Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

DLSlide ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at this domain. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling any data we collect with transparency and care.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

When you use our Service, you submit SlideShare presentation URLs. We process these URLs to retrieve and convert the presentation. We do not collect names, email addresses, passwords, or payment information unless you voluntarily contact us via the contact form.

If you use our contact form, we collect:

• Your name
• Your email address
• The content of your message

This information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and is not added to any marketing list.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit the Service, our servers automatically record standard web log data, including:

• IP address (anonymised after processing)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring URL
• Pages visited and time spent
• Date and time of access

This data is used solely for security monitoring, abuse prevention, and aggregate analytics. We do not use it to identify individual users.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

• Process URL submissions and deliver PDF downloads;
• Monitor and improve Service performance and reliability;
• Detect and prevent abuse, fraud, or Terms of Service violations;
• Respond to support enquiries submitted via the contact form;
• Compile anonymised, aggregate statistics about Service usage.

4. Data Retention

Submitted URLs and generated PDF files are stored temporarily in our processing queue and deleted automatically within 72 hours of processing. We do not maintain a permanent library of downloaded presentations.

Server log data is retained for up to 30 days for security and debugging purposes, then automatically deleted.

5. Cookies

We use only a minimal session cookie required for CSRF protection (a security measure that prevents cross-site request forgery attacks). This cookie contains no personal information and is deleted when you close your browser.

We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or third-party analytics cookies.

6. Third-Party Services

The Service uses the following third-party resources, which may set their own cookies or collect data:

• Bootstrap CDN (jsDelivr) — CSS and JavaScript delivery. See jsDelivr Privacy Policy.
• jQuery CDN (code.jquery.com) — JavaScript library delivery.

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising networks.

7. Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may disclose information only:

• To comply with a legal obligation, court order, or government request;
• To protect our rights, property, or safety, or those of our users;
• To trusted service providers who assist us in operating the Service, under strict confidentiality agreements.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you;
• Request correction of inaccurate data;
• Request deletion of your data;
• Object to or restrict certain processing;
• Data portability where applicable.

Since we collect minimal data and don't require accounts, most of these rights can be exercised by simply not using the Service. For specific requests, please contact us.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us immediately.

10. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. All data is transmitted over HTTPS encrypted connections.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
