Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Invoice Generator ("we", "us", or "our"), accessible at https://example.com, handles information when you use our website and online invoice generator tool. Please read this policy carefully. By using our website, you agree to the practices described here.

Our invoice generator is designed to be a privacy-first tool. The core function of the tool — creating, previewing, and downloading invoices — operates entirely within your browser without transmitting your invoice data to our servers.

2. Information You Enter

When you use the Invoice Generator tool, you may enter various types of information including:

• Business name, address, phone number, email, and website
• VAT or tax registration number and company registration number
• Client name, address, and contact details
• Invoice details, line items, prices, and payment amounts
• Bank account details and payment information
• Notes, payment terms, and messages

This information is processed entirely within your browser. It is not transmitted to our servers at any point during normal use of the invoice generator.

3. Browser-Based Invoice Processing

The Invoice Generator is a client-side web application. All invoice calculations, live preview generation, and PDF creation are performed by JavaScript running in your browser on your own device. We do not receive, store, or process the content of your invoices on any server.

When you download a PDF, the file is generated locally by your browser using the jsPDF and html2canvas libraries and saved directly to your device. No PDF content is transmitted to any server.

4. localStorage (Browser Storage)

Our invoice generator uses your browser's built-in localStorage to save:

• Draft invoice data between sessions
• Your selected currency preference
• Your theme preference (light or dark mode)
• Invoice design settings
• The last-used invoice number

localStorage data is stored on your device only. It is not transmitted to our servers. It persists across browser sessions until you clear it manually (via your browser settings or the Reset button in the tool) or until your browser purges stored data.

We recommend that you do not use the Invoice Generator on a shared or public device, as localStorage data may remain accessible to other users of the same browser on that device.

5. Uploaded Logos and Signatures

If you upload a business logo or a signature image, those files are processed entirely within your browser. They are converted to base64 data URLs and stored temporarily in memory and in localStorage (as part of your saved draft). They are included in your downloaded PDF by your browser. They are never uploaded to our servers.

6. Contact Form Submissions

If you submit the contact form on our Contact Us page, the information you provide — including your name, email address, and message — may be transmitted to a third-party form handling service (such as Formspree, Web3Forms, or EmailJS) or to our email server, depending on how the form has been configured. Please read the privacy policy of any third-party service used to handle form submissions.

We use contact form submissions only to respond to your enquiry. We do not add contact form respondents to marketing lists without their explicit consent.

7. Cookies

Our website may use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function, such as remembering your theme preference
• Analytics cookies: Used to understand how visitors use our website (if analytics are configured)

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the website, such as your ability to retain your theme preference across visits.

8. Analytics

We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or a privacy-friendly alternative) to understand how visitors interact with our website. Analytics tools may collect anonymised data including page views, approximate location, device type, browser type, and referring source. This data does not include your invoice content or any personally identifiable information that you enter into the invoice generator.

If we use analytics, we will update this policy to name the specific tool and describe how data is handled.

9. Third-Party Services

Our website loads resources from the following third-party services:

• Google Fonts — for typography. Google may log font requests.
• Bootstrap (via CDN) — for layout and component styling
• Font Awesome (via CDN) — for icons
• jsPDF and html2canvas (via CDN) — for PDF generation

These services may set cookies or collect basic technical data such as your IP address as part of serving their resources. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for details.

10. Advertising

We may display advertisements on our website provided by third-party advertising networks. These networks may use cookies to serve ads based on your browsing behaviour. If advertising is active on our website, we will provide appropriate disclosure and, where required, consent mechanisms.

11. Data Security

Because your invoice data is processed locally in your browser and is not transmitted to our servers, the primary security risks related to your invoice content are those associated with your own device and browser. We recommend using a secure, up-to-date browser and ensuring your device is protected with appropriate security measures.

We take reasonable technical precautions to protect the website itself, including using HTTPS for all connections. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is completely secure.

12. Data Retention

We do not retain your invoice data on any server. localStorage data on your device is retained until you clear it. Contact form submission data may be retained in our email inbox for as long as is necessary to handle your enquiry.

13. External Links

Our website may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

14. Children's Privacy

Our website and invoice generator are not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through our website, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.

15. Your Rights

Because we do not store your invoice data on our servers, many standard data subject rights (such as the right of access, correction, or deletion) do not apply to invoice content. However, with respect to any personal data that we do hold (such as contact form submissions), you may have the right to:

• Request access to the information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information
• Object to processing or request restriction of processing

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details in the Contact Us section below.

16. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be updated whenever changes are made. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the website after changes are made constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
