🔒 Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

ApneSoftware ("we", "us", "our") operates apnesoftware.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our website and tools. We are committed to your privacy — our tools are designed to process files and data entirely in your browser, without sending them to our servers.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Files and Data You Process

We do not collect or store the files, documents, images, or text you process using our tools. All tool processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. PDFs, images, text, and other files you use with our tools are never transmitted to our servers.

2.2 Usage Analytics

We collect anonymized usage data to understand which tools are most used and to improve the website. This includes:

• Tool page visits (tool name, approximate timestamp)
• Browser type and version (from user-agent string)
• Country of origin (from IP geolocation — IP addresses are not stored)
• Referring page (how you found a tool)

This data is anonymized and aggregated. No personally identifiable information is stored in our analytics.

2.3 Tool Reviews

If you submit a tool review or rating, we store the rating (1–5 stars) and comment text. Reviews are anonymous — we do not collect your name or email for reviews unless you choose to include them in your comment text.

3. Cookies

We use minimal cookies:

• Session functionality: No login cookies (no accounts required)
• Analytics: We may use a first-party cookie to distinguish repeat visitors for analytics purposes. This cookie does not track personal data.
• Preferences: We may store tool preferences (e.g., last used settings) in your browser's localStorage. This data stays on your device and is never sent to us.

We do not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party tracking services. Our analytics are self-hosted.

5. Data Security

Since we do not collect files or personal data, the main security consideration is our website itself. We use HTTPS (TLS encryption) for all communications. Our server is hosted on Hostinger Cloud with security hardening and regular updates.

6. Children's Privacy

Our website is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. Our tools (calculators, PDF tools, text tools) are educational and utility tools appropriate for all ages.

7. Your Rights

Under applicable privacy laws, you have the right to:

• Access any personal data we hold about you
• Request deletion of your data
• Opt out of analytics tracking

Since we collect minimal data, most users have essentially no personal data stored with us. To make a request, email privacy@apnesoftware.com.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
