Pixel Press

1. The short version

2. What stays on your device

Files you work on. When you convert, compress, resize or crop a file, the work happens locally in your browser. The file is not sent to any server for this.

Storage / library (on this device). If you save files to the in-app Storage, they are kept in your browser's IndexedDB, in encrypted form. They stay on the device until you delete them or clear your browser data.

Small settings in your browser. The app saves a few preferences in your browser's local storage, such as your theme and display mode, fun/vibration preferences, custom categories, and your Storage PIN (if you set one). The PIN is stored only as a salted, hashed value, not as plain text.

Offline support. A service worker caches the app's own files so it can load faster and work with a weak connection. It does not cache your personal files.

Storage PIN. The optional PIN is a privacy screen for this device only. It hides the on-screen list. It is not encryption on its own. Your files are protected by the encryption described in section 4.

3. What can go to the cloud

Cloud features are optional and need you to sign in with Google.

Recent files and library entries. File names, categories and dates (such as issue and expiry dates) are encrypted in your browser before being saved to the database. The database stores unreadable ciphertext for them.

Biodata profiles. When you press Save in Biodata maker while signed in, the profile (details, photo and page images) is encrypted in your browser and stored in the database under your account. You can delete it from the same screen.

Uploaded files. The file is encrypted in your browser first. What reaches Cloudinary is encrypted data stored under a random ID. The ID contains no file name and no timestamp.

Deleting. When you delete a cloud file, the delete service checks that you are signed in and only allows you to remove files inside your own folder. The service holds the secret needed to remove the file, so that secret is never exposed in the app.

4. How your data is protected

What we cannot see: your file contents, file names, categories and dates, your passphrase, or your master code.

5. What is not hidden

Encryption protects your content, but some technical information is unavoidable:

6. Third-party services

Pixel Press relies on these services. Each has its own privacy policy.

We do not use advertising or analytics services.

7. Your choices and control

8. Data retention

9. Security limits

No system is perfectly secure. Your protection depends on a strong, unique passphrase and on keeping your master code somewhere safe (a password manager, or printed and stored securely). Anyone who has your passphrase or master code can open your encrypted files. Please do not share them.

10. Children

Pixel Press is not directed at children. Under Indian law, a person below 18 years is treated as a child. If you are under 18, please use the app only with the involvement of a parent or legal guardian, and do not sign in or use cloud features without their consent.

We do not knowingly collect personal data of children, and we do not track children or show them targeted advertising. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has signed in, contact us and we will delete the data.

11. Laws that apply

Pixel Press is operated from India. We aim to handle your personal data in line with the laws that apply to us, including:

Lawful basis. We process your data only for the purposes described in this policy: to run the app, to sign you in, and to sync and store the items you choose. Where consent is needed (for example, to sign in with Google or to upload a file), you give it by taking that action, and you can withdraw it at any time (see section 12).

We use your data only for the purpose you provided it for. We do not use it for advertising, profiling or sale.

12. Your rights

Under the DPDP Act and, where applicable, other laws, you can:

To use any of these rights, email us from the Google account you use with Pixel Press. We may need to confirm it is really you. We will reply as soon as we can, and within the period required by law.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Data Protection Board of India, after first using our grievance process.

13. Data breaches

If a security incident affects your personal data, we will:

Because your files and their details are encrypted in your browser, a breach of the cloud services alone should not expose their contents. Your Google account details and technical information listed in section 5 are not covered by that protection.

14. Legal requests

We may keep or share information only if we are required to do so by law, a court order or a valid request from a competent government authority. We cannot open your encrypted files or provide their contents, because we do not hold your passphrase or master code. We will not hand over data beyond what the law requires.

15. Users outside India and international transfers

The services we use (Google, Cloudinary, Cloudflare, Vercel) may store or process data on servers outside India. By using the cloud features, you understand that your data may be transferred to and processed in other countries, subject to the protections described in this policy and the laws that apply.

If you live in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, California or another region with its own privacy law, you may have additional rights, such as the right to object to processing or to receive a copy of your data. Contact us and we will handle your request in line with the law that applies to you.

16. Google user data

If you sign in with Google, Pixel Press receives only your basic profile (name, email, photo) and account ID. We use this only to sign you in and to keep your data separate from other users. We do not access your Google Drive, Gmail, contacts or any other Google data, and we do not share your Google data with anyone else. Pixel Press's use of information received from Google is limited to providing and improving the features described here.

17. Changes to this policy

If the app changes how it handles data, or when new legal requirements come into force, this policy will be updated and the "Last updated" date above will change. Material changes will be highlighted in the app where possible. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated policy.

18. Contact and grievance officer

For questions, rights requests, complaints or concerns about your data:

Grievance Officer: Prabhat Raghuvanshi
Email: 1997october27@gmail.com

We aim to acknowledge complaints within 48 hours and resolve them within 30 days, or within any shorter or longer period the law requires.

19. Governing law

This policy is governed by the laws of India. Any dispute relating to it is subject to the courts of India, without affecting any rights you have under mandatory laws of your own country.
