Privacy policy

This policy explains what data may be processed when you visit MarkdownItTools or use our service to convert files and web pages to Markdown. The service does not require you to create an account.

Who operates the service and how to contact us

MarkdownItTools is the name of this service. For questions about this policy or to make a request concerning your data, email [email protected].

Data we process and why

• Files: when you request a conversion, we receive the file name and contents to process it and return the result. The content is used to provide the conversion; the service does not offer permanent file storage.
• URLs: if you request conversion of a public URL, we receive the address you submit and our server accesses the specified resource to retrieve and convert its content.
• Technical data: when you load pages or send requests, the site and its infrastructure providers may process technical data such as your IP address, browser information, requested pages, and request dates and times. This data is used to deliver the site, maintain security, and diagnose technical problems.
• Analytics: Google Analytics may receive cookieless measurement signals even if you reject analytics, for aggregated statistics and modeling. These requests may include technical data such as browser, screen resolution, and IP address. If you allow analytics, it may also use analytics storage. Converter events may include the document format category, method, and outcome, but not file names, submitted URLs, or document contents.

Why we process data

We process the file or URL you submit to provide the conversion you request. Technical data is used to operate and protect the site. Google Analytics receives limited cookieless signals if you reject analytics, and may use analytics storage if you allow it, to understand site traffic and general converter usage.

Files, URLs, and retention

Files are processed temporarily to complete your request; the server may use temporary storage during this process. The service is not designed to retain uploaded files or results as permanent storage. If you include personal information in a file or URL, that information will be processed to provide the conversion. Do not submit sensitive information you do not wish to share.

Technical data and records that may be generated by infrastructure, or analytics providers are retained under their own policies and settings. We do not state a specific retention period here because it depends on the providers and current operational settings.

Cookies and analytics

Google Analytics loads to send cookieless signals even if you reject analytics; those signals may include technical data such as browser, screen resolution, and IP address, and are used for aggregated measurement and modeling. If you allow analytics, it may also use analytics storage. You can change your choice at any time using Analytics settings in the footer. Google may use cookies or identifiers to measure visits and activity on the site. Read the Google Privacy Policy.

Service providers

The production configuration uses Cloudflare as a proxy. In that role, Cloudflare may process technical connection information to deliver and protect site traffic. Read the Cloudflare Privacy Policy. Google provides the analytics features described above and may process data under its policies.

Your choices and rights

You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies; some third-party some site features may be affected. You can change your analytics choice using the preferences link in the footer. Depending on the laws that apply to you, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, objection to, or restriction of processing of your data. To make a request, email [email protected]. You may also lodge a complaint with the data protection authority competent in your place of residence.
