1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Photocopywala handles information when you use our public pages, online tools, blog guides, government-link pages, product references, ads, contact options and local-service information. Most public pages can be used without creating an account.
2. Information you provide directly
You may voluntarily provide information when contacting us, requesting support, sending feedback, asking for a correction, using a contact form, calling, emailing or messaging us. This may include your name, phone number, email address, message content, service requirement and any files or details you choose to share.
3. Files used in online tools
Many Photocopywala tools work on your device through the website. For tools such as Image to PDF, Merge PDF, Passport Photo Maker, QR Code Maker, Money Calculator and similar utilities, selected files or entered values are generally handled on your device unless a page clearly states otherwise. Avoid using sensitive files unless you are comfortable using the tool.
4. Generated files and local browser storage
Generated PDFs, images, QR codes, calculations, recent tool suggestions, preference choices, dismissed notices and temporary tool values may be stored or handled in your browser through local storage, session storage, object URLs, cookies or similar browser features. You can clear browser data from your browser settings.
5. Automatically collected technical information
Like most websites, we may receive technical information such as IP-related data, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location derived from network data, referring pages, visited pages, time spent, interactions, errors and general usage patterns. This helps us understand performance, fix issues and improve useful pages.
6. Cookies and similar technologies
We may use cookies, local storage or similar technologies for practical site behavior, preferences, analytics, security, advertising, affiliate measurement, performance improvement and remembering temporary choices. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some site features may not work as expected.
7. Analytics and performance measurement
We may use analytics tools to understand which pages, tools and links are useful. Analytics may measure page views, button clicks, tool starts, downloads, referrals, browser/device information and approximate usage patterns. Analytics data is used to improve the website and prioritise development.
8. Advertising and affiliate links
Photocopywala may show advertisements, house ads, sponsored suggestions, affiliate links or product references. Advertising or affiliate partners may use cookies or tracking technologies according to their own policies. If you click an affiliate or product link, the destination website may collect data independently from Photocopywala.
9. Third-party and government websites
Our pages may link to government portals, public-service websites, maps, WhatsApp, payment links, social platforms, product pages, APIs or other third-party services. Once you open an external website, that website's privacy policy and terms apply. We do not control third-party data collection, security or privacy practices.
10. How we use information
We may use information to operate the website, respond to support requests, improve tools and content, fix errors, understand traffic, prevent misuse, manage local-service requests, measure ad or affiliate performance, maintain security and comply with legal obligations.
11. Sharing of information
We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared with service providers, analytics providers, hosting providers, advertising or affiliate partners, technical support providers, legal authorities or others when necessary to operate the website, comply with law, prevent misuse or protect rights and safety.
12. Data security
We use reasonable measures to protect information, but no website, browser tool, internet transmission or storage method can be guaranteed fully secure. You should avoid uploading or sharing highly sensitive documents unless necessary and should verify external URLs before entering personal information.
13. Data retention
We keep information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose it was collected, including support, legal, operational, security, analytics or business needs. Browser-side data may remain on your device until you clear it or until the browser removes it.
14. Children's privacy
Photocopywala may be useful for students, but it is not intended to collect personal information from children without appropriate consent. If a parent, guardian or school believes a child has shared personal information with us, they may contact us for review.
15. Your choices
You can stop using the website, clear browser storage, disable cookies, avoid external links, choose not to contact us, or request review of information you directly shared with us. Some choices may limit how well tools or pages work.
16. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the website, tools, advertising, affiliate features or services change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised date.
