Privacy Policy

1. Core Architecture: 100% Client-Side Processing

Microdeck operates on a strict Zero-Server Data Retention Policy:

• Local Execution: All calculations, image and video processing, PDF redacting, token counting, cron parsing, and schema transpiling take place solely inside your device's browser memory via WebAssembly, HTML5 Canvas, and JavaScript TypedArrays.
• No Server Uploads: Files, images, videos, PDF documents, SQL queries, code snippets, tokens, and passwords you paste or drag-and-drop into our tools are never transmitted to our servers or stored in any database.
• Ephemeral Memory: Closing or refreshing your browser tab immediately purges any temporary in-memory objects from your device's RAM.

2. Third-Party Advertising Partners & Google AdSense

To keep our micro-tools free and accessible without requiring subscription fees or account paywalls, we partner with third-party advertising vendors, including Google AdSense and contextual developer ad networks.

Please be informed of the following mandatory disclosures regarding third-party ad serving:

• Third-Party Vendor Cookies: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites on the Internet.
• DoubleClick DART & Advertising Cookies: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our visitors based on their visit to microdeck.tools and/or other sites across the World Wide Web.
• Contextual & Non-Personalized Serving: Depending on your jurisdiction and cookie preferences, ads served may be personalized based on your general browsing patterns or non-personalized (contextual to the tool category, e.g., developer software tools).

3. User Opt-Out Choices & Ad Preferences

You have the absolute right to control how advertising partners track and personalize advertisements for you:

• Google Ads Settings: You may opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ad Settings.
• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): You can opt out of interest-based advertising by visiting the NAI Opt-Out Tool.
• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): You can manage participation in digital ad tracking through the DAA WebChoices Browser Tool.
• European EDAA Opt-Out: Users residing in the European Economic Area may manage behavioral advertising choices via Your Online Choices.
• Browser Settings: You can configure your browser to reject all cookies or notify you when a cookie is being sent. Note that disabling cookies will not impair any of Microdeck's core computational tools.

4. Log Files & Anonymous Analytics

Like many static web applications, Microdeck utilizes standard web server log files and privacy-focused edge analytics (e.g., Cloudflare Web Analytics, Umami). These services record non-personally identifiable information, such as:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address (anonymized/truncated)
• Browser user-agent and operating system family
• Referring / exit pages and timestamp
• Aggregated page view counts and latency metrics

This data is used solely to administer the site, prevent malicious DDoS attacks, and optimize Core Web Vitals. It is never linked to personally identifiable information.

5. GDPR / UK GDPR Data Protection Rights

If you are an individual located within the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you are entitled to specific rights under the General Data Protection Regulation:

• The Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of any personal data held by Microdeck. (Because Microdeck stores no user accounts, databases, or tool-input logs on an application server, we do not retain personal dossiers; only standard edge/CDN HTTP request logs described in Section 4 may exist transiently at the hosting layer).
• The Right to Rectification: You have the right to request correction of inaccurate information.
• The Right to Erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data under certain conditions.
• The Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
• The Right to Object to Processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at privacy@microdeck.tools. We will respond within thirty (30) days.

6. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA & CPRA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California consumers are granted specific rights regarding their personal information:

• Right to Know: The categories and specific pieces of personal information collected.
• Right to Delete: The right to request the deletion of personal information collected.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: We do not sell user personal data in exchange for monetary consideration. However, under California law, sharing cookies with advertising networks may be considered a "sale" or "share". You can exercise your opt-out rights via our Cookie Preferences or by enabling Global Privacy Control (GPC) in your browser.
• Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA/CPRA rights.

7. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

Protecting the privacy of young children on the internet is critically important. Microdeck.tools does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided personal information on our website, please contact us immediately, and we will promptly remove such information from our records.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological changes, new tool rollouts, or evolving legal frameworks. Any revisions will be published immediately on this page with an updated "Effective Date".
