Privacy Policy for AI Data Processing

Last updated: 3/26/2025

Overview

Markdown Converters is a personal project created by Amit Malik. This privacy policy explains how we handle your data when you use our services, especially when processing documents for AI applications. We offer two distinct products:

  • An online web-based converter service optimized for AI workflows
  • A desktop application for local and secure AI-ready document conversion

Each has different privacy implications, detailed below. We understand that documents processed for AI applications may contain sensitive information, so we've designed our privacy practices accordingly.

Desktop Application Privacy Policy

Our desktop application processes everything locally on your computer. We collect absolutely no data, making it ideal for processing confidential AI training materials and proprietary datasets.

Key Points for AI Data Processing:

  • All file processing occurs locally on your computer
  • No data is ever sent to our servers or exposed to external AI systems
  • No analytics or telemetry data is collected
  • No internet connection is required, ensuring complete air-gapped security for sensitive AI projects
  • Complete privacy and security of your AI training data is guaranteed
  • You maintain full control of your data at all times, crucial for compliance with AI data governance policies

Online Service Privacy Policy

AI Data Collection

For our online service, we collect minimal data necessary to provide the AI-optimized conversion services:

  • Files you upload for conversion to AI-friendly Markdown
  • Basic usage analytics (page views, conversion counts)
  • Technical data (browser type, device information)

AI Document Handling

Files uploaded for conversion to AI-friendly formats are:

  • Processed securely using enterprise-grade encryption, essential for protecting sensitive AI training data
  • Automatically deleted after 24 hours to minimize exposure risk
  • Never shared with third-party AI systems or used to train our own AI models
  • Used solely for the purpose of conversion to Markdown for your AI applications
  • Never analyzed by AI systems during processing without your explicit consent

Data Storage for AI Processing

All file processing is temporary, which is crucial for sensitive AI data:

  • Files are stored only during the conversion process
  • No permanent copies are kept, reducing risk of data leakage to unauthorized AI systems
  • Converted files are automatically deleted after download or 24 hours
  • Data processing complies with best practices for AI training data security

Analytics

We use basic analytics to improve our service:

  • Anonymous usage statistics
  • No personal information is collected
  • No cookies are used for tracking
  • No data on specific AI projects or use cases is collected

Third-Party Services

Our online service uses the following third-party services:

  • Microsoft Azure for secure file processing and hosting
  • Google Analytics for anonymous usage analytics

AI Compliance Considerations

Our privacy practices support compliance with common AI data governance requirements:

  • GDPR compliance for EU-based AI projects
  • CCPA compliance for California-based AI development
  • Support for data minimization principles in AI development
  • Transparency about data processing for AI applications
