At WebRecast (webrecast.com), transparency is a core principle. This policy explains what data is processed by the site and by its third-party partners, why it is processed, and which controls you have. Most tools run entirely in your browser, but the site itself uses analytics and may display advertising.
1. Information We Process
WebRecast does not operate a user database: tools such as image compression, text processing, and calculators run entirely in your browser and your files never leave your device. However, when you load a page, the site and its third-party partners may automatically process minimal technical data that can qualify as personal data under GDPR/KVKK — for example your IP address, a cookie identifier, browser type, and aggregate usage events. This data is used to keep the site secure, measure traffic, and (where applicable) show relevant ads.
2. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies. Essential cookies keep the site working (for example theme and language preference). Analytics cookies (Google Analytics 4) let us understand aggregate, pseudonymous usage patterns. Advertising cookies (set by Google and other ad partners when advertising is active) may be used to measure ad performance and to show ads that are more relevant to you. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies through the consent banner shown on your first visit.
3. Analytics
4. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdSense)
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand aggregate traffic and improve the site. GA4 collects pseudonymous usage data (cookie ID, page views, events). In regions where consent is required (EEA, UK, Switzerland), GA4 storage only activates after you accept the consent banner.
5. Data Retention and Deletion
Tool inputs and outputs are never sent to or stored on our servers; they are processed and discarded inside your browser. The data processed by GA4 is retained according to Google's retention settings (aggregated data may be kept up to 14 months; cookie identifiers up to the cookie lifetime). Ad-related data is retained according to the respective ad partner's policy. To request deletion of analytics or advertising identifiers linked to your consent, contact us at the email below and we will forward the request to the relevant processor.
6. Your Rights (GDPR / KVKK)
For users in the European Union and the United Kingdom, we apply GDPR principles. For users in Turkey, we apply KVKK (Law No. 6698). You have the right to: (a) be informed about the processing of your data; (b) access a copy of the personal data we have disclosed to our processors; (c) request correction of inaccurate data; (d) request erasure ("right to be forgotten"); (e) withdraw consent at any time (withdrawal does not affect processing carried out before withdrawal); (f) lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below. We acknowledge valid requests within 30 days and complete them without undue delay. The data controller responsible for this site can be reached at the email listed below.
7. Third-Party Links
Our website contains links to external sites, including the privacy and opt-out pages of our advertising partners. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third-party sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.
8. Children's Privacy
WebRecast is a general-purpose utility site and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 (under 16 in the EEA/UK). If you believe a child has provided personal data to us or to our advertising partners via the site, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such data.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time — particularly when our advertising or analytics configuration changes. We will notify users of significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
10. Cookie Consent and Changing Your Preference
When you first visit WebRecast, a cookie consent banner appears. If you accept, Google Analytics and (where active) Google AdSense advertising cookies are enabled. If you reject, analytics and advertising storage remains disabled where consent is required. You can change your preference at any time by clearing local storage for this site or by using your browser's cookie controls.
What We Help With
Tool behavior and unexpected results: describe the tool, the input you used, and the result you expected.
Bug reports: include your browser, device, and step-by-step actions so we can reproduce the issue.
Feature ideas: tell us which task you want to solve and how a new tool or option would help.
Content corrections: if a guide, reference, or FAQ is unclear or wrong, send the page URL and the fix.
Privacy and data: for questions about cookies, analytics, or advertising, read our privacy policy first.
When to Expect a Reply
We review messages in the order they arrive and usually reply within two to three business days. Reports about security, privacy, or broken core tools are prioritized. If your issue is urgent, mention it in the subject line.
Before You Write
Many questions are answered in our guides and reference pages. If a tool is not working, try refreshing the page, clearing the browser cache, or disabling extensions that may block scripts. Browser-based tools depend on your device, so including browser and OS details helps us diagnose faster.
