Note about essential cookies: Some cookies are necessary for our bug tracking system to function properly. These handle your login session, remember your project settings, and keep your bug reports secure. We can't disable these without breaking the platform, but they don't track you across other websites.

What We Actually Collect
Technical Information
Your browser sends us basic technical details automatically. We collect your IP address, browser type, operating system, and screen resolution. This helps us fix bugs that only happen on specific setups and optimize performance for different devices.
Usage Patterns
We track which pages you visit and what features you use. Not in a creepy way—we're trying to figure out which parts of our bug tracker work well and which parts confuse people. If nobody uses a feature, we might need to redesign it or explain it better.
Bug Report Data
When you submit bug reports, we store the information you provide along with timestamps and associated project details. This is obviously necessary for a bug tracking system to work. We keep this data secure and only share it with your team members.
Session Information
We monitor active sessions to help you stay logged in across different pages and to detect suspicious activity. If someone tries to access your account from an unusual location, these session cookies help us flag that as potentially problematic.
Your Control Options
Browser Settings
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Look for "Privacy" or "Security" sections in your browser preferences. Keep in mind that blocking all cookies will prevent you from logging into pdfgiar.com.
Opt-Out Tools
You can use browser extensions like Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin to control tracking. We respect Do Not Track signals when your browser sends them, though not all of our analytics partners do.
Account Settings
Once you're logged in, visit your account dashboard to control data collection preferences. You can disable analytics tracking while keeping the essential functionality that makes the platform work.
Data Export and Deletion
Request a copy of your data or ask us to delete your account by contacting our support team. We'll process data deletion requests within 30 days, though we might need to keep some information for legal compliance.
How Long We Keep This Information
Different types of data get stored for different lengths of time. We don't keep things forever—just long enough to serve their purpose.
| Data Type | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Session Cookies | Until browser closes | Keep you logged in during active use |
| Preference Cookies | 12 months | Remember your settings between visits |
| Analytics Data | 24 months | Identify usage trends over time |
| Bug Reports | Until project deletion | Maintain project history and records |
| Account Data | Until account closure | Provide ongoing service access |
