Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Compile Chicken ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our media conversion service, image media converter.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Files and Media

We do NOT collect, store, or upload your files. All file conversions are processed locally in your browser using WebAssembly technology. Your files never leave your device.

2.2 Personal Information

We may collect the following personal information:

• Email address (when you create an account or make a purchase)
• Payment information (processed securely through third-party payment processors)
• License key information (for premium features)

2.3 Usage Information

When analytics is configured, we may collect technical and usage information such as:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited and features used
• Time and date of visits

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Provide and maintain our service
• Process payments and deliver license keys
• Send important service updates and notifications
• Improve our service and user experience
• Respond to customer support requests
• Comply with legal obligations

4. Data Storage and Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your converted files are processed entirely in your browser and are never transmitted to our servers. Converted files and download history are saved locally in IndexedDB and can remain after you close the browser. You can delete converted files from the app's Downloads tab. Download important results separately; browser storage is not a guaranteed backup.

The app also saves settings, license details, and free-trial usage locally. Trial records contain reservation identifiers, counts, and timestamps, rather than image contents or filenames. Clearing site data through your browser removes these local records and cached app resources.

5. Browser Storage and Analytics

The website uses browser storage and may make external requests for:

• App functionality: Settings, locally saved license details, converted files, trial usage, and cached resources for offline use
• Google Analytics: When configured, page views and purchase-related events help us understand site usage. Google Analytics may use cookies and receive technical information about visits. Image files and locally stored conversion filenames are not sent by our analytics integration.

You can manage site storage and cookies in your browser settings. Removing app storage may remove your cached offline app, license activation, and download history. There is currently no cookie-preferences control within the website.

6. Third-Party Services

We use third-party services for:

• Payment Processing: Stripe (subject to their privacy policy)
• Email Delivery: For sending license keys and notifications
• Google Analytics: Website analytics when configured
• Google Fonts: Loading website fonts

These services have their own privacy policies and we encourage you to review them.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share information only:

• With your explicit consent
• To comply with legal obligations
• To protect our rights and safety
• With service providers who assist in operating our service

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access your personal information
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data (subject to legal requirements)
• Opt-out of marketing communications
• Withdraw consent for data processing

9. Children's Privacy

While our service is suitable for all ages, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
