Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Saveku ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website saveku.com, providing free online tools including converters, calculators, image generators, and a logo hub. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information We DO NOT Collect

We are committed to minimizing data collection. We do not collect:

• User Files: All file processing (images, documents) happens locally in your browser
• Personal Data: We do not collect names, emails, or other personally identifiable information
• Account Information: No registration or login required
• File Content: Your uploaded files never leave your device
• IP Addresses: We do not collect or store IP addresses ourselves

2.2 Information Collected by Third-Party Services

While we do not collect personal data ourselves, our third-party service providers may automatically collect:

• Ahrefs Analytics: Page views, referrer information, browser type, general location (city-level, derived from IP but not stored)
• Google AdSense: IP addresses, browsing behavior, cookie data, ad interactions
• Cloudflare (CDN): IP addresses, request headers for DDoS protection and routing
• Hetzner (VPS Host): Server logs may contain IP addresses and access data
• Usage Statistics: Pages visited, time spent on site, performance metrics

Note: We do not collect or store IP addresses ourselves. Our logo hub only tracks download counts and timestamps - no personally identifiable information.

2.3 Logo Hub Download Data

When you download logos from our Logo Hub, we collect minimal, anonymized data:

• Download Count: Total number of times each logo has been downloaded (aggregated)
• Last Download Timestamp: When a logo was last downloaded (for "Latest Downloads" feature)
• What We DO NOT Collect: We do not track who downloaded logos, IP addresses, user identities, or create download histories

This minimal tracking helps us understand which logos are popular and improve our collection, while maintaining your privacy.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the limited data collected by third-party services to:

• Improve website performance and user experience
• Understand which tools and logos are most useful to our users
• Identify and fix technical issues
• Display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense

• Comply with legal requirements

4. Local Data Processing (Conversion Tools)

Privacy by Design: Our conversion tools are built with privacy in mind.

• All file conversions and calculations happen entirely in your browser
• Your files and data never leave your device
• We cannot see or access your uploaded content
• Processing works even with slow or no internet connection
• You maintain full control and ownership of your data

Note: Logo downloads are served from our cloud storage (Cloudflare R2) and require an internet connection, but we only track anonymized download statistics as described in Section 2.3.
