Privacy Policy

Your privacy is fundamental to our engineering. This Privacy Policy details our 100% client-side data isolation architecture, cookie standards, and your statutory rights under global data protection laws.

1. Introduction & Ownership

Welcome to Harsh Cyber Cafe ("Platform", "Website", "we", "our", or "us"), accessible at https://harshcybercafe.com. Harsh Cyber Cafe is operated under the leadership of founder Harsh Raj, with its physical center established at Rangbhumi Chowk, Opposite Hotel Ranjana Palace, Purnia, Bihar 854301, India.

This Privacy Policy sets out the principles and security standards under which Harsh Cyber Cafe handles interactions, visitor log files, cookie preferences, and tool executions across our 172+ free productivity tools. If you have questions regarding this policy, contact our compliance desk at business@harshcybercafe.com.

2. Zero-Upload Architecture: Your Documents & Files

Conventional online multi-tools upload user files across the internet to remote cloud storage clusters, creating privacy and interception vulnerabilities. Harsh Cyber Cafe is architected on a 100% Client-Side Sandbox Model utilizing HTML5 Canvas, WebAssembly (Wasm), Web Workers, and local JavaScript:

• Zero Server Transmission: When you process PDF files (merging, splitting, compressing, or signing), format exam photos, create matrimonial biodatas, or build resumes, all binary operations run locally inside your web browser's random-access memory (RAM). Your files are never transmitted across network sockets to our servers.
• No Central File Storage: Because files never touch our servers, we do not—and technically cannot—view, inspect, archive, copy, or retain your personal photographs, bank statements, academic records, or legal documents.
• Local Discard: When you refresh the web page, navigate away, or close your browser tab, all memory allocated by your device to that operation is cleared by your operating system.

3. Information We Collect Automatically (Server Logs)

Like all modern web infrastructure providers, our web hosting servers automatically record standard HTTP request logs when you access our website. This technical metadata does not contain personally identifiable document payloads and includes:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address (masked where applicable)
• Browser user agent (type, version, and rendering engine)
• Operating system and device platform
• Date, time, and duration of requests
• Referring URLs and exiting pages
• HTTP status codes and data volume transferred

This information is utilized exclusively for server health monitoring, DDoS mitigation, spam detection, and optimizing server response latencies. Log files are purged on a rolling basis.

4. Information You Voluntarily Provide (Contact Channels)

When you contact us directly via our Contact Us portal, project inquiry forms, or official email (business@harshcybercafe.com), you may provide personal information such as:

• Your name and contact phone / WhatsApp number
• Your email address
• Project requirements, budget preferences, or technical feedback

We use this information exclusively to communicate with you, provide requested quotations, or resolve technical bug reports. We never sell, rent, monetize, or trade your contact details to third-party marketing brokers.

5. Cookies, Local Storage & Web Beacons

Harsh Cyber Cafe employs standard browser cookies and local storage technologies (`localStorage`) to enhance user navigation:

• Essential & Functional Storage: We use browser `localStorage` to remember your recently visited tools on the homepage and store your UI preferences (such as light/dark mode choices). These remain stored on your device and are never broadcast to remote endpoints.
• Analytics Cookies: Third-party analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) may set anonymized performance cookies to evaluate aggregate site traffic and identify broken links.
• Browser Controls: You can choose to disable, block, or delete cookies via your browser settings. Doing so will not restrict your ability to use any of our 172+ client-side conversion tools.

6. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense & DART Cookies)

To keep our 172+ digital tools free, we may partner with third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, to display advertisements across our site:

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve advertisements based on a user's prior visits to our website or other sites on the internet.
• These advertising partners may use web beacons and JavaScript to measure ad performance and personalize display content.
• Harsh Cyber Cafe has no access to or control over the tracking cookies placed by third-party ad networks.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or through the Network Advertising Initiative Opt-Out Page.

7. External Links & Third-Party Services

Our web pages may link to external websites, government job portals, educational resources, and social networks. When you click on an external link, you leave our platform. We have no control over and assume no liability for the content, privacy practices, or policies of third-party domains. We advise you to review the privacy policy of any external website you visit.
