1. Introduction

Code Cultivation ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at codecultivation.com, including its blog and developer tools. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. By using Code Cultivation, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide:

• Name and email address, if you contact us or subscribe to our newsletter
• Files you upload to server-based tools (such as Compress PDF)

Automatically collected:

• Device and browser information, IP address
• Server logs recorded by our hosting provider

Text you enter into our browser-based tools (such as the URL, Base64, and HTML encoders and decoders) is processed on your device and is never sent to our servers.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To operate and improve the website and tools
• To process files you upload and return the result to you
• To respond to enquiries and send our newsletter (where you have opted in)
• To comply with legal and regulatory obligations
• To detect and prevent abuse or misuse

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your data. We share information only where necessary:

• Service providers — hosting partners (such as Microsoft Azure) that run our website and tools
• Legal obligations — when required by law or regulatory authority
• Business transfers — in the event of a merger or acquisition, with appropriate notice

5. Security

We protect your data with encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, and by processing data in your browser wherever possible. No system is completely secure — please notify us immediately of any suspected security issue.

6. Retention

Files uploaded to our tools are processed to produce your result and are not kept afterwards. Contact and newsletter details are retained until you ask us to delete them or unsubscribe. You may request deletion at any time, subject to legal obligations.

7. Your Rights

You may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@codecultivation.com. We will respond within 30 days.

8. Cookies

Code Cultivation does not use advertising or tracking cookies. We use only essential browser storage, such as remembering your light or dark theme preference. You can clear this through your browser settings.

9. Third-Party Services

Our website and blog may link to third-party services such as GitHub and LinkedIn. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those services. We encourage you to review their policies.

10. Children's Privacy

Code Cultivation is not intended for persons under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe we have, contact us immediately.
