Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how slatePDF (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use slatepdf.app (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

• Account information. If you create an account, we store your email address, your name (if provided), and a securely hashed password.
• Documents you create. If you are signed in, the documents you create are saved to our database so you can access them again. If you use the Service as a guest, your drafts are stored only in your own browser (local storage) and are not sent to our servers.
• Files you upload. If you upload a document for analysis, its contents may be processed to generate an editable template.
• Usage & device data. We and our providers may collect standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, for security, abuse prevention, and analytics.
• Cookies. See “Cookies and advertising” below.

How we use information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
• To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
• To prevent abuse and enforce rate limits.
• To display advertising that helps keep the Service free.

Cookies and advertising

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in. We also use third-party advertising to support the Service.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
• Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.

Third-party service providers

We rely on trusted third parties to operate the Service, which may process data on our behalf. Depending on features in use, these may include hosting, database, file storage, email delivery, document-analysis, and advertising providers (including Google AdSense). Each processes data under its own terms and privacy policy.

Data retention

We keep account and document data for as long as your account is active. Guest drafts live only in your browser and are removed when you clear your browser storage. You can delete your saved documents at any time.
