Privacy Policy

Last updated: 21 June 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how themgdev (“themgdev”, “we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses and safeguards your information when you visit our website and use our tools (collectively, the “Service”). We are committed to protecting your privacy and designing our tools to collect as little personal data as possible. By using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.

1. The short version

  • Most of our tools run entirely in your browser. The files you process are never uploaded to us.
  • You can use most tools without an account.
  • We never sell your personal data.
  • We collect only what we need to run the Service, keep it secure, and improve it.

2. Who we are

themgdev is the data controller for personal data processed through the Service. For privacy questions or to exercise your rights, contact us via our contact page.

3. Files you process

The majority of our tools — including merging, splitting, compressing and converting files — run locally in your web browser. For these tools, your files are processed on your own device using your browser's processing power. The file contents are never transmitted to, seen by, or stored on our servers.

Some future tools may require server-side processing. Where that is the case, we will state it clearly on the relevant tool, transmit files over an encrypted connection, process them only to provide the requested result, and delete them automatically and promptly afterward. We do not use your files to train models or for any purpose other than performing the task you requested.

4. Information we collect

Information you provide:

  • Account data — if you create a free account: your email address, an optional display name, and a securely hashed password (we never store plain-text passwords).
  • Communications — messages you send us for support.

Information collected automatically:

  • Usage data — aggregated, anonymized counts of which tools are used, to enforce fair-use limits and prioritize improvements.
  • Device & log data — standard server logs such as IP address, browser type, and timestamps, used for security and abuse prevention.
  • Cookies & similar technologies — see Section 7.

5. How we use information

  • To provide, operate and maintain the Service and your account.
  • To enforce usage limits and detect, prevent and address abuse, fraud or security issues.
  • To respond to your requests and provide support.
  • To send essential account communications (for example password resets).
  • To analyze and improve the Service.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

6. Legal bases (EEA/UK users)

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on: performance of a contract (to provide the Service and your account); legitimate interests (to secure, maintain and improve the Service); consent (for non-essential cookies and marketing, where applicable); and legal obligation (to comply with applicable law).

7. Cookies & analytics

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and to keep the Service secure. With your consent where required, we may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate usage, and — where enabled — advertising partners who may set their own cookies. You can control or block cookies through your browser settings; disabling essential cookies may affect functionality.

8. How we share information

We do not sell your personal data. We share information only with:

  • Service providers who process data on our behalf under contract (for example hosting, database, and email-delivery providers).
  • Legal and safety recipients, where required by law or to protect rights, safety and the integrity of the Service.
  • Successors in connection with a merger, acquisition or asset sale, subject to this Policy.

9. International transfers

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

10. Data retention

We keep account data for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Service. Server logs are kept for a limited period for security. Files processed on a server (if any) are deleted promptly after processing. You may delete your account at any time, after which we delete or anonymize your personal data except where retention is required by law.

11. Security

We use technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including encryption in transit, hashed passwords, and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, and to withdraw consent. California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete and opt out of “sale”/“sharing” (we do not sell personal information). To exercise any right, contact us via our contact page. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.

13. Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

14. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. We will update the “last updated” date above and, for material changes, provide additional notice where appropriate.
