Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 31, 2025

🔒 Privacy-First Design

Your data never leaves your device. All certificate creation happens locally in your browser. We don't store your personal information, certificates, or any uploaded content on our servers.

What We Collect

Information You Provide

When you use CertifyFast to create certificates, all information you enter (recipient names, titles, descriptions, logos, signatures) is:

  • Processed entirely in your browser (client-side)
  • Stored only in your browser's local storage (if you choose to save)
  • Never sent to our servers
  • Never stored in our databases
  • Under your complete control - you can clear it anytime

Automatically Collected Information

We collect minimal technical information necessary to operate the service:

  • Usage Analytics: Anonymous page views, feature usage (via privacy-respecting analytics)
  • Error Logs: Technical errors to improve service reliability
  • Browser Information: Browser type, device type, screen size (for compatibility)

We do NOT track:

  • Individual user identities
  • IP addresses
  • Certificate content or personal data
  • Cross-site browsing behavior

How We Use Your Information

We use the minimal data we collect to:

  • Provide and improve the certificate generation service
  • Monitor and analyze usage patterns (anonymously) to enhance features
  • Detect and prevent technical issues and abuse
  • Ensure browser compatibility and performance

Data Storage & Security

Local Storage Only

Your certificate data is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage:

  • Data stays on your device until you clear browser data
  • Other websites cannot access your certificate data
  • Clearing cookies/cache will remove your saved certificates
  • You are responsible for backing up important certificates (via PDF download)

Security Measures

We implement security measures including:

  • HTTPS encryption for all traffic
  • Client-side processing (your data never transmits to servers)
  • Regular security audits and updates
  • No user accounts or passwords to compromise

Cookies & Tracking

We use minimal cookies and tracking:

  • Essential cookies: Required for the website to function (session management)
  • Analytics cookies: Anonymous usage statistics (no personal identification)

We do NOT use: Advertising cookies, third-party tracking pixels, or behavioral targeting.

Third-Party Services

CertifyFast uses the following third-party services:

  • Vercel (Hosting): Hosts the application (does not access your certificate data)
  • Analytics (Privacy-Focused): Anonymous usage statistics (no personal data)

These services do not have access to your certificate content, names, or uploaded files.

Your Rights & Choices

You have complete control over your data:

  • Access: All your data is in your browser's local storage (accessible via browser DevTools)
  • Delete: Clear browser data or use the "Clear All" button in certificate history
  • Export: Download your certificates as PDFs anytime
  • Opt-out: Disable analytics via browser settings or ad blockers

Since your data never leaves your device, you maintain full ownership and control at all times.

Children's Privacy

CertifyFast does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since all processing is client-side and we don't collect personal data, the service can be used by anyone. Parents and educators are encouraged to supervise children's use of the service.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify users of significant changes by:

  • Updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page
  • Displaying a notice on the website (for material changes)

Continued use of CertifyFast after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
