Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Softechonline.in ("we," "our," or "us"). We provide free browser-based productivity utilities, network diagnostics, formatters, and audio streaming tools. We recognize that privacy is a fundamental right, and this Privacy Policy outlines how information is handled when you visit our website.

By accessing or using Softechonline.in, you consent to the data practices described in this document. If you do not agree with this policy, please discontinue use of our site.

2. Zero-Retention Client-Side Architecture

Unlike traditional web utilities that upload your files to remote cloud servers for processing, Softechonline.in executes operations directly on your device utilizing standard browser APIs:

• High-Res Image Compressor: Image decoding and compression run entirely inside your browser's HTML5 Canvas memory. No image ever leaves your computer or phone.
• Strong Password Generator: Uses the cryptographically secure window.crypto.getRandomValues() API natively on your device. Generated passwords are never transmitted or logged.
• JSON Formatter & Base64 Converter: All parsing and serialization execute within your browser's V8 or JavaScript runtime environment.
• QR Code Generator: Generates vector matrices directly in the client document Object Model (DOM).

3. Cookies and Advertising Partners (Google AdSense)

We may use third-party advertising partners, notably Google AdSense, to serve advertisements when you visit our website.

Google and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to Softechonline.in and other websites on the internet:

• Google's Use of Advertising Cookies: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• DoubleClick DART Cookie: The DoubleClick cookie is used by Google in the ads served on publisher websites displaying AdSense ads or participating in Google certified ad networks.
• Opting Out of Personalized Advertising: You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

4. Web Server Logs and Diagnostic Information

Like almost all web servers, our hosting infrastructure automatically logs standard HTTP access requests when you view our pages. These logs may contain:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address
• Browser type and version
• Operating system platform
• Referring / exit pages and timestamps
• Pages requested on our domain

This information is aggregated to monitor server uptime, prevent DDoS attacks, maintain infrastructure security, and diagnose technical faults. Server logs are periodically purged.

5. Local Storage (Web Storage API)

We use your browser's localStorage solely to remember your user interface preferences, specifically:

• Your chosen color theme (Dark Mode vs. Light Mode via softech_theme).
• Temporary local tool state if you explicitly choose to preserve it during an active session.

Local storage data remains on your physical device and is never synchronized to an external database. You can clear this data at any time via your browser settings.

6. Third-Party Links & External Streaming Services

Our website provides access to live digital radio streams and links to third-party services. Please be aware that when you listen to external audio streams or follow outbound links, you are subject to the privacy practices and audio hosting policies of those respective third-party providers. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

7. User Rights Under GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you are entitled to certain rights regarding your personal data:

• The Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
• The Right to Rectification: You have the right to request correction of inaccurate data.
• The Right to Erasure: You have the right to request deletion of your personal data under certain conditions.
• The Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request limitation of the processing of your data.

Because we do not maintain accounts or collect personal identities, we do not store identifiable personal profiles. For any privacy queries, contact us at the address below.

8. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) Rights

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have specific rights regarding personal information:

• The right to know what categories of personal data are collected.
• The right to request deletion of personal information.
• The right to opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal data. Softechonline.in does not sell personal user information.

9. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

Protecting the privacy of young children is especially critical. Softechonline.in does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to our site, please contact us immediately, and we will take prompt steps to remove such information.

10. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technical enhancements, policy amendments, or regulatory changes. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with an updated "Last Updated" revision date.
