Information we collect

We collect the information needed to operate Convert and Store, including account details such as your name, email address, encrypted password credentials, subscription status, API keys, and service preferences. We also collect file metadata needed to process uploads safely, including file names, MIME types, sizes, timestamps, storage usage, and share-link states.

When you contact us, report abuse, request support, or submit billing questions, we store the information you provide so we can respond, document the request, and maintain a service history. Payment card details are processed by Stripe and are not stored on our servers as full card numbers.

How we use your information

  • To create and secure user accounts
  • To process conversions, store files, and deliver downloads
  • To provide public or private sharing features you intentionally enable
  • To manage subscriptions, invoices, fraud prevention, and service limits
  • To send transactional messages such as verification, password reset, billing, and service notices
  • To detect abuse, protect the platform, and enforce acceptable-use rules
  • To improve reliability, performance, and support workflows

File handling and storage

Files are processed to provide the services you request. Converted files may be stored in your account when you choose to keep them. Public shares remain under your control unless they are disabled, expire, or are removed for policy, legal, or safety reasons. We may retain limited operational records after deletion when reasonably required for fraud prevention, legal compliance, auditing, backups, or dispute handling.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar storage technologies for authentication, security, session continuity, rate limiting, and service preferences. We may also use limited analytics or performance tools to understand service quality and prevent abuse. You can read more in our Cookie Policy.

Sharing with service providers

We share information only with providers that help us operate the platform, such as hosting, email delivery, authentication, payment processing, and communications tools. Those providers may process information only as needed to perform their services for Convert and Store.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect account data, session integrity, billing workflows, stored files, and conversion activity. No service can promise absolute security, so you should also protect your password, devices, and any public share links you create.

Data retention

We keep information for as long as it is reasonably needed to provide the service, comply with law, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain backups or operational records. Retention periods may vary by file state, billing status, legal obligations, security events, or abuse investigations.

Your choices

You can update core account information from your profile, manage public sharing, revoke API keys, and request account deletion. If you need help with privacy-related requests, email convertandstore@gmail.com.

Children's privacy

Convert and Store is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children in a way that would require parental consent under applicable law.

Policy updates

We may update this Privacy Policy as the service evolves. When changes are material, we may update the effective date, publish revised language, or provide additional notice inside the product when appropriate.
