Privacy policy and GDPR compliance

Personal Information

The privacy of your data is very important to us which is why we do not collect or share with third parties your personal information.

Browsing DG Free Tool.co is free of charge. You don’t have to share any personal or sensitive information with us and you don't have to worry about the safeness of your privacy. We do journal some impersonalized data, like IP address, input and output file types, conversion duration, conversion success/error flag. This information is used for our internal performance monitoring, kept for a long time and not shared with third parties.

E-mail Addresses

You do not have to provide us your email address in order to use the DG Free Tool service.

You may use our service without disclosing your email address as long as you stay within free tier limits. If you hit the limit, you will be offered to complete a simple registration and order a premium service. We guarantee that your email address and any personal information will not be subject to sale or lease for personal or commercial purposes.

Certain Exceptional Disclosures

We can make the disclosure of your personal information only in cases stipulated by law or in a court order.

Disclosure of your personal information can be done to protect our legal rights or if the information is a potential threat to the physical safety of any person.

User’s Files Handling and Keeping

We do not read, look into or copy your files. You can delete your uploaded files yourself at any time.

We convert more than 10 million files (300 TB of data) every month. We delete input files and all temporary files instantly after any file conversion. We delete output files instantly when the user clicks 'X' in the web panel, otherwise, output files are deleted after 24 hours automatically. This implies that you can delete your files on your own anytime.

We can’t make a backup copy of your files even if you ask us to do so. To save a backup copy or all the contents of the file we need your user agreement. Your files are exclusively bound to your IP address. Only the user, who initiated the conversion, can download the result file.

Security

Be believe that security is the most important thing which is why we take all the possible measures to protect your files and personal data.

All communications between your host, our frontend server and conversion hosts are performed via secure channel with HSTS enabled, which prevents data to be altered or diverted. This completely protects your data from unauthorized access.

All collected information on the website is protected from disclosure and unauthorized access by using physical, electronic and managerial protection procedures. We keep your files in the European Union.

Your Rights

You can manage and modify your data in your profile if you have created one. You can delete your output files anytime.

You can delete your output files anytime by clicking on My Files on the top right and then clicking on the “X” icon on the right of the pane of a file you want to delete. Please note that they will be deleted anyway in 24 hours after conversion. We delete your input files right away.

You can delete your account easily on your own. This will delete your account and all associated data instantly.

This privacy policy explains in detail which data we collect and share. We do collect your IP address, access times, types of the files you convert and an average conversion error rate. We do not share this data with anyone.
