Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Overview

Welcome to srtconverters.info (“we”, “our”, or “the website”). We provide free, high-performance, browser-based conversion utilities for SubRip (.srt) and text documents.

We are committed to operating with complete transparency, maintaining the highest standard of user privacy, and ensuring you understand exactly how our tools function, what data is processed, and how advertising partners operate on our site.

2. Browser-Based Processing & File Privacy

Unlike traditional web converters that require sending your documents over the internet to cloud servers, srtconverters.info uses client-side JavaScript execution:

• Zero File Uploads: When you select or drag a .srt or .txt file, or paste text into our editors, the data is read directly into your device’s local browser memory using standard HTML5 File APIs and FileReader.
• No Server Access: File contents, transcripts, audio dialogue, and translated texts never reach our web servers, database systems, or any third-party computing infrastructure.
• No Storage or Logging: Because we never receive your files, we cannot inspect, analyze, copy, or store your content.
• Offline Functionality: After the page assets are initially loaded in your browser, the conversion algorithms can execute without an active internet connection.

3. What Information We Collect

A. Information Collected Automatically (Server Logs)

When you access our website, our hosting web servers automatically log basic technical communication data commonly recorded across the internet. This information may include:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address (used for security filtering and network routing)
• Browser type, language, and operating system
• Referring website address and pages visited on our site
• Date, time, and duration of requests

These server logs are used exclusively for diagnosing server issues, maintaining network integrity, preventing automated denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and analyzing aggregate website performance. Server logs are not linked to individual identities and are purged periodically.

B. Information You Provide Voluntarily

We do not require user accounts, logins, passwords, or payment information to use any part of this website. The only personal information we ever receive is information you choose to provide voluntarily if you contact us via our Contact page (such as your name, email address, and message).

We use this communication information solely to respond to your inquiry and provide assistance. We do not use contact details for marketing lists, nor do we sell or rent them to third parties.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

Local Storage (localStorage)

Our website uses standard browser localStorage solely to remember your UI preference between visits:

• Theme Preference: Storing whether you selected Dark Mode or Light Mode (key: theme).

This preference information is saved only on your local device and is never transmitted to our servers.

Cookies

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a web server. We may use essential functional cookies for site performance. In addition, third-party partners (such as advertising networks) place cookies on your browser as described in the advertising section below.

5. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

To keep our tools free for everyone without subscriptions or paywalls, we display advertising through Google AdSense and authorized third-party ad networks.

Google AdSense complies with strict advertising standards. In accordance with Google’s policies, please review the following disclosures regarding how advertising partners use data:

• Third-Party Vendors: Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.
• Advertising Cookies: Google’s use of advertising cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites across the web.
• Ad Personalization: Depending on your location and consent settings, ads displayed may be personalized based on your interests or non-personalized based on page context.

6. Personalized Advertising Opt-Out & User Choices

You have full control over your advertising preferences and cookie choices:

• Google Ad Settings: You can opt out of personalized advertising by Google by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): You can opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting the NAI Consumer Opt-Out Page.
• Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA): You can manage interest-based advertising choices via the DAA WebChoices Tool.
• European Users (EDAA): Visitors residing in the European Economic Area can manage preferences at Your Online Choices.
• Browser Settings: You can configure your browser to block third-party cookies, clear existing cookies, or alert you before a cookie is stored. Please note that disabling cookies may affect certain web features.

7. Analytics & Performance Tracking

We may analyze aggregate, non-personal metrics (such as total page impressions, geographic region, device screen sizes, and browser versions) to optimize our user interface, improve mobile responsiveness, and ensure our client-side tools run smoothly across all platforms. We do not use invasive profiling or tracking techniques that compromise user identity.

8. Data Storage & Retention

Our data retention guidelines are straightforward:

• User Files & Content: Retention period is zero (0 seconds). Content never enters our servers or storage systems.
• Contact Messages: Retained only for as long as necessary to address your feedback, answer support questions, or satisfy legal records.
• Server Access Logs: Retained for a limited duration (typically between 30 and 90 days) for security diagnostics before automated deletion.

9. Third-Party Links & External Services

Our website may occasionally contain links to external websites, documentation, or educational resources (for example, video editing software guides or standard subtitle syntax specifications). We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices, cookie policies, or content of third-party websites. We encourage you to inspect the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.

10. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Protecting the privacy of children is of paramount importance. srtconverters.info is intended for general audiences and does not knowingly collect, solicit, or maintain personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions).

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted personal information through our contact form, please notify us immediately, and we will promptly delete that information from our records.

11. Data Security Measures

We employ industry-standard technical security practices to safeguard data:

• Universal HTTPS/TLS Encryption: All traffic between your browser and our website is strictly encrypted in transit using modern Transport Layer Security (TLS).
• Client-Side Isolation: Because conversion runs in your browser sandbox, your private files are never exposed to transmission interception or server breach risks.
• Hardened Infrastructure: Our hosting environment is maintained with regular security updates and continuous monitoring.

12. Your Legal Privacy Rights (GDPR, CCPA / CPRA)

Depending on your jurisdiction (including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, California, and other US states), you may have specific statutory privacy rights:

• Right to Know / Access: The right to request information about the categories of personal data collected, if any.
• Right to Deletion: The right to request the deletion of personal data we maintain (such as an email you sent us).
• Right to Rectification: The right to correct inaccurate personal data.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale / Sharing: We do not sell personal data, nor do we share personal data for monetary consideration.
• Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against you, deny access, or alter your experience for exercising any privacy right.

13. Policy Updates & Modifications

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our tools, technology, applicable laws, or advertising guidelines. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with an updated “Last updated” revision date. Continued use of the website following changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
