Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the amtake.com website and the free online tools we provide (collectively, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Service.

Information We Collect

We aim to collect as little personal information as possible. The information we handle falls into these categories:

• Files and inputs you process: For most tools, the files, text or values you provide are processed entirely within your browser and are never transmitted to us. For tools that require server-side processing, files are handled only to perform the requested operation and are then deleted (see “How Your Files Are Handled”).
• Usage and analytics data: We collect anonymous, aggregated information such as pages visited, tools used, approximate region, browser type, device type and referring website, to understand usage and improve the Service.
• Log data: Like most websites, our servers may automatically record standard log information, including IP address, browser type, and access times, for security and diagnostic purposes.
• Information you send us: If you contact us (for example, via our contact form or email), we retain your message and contact details to respond and improve our support.

How Your Files Are Handled

Privacy is central to how our tools are built. Wherever technically possible, processing happens locally in your browser, which means your files never reach our servers. For the limited set of tools that require server-side processing, uploaded files are transmitted over a secure, encrypted HTTPS connection, used solely to complete the requested task, and automatically deleted shortly afterward. We do not access, view, share or sell the contents of your files.

How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

• Operate, maintain and improve the Service and its tools;
• Understand how visitors use the Service through aggregated analytics;
• Detect, prevent and address technical issues, fraud and abuse;
• Respond to your inquiries and support requests;
• Display relevant advertising that helps keep the Service free.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) to remember your preferences (for example, your dark/light mode choice), measure site usage, and support advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings. For full details, please see our dedicated Cookie Policy.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We display advertisements to keep the Service free. These may be served by Google AdSense and other third-party advertising partners.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices.
• Third-party advertising networks may collect and use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements. This information is subject to those third parties’ own privacy policies.

Analytics

We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics or Google Site Kit) to help us understand how the Service is used. These services may set cookies and collect information such as your IP address (often anonymized), device and browser details, and pages visited. This data is used in aggregate to improve the Service.

Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data under the following legal bases: your consent (for example, for advertising cookies), our legitimate interests (such as operating and securing the Service and understanding usage), and compliance with legal obligations where applicable.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights over your personal data, including the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, and the right to data portability. If you are in the EEA/UK (GDPR) or California (CCPA/CPRA), you may also have the right to withdraw consent and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. Since we collect minimal personal data (primarily any email correspondence), most requests are straightforward. To exercise any right, contact us at support@amtake.com.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Processed files are deleted automatically after the requested operation. Analytics data is retained in aggregated form. Contact correspondence is kept only as long as needed to provide support and maintain records.

Children's Privacy

The Service is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

International Data Transfers

The Service may be operated from, and data processed in, countries other than the one in which you reside. Where information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is treated securely and in accordance with this policy.

Third-Party Links

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites and load open-source libraries from public content delivery networks (CDNs). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when the updated policy is posted on this page, and the “Last updated” date above reflects the latest revision. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
