Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Scope

OMNIKITY ("we", "our", or "us"), accessible at omnikity.com, provides web-based productivity, media conversion, document processing, and developer utilities. This Privacy Policy outlines our principles regarding the collection, processing, and retention of personal data and digital files submitted to our infrastructure.

We strictly believe that your files belong to you. We do not monetize your documents, sell your personal information, or utilize user uploads for artificial intelligence training.

2. Temporary Processing vs. Cloud Storage Vault

OMNIKITY operates with strict architectural separation between ephemeral guest processing and persistent user vaults:

• Temporary Processing Pipeline (Free Tools): Files uploaded for conversion, compression, or transformation are assigned cryptographic UUID identifiers and stored in isolated scratch directories. Once processing completes, files are permanently deleted within 30 minutes by an automated cleanup daemon.
• OMNIKITY Cloud Vault (Pro & Business Subscribers): Subscribers may optionally opt-in to store documents in their encrypted private vault. Files in the Cloud Vault remain accessible until the user chooses to delete them or permanently deletes their account.

3. Information We Collect

Depending on your interaction with OMNIKITY, we may process:

• Guest Visitors: Zero personal data. Browser preferences (such as pinned tools and favorite shortcuts) are stored strictly on your device using HTML5 localStorage.
• Registered Users: Email address, hashed password (using bcrypt with 12 salt rounds), display name, and subscription tier.
• Technical Logs: Anonymized server logs including request method, response status, and general user-agent strings for security rate-limiting and DDoS defense.

4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising

OMNIKITY uses Google AdSense to serve non-intrusive advertisements on free tool pages to sustain operating costs. As part of this service:

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to OMNIKITY and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies by visiting aboutads.info.
• Ad-Free Guarantee: Pro and Business subscribers are 100% ad-free. No advertising scripts or ad units are served to authenticated paid accounts.

5. Payment Processing Security

Payment transactions are processed exclusively via PCI-DSS Level 1 certified gateways (Stripe and PayPal). OMNIKITY servers never receive, store, or transmit your raw credit card numbers (PAN) or CVV codes. All checkout sessions take place on provider-hosted portals.

6. GDPR & CCPA Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you retain the following rights:

• Right of Access (Article 15): Request a complete copy of personal data associated with your account.
• Right to Portability (Article 20): Export your account data in standard machine-readable JSON format via /dashboard/privacy.
