Privacy
Last updated [date]
The short version
- The tools run in your browser. Your images, PDFs and ebooks are never uploaded.
- There are no accounts, no ads and no cookies. We count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which doesn’t identify you.
- If you sign up for email updates, your email address is stored by our email service, EcoSend, and used only to send those updates. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Who we are
slowdesks (slowdesks.com) is run by [your full name], based in [country]. For anything about your data, email him@jakegreen.dev.
Your files
When you use a tool, your files are opened and processed by your own browser, on your own device. They aren’t sent to us or anyone else, and nothing is kept once you close the page. This includes the password of a protected PDF, which is only used on your device to open the file.
Things your browser remembers
To save you choosing them again, your browser’s local storage keeps a few settings. They stay on your device and are never sent to us:
- your light or dark theme (
sd-theme) - the last device you picked (
sd-wallpaper-device) - the file type you last saved a wallpaper as (
sd-wallpaper-file-type)
You can clear them at any time in your browser’s settings. We don’t use cookies.
Visit counts
To see which pages and tools people use, the site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics. It counts page views along with the page, the site you came from, and your country, browser, operating system and type of device. It uses no cookies and no fingerprinting, and doesn’t track you from one visit or site to the next. See Cloudflare Web Analytics.
Email updates
If you sign up on the home page, we collect your email address so we can tell you when a new tool or guide goes live. Nothing else is asked for.
- Why we can: your consent, given when you subscribe and confirm your address.
- Who stores it: EcoSend, run by GoSquared Ltd in the UK, which sends the emails on our behalf and stores your address in [the UK / the EU / the US]. EcoSend also records when you signed up, and may record whether you open the emails. See [link to EcoSend’s privacy policy].
- How long: until you unsubscribe. Then your address is removed from the list, or deleted on request.
- Unsubscribing: every email has an unsubscribe link, or email us and we’ll remove you.
We don’t sell or share your address with anyone else.
If you email us
Feedback and messages sent to him@jakegreen.dev are kept only as long as needed to reply, and never added to the email list unless you ask.
Hosting
The site is hosted by Cloudflare, Inc. Like any web server, it may briefly log technical details of each request, such as your IP address and browser, to keep the site running and secure. We don’t use these logs to identify you. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.
Links to other sites
The Support button opens Ko-fi, and some links go to other sites. They have their own privacy policies, which apply once you’re there.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete the data we hold about you (in practice, just your email address if you signed up), or withdraw your consent at any time. Email him@jakegreen.dev. If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, you can complain to [your data protection authority, e.g. the ICO in the UK or the OAIC in Australia].
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top will change too. If it’s a change that matters for the email list, we’ll tell subscribers.
