Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 4, 2026

At MyDeskMate, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data and ensures that your documents remain secure.

1. Local Processing Guarantee

The core philosophy of MyDeskMate is Local Processing. This means:

• Your files are NEVER stored permanently on our external servers.
• All conversion processes are handled through secure, proprietary channel logic.
• Your sensitive data remains within your controlled environment throughout the process.

2. Data Collection

We do not collect any personal information or document data. Our service is designed to be anonymous and secure. We may collect anonymous usage statistics (such as the number of conversions) to improve our service, but no file content or personal identifiers are ever tracked.

3. Local Storage

We may use local storage in your browser to remember your preferences (such as your chosen theme or last used tool). This data stays on your machine and is not shared with us or any third party.

4. Third-Party Advertising & Google AdSense Policy

We use third-party advertising companies, including Google LLC, to serve advertisements when you visit our website. These companies may use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to collect non-personally identifiable information (such as your browser type, device type, time of visit) in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

• Google AdSense: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve ads on MyDeskMate based on a user's previous visits to our website and other sites across the internet.
• Personalized Ads Opt-Out: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at www.aboutads.info.
• Log Files: Like most standard web servers, our infrastructure utilizes log files. Information recorded includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, internet service provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps. This information is used strictly to analyze trends, administer the site, and maintain security.

5. GDPR & CCPA Compliance

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), users possess the right to data transparency, data erasure, and non-discrimination. Since MyDeskMate processes all user file operations via local client-side execution, we do not retain or sell personal consumer data to any data brokers.

6. Data Security

All network traffic across MyDeskMate is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3 / SSL). Since conversion operations take place in memory, your original and converted documents are completely discarded immediately upon download completion.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may periodically update our Privacy Policy to reflect technical or legal improvements. All updates will be published immediately on this page with an updated revision date.
