This Privacy Policy describes how The27LINKS ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and discloses information when you use our website the27links.in and the tools available on it (collectively, the "Service").

1. Information we collect

1.1 Information you provide

When you use our tools (such as PDF Merge, Image Compress, QR Generator, etc.), the files and text you work with are processed entirely within your browser. They are not uploaded to, stored on, or transmitted to our servers at any time. We cannot access them.

If you contact us via the contact form or email, we receive the name, email address and message you send us. We use that information to contact you.

1.2 Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting provider (GitHub Pages) may log standard server information such as your IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages and timestamps.

2. Cookies & advertising

We display advertisements served through Ads Agencies and self. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and other internet sites.

For details on how we use cookies, please read our Cookie Policy.

3. How we use information

We do not sell, rent or trade personal data to third parties.

4. Children's privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

5. Data retention

Messages you send us via email or the contact form are retained for as long as necessary to resolve your request and, where required, to comply with legal obligations.

6. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., GDPR in the EU, CCPA in California, DPDP Act in India), you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us via E-mail.

7. Security

All tool processing happens client-side, so your files are inherently private. The site itself is served over HTTPS. No method of electronic transmission is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new "last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
