Carl's Creations

Privacy policy

Your documents stay on your computer.

This policy explains how Carl's Creations handles website inquiries, support requests, cookies, and application diagnostics. The Windows PDF application processes opened files locally unless you choose to share a file with us.

01 / Scope

What this policy covers

It applies to this website and to direct interactions with Carl's Creations. Third-party websites have their own policies.

Personal information means details that can identify you, such as your name, email address, message, or support history. Non-personal information includes general browser and usage details that do not identify you on their own.

The PDF Desktop Application does not send your opened documents or file contents to Carl's Creations or any third party. Processing is entirely local on your Windows computer.

02 / Information

Information we collect

The information depends on how you interact with Carl's Creations. The application does not scan your files for our systems.

When you use the website

We collect the details you choose to provide and limited technical information needed to keep the site working.

  • Name, email address, and message submitted through a contact form.
  • Support details you include in an email or case.
  • Pages visited, browser type, approximate timing, and similar analytics data where enabled.
  • Necessary cookies for sessions and optional analytics cookies when you consent.

When you use the Windows app

Local document work stays local. Optional technical information helps us investigate a reported issue.

  • Application version and basic update information.
  • Diagnostic details only when you opt in or provide them with a support request.
  • No automatic collection of opened files, document text, images, or embedded personal data.

03 / Use

How we use your information

We use information for a defined reason, then keep it under review.

  • Reply to contact messages and support requests.
  • Diagnose a technical problem when you provide or approve relevant details.
  • Improve website content, navigation, and application reliability through aggregated information.
  • Send product notices or updates when you have asked to receive them.
  • Meet legal duties, protect the service, and prevent misuse.
Your information is not sold.

Carl's Creations does not sell personal information or share document content for advertising.

04 / Cookies

Cookies and tracking

Cookies are small files placed in your browser. They help the website remember a session and show us general site activity.

Necessary cookies support core functions, such as maintaining a secure contact session. Optional analytics cookies may record pages visited, browser details, and visit timing when enabled. You can manage optional cookie preferences through your browser settings or the cookie controls presented on the website.

Turning off optional cookies will not prevent you from reading the policy or contacting Carl's Creations.

05 / Retention and rights

Data retention and your rights

We keep information for the time needed to answer a request, operate the service, or meet a legal requirement.

Contact records

Contact form information is retained for up to two years unless a longer period is required to resolve an active matter.

Support records

Support case details are kept as needed to investigate an issue, maintain service history, and protect against repeated abuse.

Your requests

You may request access, correction, or deletion of your personal information by emailing info@carlscreations.com.

California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act where that law applies. We will verify a request before making changes to an account or record.

06 / Providers

Third-party services

Some website functions may rely on providers that host the site, process messages, or provide analytics.

These providers receive only the information needed for their stated service and must handle it under their own terms and privacy practices. Website analytics may be provided by a service such as Google Analytics when enabled. The Windows application does not use a third-party service to send document contents, and its local PDF processing does not share your files with us.
