Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Maskr is operated by Venin Pty Ltd (ABN 45 930 728 600) ("we", "us", "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use Maskr, a free online privacy toolkit for processing images, PDFs, and text.

2. Our Privacy-First Approach

Maskr is designed with privacy as its core principle. Unlike most online tools, we process your files entirely in your web browser (client-side) by default. This means:

• Your files are never uploaded to our servers unless you explicitly consent
• We cannot see, access, or store the content you process
• Processing happens on your device using your browser's computing power
• Files remain on your device at all times

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information We Do NOT Collect

• Files you upload or process (images, PDFs, text)
• Content of your files or the results of processing
• Personal information (no accounts required)
• Payment information (service is free)

3.2 Information We May Collect

We may collect minimal, anonymized technical data to maintain and improve the service:

• Aggregated usage statistics (e.g., which tools are most popular)
• Error reports to fix bugs (no personal data included)
• Basic analytics via privacy-respecting methods

4. Server-Side Processing (Optional)

Some advanced features may require server-side processing for performance reasons. If we implement such features:

• You will be clearly notified before any file is uploaded
• Explicit consent will be required
• Files will be processed and immediately deleted
• No files will be stored or retained on our servers

5. Third-Party Services

Maskr may use the following third-party services:

• Hosting: Our website is hosted on infrastructure that may log basic access information (IP addresses, timestamps)
• CDN: Content delivery networks to serve static assets efficiently
• Advertising: We may display ads to support the free service. Ad providers may use cookies as described in their privacy policies

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

6. Cookies

We use minimal cookies for:

• Essential site functionality
• Remembering your preferences (e.g., tool settings)
• Third-party advertising (if applicable)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some functionality.

7. Data Security

Since your files are processed locally in your browser, your data security is primarily in your hands. We recommend:

• Using Maskr on a secure, private network
• Keeping your browser and operating system updated
• Clearing your browser cache after processing sensitive files

8. Your Rights

Under Australian privacy law, you have the right to:

• Know what personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of any inaccurate information
• Lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner

Since we collect minimal personal information, there is typically nothing to access or correct.

9. Children's Privacy

Maskr is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

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. Continued use of Maskr after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
