Privacy Policy for MKEdit

Welcome to MKEdit, accessible from https://mkedit.net. We are a platform dedicated to providing free, high-quality online tools for image editing, PDF management, and file conversion. We know that when you upload a personal photo or an important document, you are trusting us. That trust is the foundation of our website.

This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by MKEdit and how we use it. We have written this in plain English—not just legal jargon—because we want every user to understand their rights. Whether you are a student using our tools for a school project or a professional editor, your privacy is handled with the same high level of care.

2. Standard Consent
By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, we kindly ask you to stop using our services. However, we have designed our policies to be as fair and user-friendly as possible.

3. The Life and Death of Your Files (Our No-Storage Policy)
As a tool-based website, the most critical question is: "Where does my file go?"
The answer is simple: We do not store your files. When you upload an image to https://mkedit.net to resize it, our server processes it in real-time. Once the processing is complete and you have downloaded your file, it is automatically deleted from our temporary server cache. We do not keep backups, we do not look at your content, and we do not claim any ownership over your files. Your work remains 100% yours.

4. Information We Collect and Why
We don't ask you to sign up or give us your phone number. The only information we collect is:

• Log Files: Like all websites, we use log files. These include IP addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, and referring pages. This is not "spyware." It’s a standard way to see how much traffic the site gets and to stop hackers from attacking our server.

• Voluntary Communication: If you contact us at contact@mkedit.net, we will receive your name and email. We only use this to answer your questions.

5. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising
To keep our tools 100% free for everyone, we show advertisements. We partner with Google AdSense to serve these ads. Google is a third-party vendor and uses cookies to serve ads on https://mkedit.net.

One specific cookie Google uses is the DART cookie. This allows Google to show ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet. You have full control over this. If you don't want Google to use DART cookies, you can visit the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy at the following URL:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

We may also work with other ad networks. These third-party ad servers use technology in their respective advertisements and links that appear on MKEdit, which are sent directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and to personalize the advertising content that you see.

6. Cookies and Web Beacons
MKEdit uses "cookies" to store information about your preferences. This helps us optimize your experience. For example, a cookie might remember which tool you used last so we can make the site faster for you next time.
You can learn more about cookies and how to manage them at:
https://www.allaboutcookies.org/

7. Comprehensive CCPA Privacy Rights (Do Not Sell My Personal Information)
For our users in California, under the CCPA, you have specific rights. We want to be clear: We do not sell your personal information.
However, you still have the right to:

• Request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data we have collected.

• Request that we delete any personal data we have collected.

• Request that we do not sell your data (which we don't do anyway).
  If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@mkedit.net.

8. GDPR Data Protection Rights
For our visitors from the European Union, we are fully compliant with the GDPR. You are entitled to the following:

• The right to access: You can ask for copies of your personal data.

• The right to rectification: You can ask us to fix any info you think is wrong.

• The right to erasure: You can ask us to erase your personal data under certain conditions.

• The right to object to processing: You have the right to object to us processing your data.
  To exercise these rights, email us. We have one month to respond to you.

9. Why Our Site is Secure for Education Purpose
Many students and teachers use https://mkedit.net for educational content creation. We take this responsibility seriously. Our site uses SSL encryption (the green lock icon in your browser) to ensure that the data traveling between your computer and our server is encrypted and safe from prying eyes. This makes our tools ideal for school and office environments.

10. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to other sites (like Google, Facebook, or helpful blogs). Once you click those links and leave https://mkedit.net, we are no longer responsible for your privacy. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every site you visit. You can manage your third-party ad preferences at the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page:
http://optout.networkadvertising.org/

11. Children’s Information
Protecting children online is a major priority for us. MKEdit does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child has provided such information on our website, please contact us immediately, and we will remove it from our records. We encourage parents to monitor their children's internet usage.

12. User Experience and Analytics
To improve our tools, we use basic analytics. This helps us understand if our "Image Resizer" is working correctly or if our "PDF Converter" has an error. We look at "bounce rates" and "session duration." This data is aggregated and anonymous. It tells us how the "crowd" uses the site, not how "you" specifically use the site.

13. Updates to Our Policy
The digital world changes fast, and so might our policy. Whenever we update this page, we will change the "Last Updated" date. We recommend checking this page every few months to stay informed. Your continued use of https://mkedit.net after any changes means you accept the new policy.

14. Contacting the Human Behind the Site
We are not a faceless corporation. We are a team dedicated to helping you with your digital tasks. If you have any questions, concerns, or even suggestions on how to make our privacy better, please talk to us.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
