Welcome to Tech Hippo. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect information when you visit our website at [Your Website URL] and use our free online tools, including image converters, PDF tools, image compression tools, SEO tools, and other utilities.
By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy. Where applicable law requires consent, we will obtain it separately.

You are not required to create an account to use our tools unless a particular feature specifies otherwise.
B. Files You Upload
Our website may provide tools for converting, compressing, cropping, or processing images and PDF documents.
When you upload a file, it may be processed by your browser or our servers, depending on how the particular tool works.
We do not intentionally use uploaded files for purposes unrelated to providing the requested service. However, file handling, temporary storage, and deletion depend on the tool’s implementation.
Please avoid uploading confidential, sensitive, or personal documents unless you are comfortable with the applicable processing method.

Our tools may process uploaded files locally in your browser or on our servers.
For browser-based processing, files may remain on your device unless the tool sends them elsewhere. For server-based processing, files may be transmitted to our servers or service providers for conversion or other requested operations.
Where applicable, temporary files may be retained for the time needed to complete processing and then deleted according to our retention practices.
We will describe any relevant storage or deletion practices where appropriate. Please do not assume that every tool processes files locally or that all uploaded files are deleted immediately unless this is confirmed for that tool.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Support essential website functionality.
- Remember user preferences.
- Measure website traffic and performance.
- Understand visitor interactions.
- Support advertising and measure advertising performance, where applicable.
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Some cookies may be necessary for certain website features to function correctly.

6. Analytics
We may use website analytics services to understand traffic, visitor behavior, and tool usage.
These services may collect technical information such as page views, device information, approximate location, and interactions with website features.
Analytics providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and the arrangements in place with us. We will identify relevant providers where appropriate.
7. Advertising and Third-Party Services
Our website may use third-party services, including hosting providers, security services, analytics platforms, advertising networks, and external APIs needed to operate particular tools.
These providers may process information necessary to perform their services, subject to applicable agreements and privacy requirements.
If we display advertising, third-party advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, personalize, or measure advertisements, subject to your choices and applicable law.
We do not control the privacy practices of independent third-party websites or services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before using them.

We do not sell personal information in exchange for money.
We may disclose information in the following circumstances:

- Security and protection: When reasonably necessary to investigate abuse, protect our rights, or help prevent fraud and security incidents.
- Business changes: In connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or transfer of business assets, subject to applicable law.
Some privacy laws define certain advertising-related disclosures or data sharing as “selling” or “sharing” personal information even when no money changes hands. Where applicable, we will honor relevant legal obligations and available privacy choices.
9. Data Retention and Security
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the purpose of processing, security requirements, and legal obligations.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no website, internet transmission, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
