Privacy Policy & Client-Side Processing Disclosure

1. The 100% Client-Side Offline Processing Guarantee

At ExactCompress (https://exactcompress.com), privacy is not merely a policy—it is built into our core software architecture. Unlike conventional online file converters, we do not upload your images, signatures, marks, certificates, or personal applicant data to any server or cloud infrastructure.

When you drag, drop, or upload a photo or document into our workspace:

• All pixel transformations, resizing, canvas drawing, Name & Date stamps, and signature ink enhancements are executed in real time by your web browser's local JavaScript and HTML5 Canvas engine.
• The binary search compression algorithm and PDF 1.4 byte generation execute locally in your computer or smartphone's volatile RAM memory.
• No image files, binary blobs, biometric details, applicant names, or dates of birth are ever transmitted across the internet to our backend or any third-party storage.
• When you close or refresh your browser tab, the temporary object memory references (Blob URLs) are immediately released and permanently purged from your device.

2. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Disclosures

We use Google AdSense and third-party advertising partners to support and keep this precision compression tool 100% free for students and job seekers worldwide. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site:

• DoubleClick DART Cookie: Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Opt-Out Options: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
• Advertising cookies do not have access to, nor do they ever inspect, any photo, signature, or document processed in the workspace.

3. Analytics and Web Telemetry

To maintain server uptime, monitor edge performance via Cloudflare Workers Static Assets, and identify broken links, we may collect non-personally identifiable diagnostic metrics (such as aggregate HTTP request counts, browser type, referral URL, and country-level geographic region). We do not record IP addresses alongside any image processing actions.

4. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) & CCPA Compliance

Because our application processes all biometric records, photos, and signatures locally on your client machine and never collects, stores, or transfers your files to external databases, we inherently satisfy data minimization and privacy-by-design standards under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
