Privacy Policy & Data Disclosures

1. Information We Collect

When you access https://elabelcropper.in, our servers automatically record standard web server log entries, including your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser user-agent string, operating system version, referring URL, and access timestamps. This technical information is used exclusively for systems administration, rate-limiting, and network security diagnostics.

We do not require user account registration, passwords, email signups, phone numbers, or billing profiles to use the core cropping tools.

2. Document Processing & Temporary File Storage

The privacy and confidentiality of your shipping manifests are paramount. Our application architecture is designed to minimize server-side data retention:

• In-Browser Parsing: PDF layout extraction and vector coordinate cropping calculations are executed directly within your client browser using JavaScript and HTML5 Canvas technologies.
• Encrypted UUID Storage: When a processed PDF is prepared for download, a temporary copy is saved on our server assigned a cryptographically random, non-sequential Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) (e.g., /crop/label/{uuid}/download). This allows you to preview the file and access it from your local download history.
• Strict 48-Hour Expiry: All temporary PDF files and associated crop log metadata are retained for a maximum window of 48 hours, after which our automated cleanup routine permanently deletes the files from storage.
• No Commercial Harvesting: We do not inspect, aggregate, index, share, or sell the contents of your invoices, customer addresses, or tracking numbers to any commercial third parties.

3. Cookies, Local Storage & Tracking Technologies

Our website uses local browser storage and standard HTTP cookies for the following operational purposes:

• Essential Functional Cookies: Session tokens and CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) protection tokens to safeguard your web requests.
• Browser LocalStorage: Used to maintain your recent 48-hour download history locally on your device so you can easily re-download recently processed labels without re-uploading.
• Preference Storage: Remembering your chosen marketplace preset (e.g., Flipkart, Meesho, or Amazon).

4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Disclosures

To keep E-Label Cropper completely free for e-commerce sellers without requiring subscription fees or paywalls, our website may display third-party advertisements served by Google AdSense and other advertising networks.

As required by Google's publisher policies, please be informed of the following:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites across the web.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's official Google Ads Settings.
• Alternatively, users can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative or aboutads.info.

Note: Third-party advertising networks do NOT have access to your uploaded PDF documents or processed shipping labels. Advertisements operate independently through standard web browser sandboxing.

5. Security Practices

We employ modern industry security protocols to protect data in transit and at rest:

• Full HTTPS/TLS encryption across all site interactions.
• UUID-based file endpoints with non-enumerable tokens preventing unauthorized crawling.
• Strict automated server cron jobs enforcing 48-hour permanent deletion of temporary files.

6. User Rights & Data Deletion Inquiries

Because we do not maintain persistent user profiles or account databases, most temporary data automatically expires within 48 hours. If you wish to request the immediate manual purge of a specific processed file or have questions regarding our privacy practices, you may submit a request to our data protection team:

7. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological adjustments, changes in applicable regulations, or updates to third-party advertising partner requirements. All updates will be published directly on this page with a revised "Last Updated" timestamp.
