-mail address and the message.
• Newsletter (if offered and you subscribe): your e-mail address.
• Usage statistics: daily page-view counts per page and counts of how often each tool is used. These counts are not linked to you.
• Google Analytics (when enabled, and only after you accept cookies): pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser, and four events — a tool was used, a tool reported an error, sign-up and sign-in. Tool events contain only the name of the tool. File names, file contents, signatures and anything you type into a tool are never sent.
• Technical and security data: our hosting provider's server logs record IP address, browser type and time of request. We also store IP addresses briefly to limit abusive request rates and protect login forms.

3. How we use information

To provide and secure the service, reply to messages, manage accounts, understand which tools are useful and show advertising. Where the GDPR applies, our legal bases are performance of a contract (accounts), legitimate interests (security, statistics, operating the site) and consent (non-essential cookies, personalised advertising and newsletters).

4. Cookies

We use a small number of first-party cookies and browser storage items for sign-in sessions, security, your light or dark theme choice and your cookie-banner choice. When Google Analytics or advertising is active, the cookie banner asks for your choice: statistics and advertising cookies are switched off until you press “Accept”, and you can change your choice at any time with the “Cookie settings” link in the footer. See the Cookie Policy for details.

5. Advertising and Google AdSense

We may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and its partners. In that case:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info or, in Europe, www.youronlinechoices.eu.
• Information on how Google uses data from sites that use its services is available at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Advertising providers may collect or receive information such as your IP address, device and browser details and cookie identifiers directly from your browser. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalised ads are shown, where required.

6. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers that help us run the site (web hosting, e-mail delivery, the optional conversion provider and advertising partners), when required by law, or to protect our rights and users.

7. Retention

Account data is kept until you delete your account or ask us to. Contact messages are kept for as long as needed to deal with your request and for our records. Rate-limit records expire within hours. Aggregated statistics contain no personal data.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal data, to object to or restrict processing and to withdraw consent. See GDPR & CCPA. To make a request, e-mail docukaro@gmail.com.

9. Security

We use HTTPS, hashed passwords, CSRF protection and rate limiting. No online service can be guaranteed completely secure.

10. Children

The site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

11. International visitors

Our servers and service providers may be located outside your country. By using the site you understand that information described in this policy may be processed there.

12. Changes

We will post any changes on this page and update the date shown with it.
