Privacy Policy

Welcome to CWORK STUDIO (accessible at https://cwork.in), designed and created by Mustak. At CWORK, we believe personal document security and privacy are fundamental rights. This Privacy Policy details our privacy architecture, data handling, and compliance with global privacy standards including Google AdSense advertising policies.

1. Information We Collect

A. Client-Side Operations (No Uploads)

When you compress images, edit PDFs, merge documents, or generate passport photos on CWORK, file processing executes entirely on your device. We do not transmit, view, or retain your source documents.

B. Account and Authentication Data

If you create an optional account or subscribe to unlock higher daily quotas, we collect:

• Email address and optional username (for authentication and OTP verification).
• Encrypted password hashes (we never store plain text passwords).
• Google Profile Info (name and email) if you choose "Sign in with Google" via OAuth.
• Subscription status and quota credits.

C. Quick Print Drop Data (Temporary & Ephemeral)

If you use our Quick Print Drop feature to transfer files from a mobile phone to a cyber cafe print station, files are held temporarily in an encrypted directory solely to permit local counter printing. Files are automatically permanently purged after the print session or 2 hours maximum.

2. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising (DART Cookies)

CWORK may display advertisements supplied by Google AdSense and certified third-party ad networks to keep core document tools freely accessible.

• Google DoubleClick DART Cookies: Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of DART cookies enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to CWORK and other sites on the Internet.
• Personalized Advertising Opt-Out: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at www.aboutads.info.
• Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are sent directly to users' browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. CWORK has no access to or control over these cookies used by third-party advertisers.

3. Cookies and Browser Storage

CWORK utilizes local browser storage (localStorage and session cookies) solely for:

• Remembering your active session token and user preferences (Dark/Light mode).
• Enforcing fair-usage daily tool limits without tracking cross-site behavior.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-grade security protocols, including 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption for all data in transit, strict HTTP security headers (X-Frame-Options, Content-Type-Options), and hardened database controls.

5. Children's Privacy

CWORK does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child provided personal information on our website, please contact us immediately and we will promptly remove such records.

6. CCPA & GDPR Rights

Under regulations such as GDPR and CCPA, users have rights including:

• The right to access, rectify, or request deletion of your personal account data.
• The right to restrict or object to the processing of your data.
• The right to data portability.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. Changes are effective immediately upon posting to this URL.
