Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to GS DocSeva ("https://gsdocseva.com", "we," "us," or "our"). We provide free online document utilities including photo resizing, signature scanning, PDF compression, and image format conversion. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, use, protect, and handle your information when you visit our website.

By accessing or using GS DocSeva, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please refrain from using our platform.

2. Browser Processing (Zero Server Storage)

We do not upload, transmit, store, or copy your personal documents to any cloud server or database. When you select or drop a file onto GS DocSeva:

• Your file remains on your local hardware device (smartphone, tablet, or desktop).
• All cropping, resizing, background cleaning, and format conversions execute locally.
• Once you close or refresh your browser tab, all temporary browser memory buffers are instantly purged.

3. Information We Collect

a) Personal Information You Provide

Because our tools operate locally in your browser, we do not require user accounts, registration, passwords, or login details. We only receive personal data if you voluntarily reach out to us via email (e.g., support or feedback queries at gsdocseva@gmail.com).

b) Automated Technical Data

Like most standard websites, our server logs and analytics partners automatically record non-personally identifiable technical information, including:

• IP address (anonymized/hashed where applicable).
• Browser type, language, and operating system.
• Referring URLs, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and timestamps.
• Device hardware metrics (e.g., mobile vs. desktop viewports).

4. Cookies Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your web browser. GS DocSeva uses cookies for the following operational reasons:

• Essential Cookies: Required for site navigation and storing user interface preferences (such as Dark/Light theme toggles).
• Analytics Cookies: Help us measure web traffic patterns and feature usage.
• Advertising Cookies: Used by Google AdSense and third-party ad networks to serve relevant advertisements based on your browsing visits.

You can choose to disable or selectively turn off cookies in your browser settings. However, doing so may affect how you interact with our site and other web portals.

5. Google AdSense & Third-Party Ads

GS DocSeva uses Google AdSense to display advertisements that support our free service. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this or other websites.

a) DoubleClick DART Cookies

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to GS DocSeva and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.

b) Third-Party Ad Networks

Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology in their advertisements that appear on GS DocSeva. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. Other technologies (such as cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons) may also be used to measure advertising effectiveness and personalize ad content.

GS DocSeva has no access to or control over cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.

6. Analytics (Google Analytics & Tag Manager)

We use web analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to aggregate statistics about traffic trends, popular tools, and site performance. These analytics services do not collect personal file data from your document conversions.

You can prevent your data from being used by Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

7. GDPR Compliance (EU/EEA Data Protection Rights)

• Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Right to Object/Restrict: You have the right to object to or restrict our processing of your data.

Since we do not store document files or maintain user accounts, no personal files exist on our servers for deletion. For any communication data requests, please contact us at gsdocseva@gmail.com.

8. CCPA / CPRA Compliance (California Consumer Privacy Rights)

• Support Emails: Emails sent to gsdocseva@gmail.com are retained only as long as necessary to answer your inquiry.
• Analytics Logs: Server and traffic logs are retained in anonymized format according to Google Analytics settings.

10. Children's Privacy (COPPA)
