1. Who we are
Navaria Consulting Private Limited ("we", "us", "yelefile") is a company registered in New Delhi, India, and operates the website at yelefile.com.
2. What "data" means here
For the purposes of this policy, "data" means the files you put into a tool plus a small amount of request metadata (your IP address, user agent, and request timestamp).
3. Two groups of tools
yelefile is built so that most tools run entirely in your browser. We distinguish between client-side tools and server-side tools because they handle your files very differently.
3.1 Client-side tools
These tools run entirely inside your browser. Your files never leave your device. We do not see them, and we have no copy of them at any point.
The following tools are fully client-side:
- Compress PDF, Merge PDF, Split PDF, Rotate PDF
- Lock PDF, Unlock PDF, Organize PDF, Extract Images from PDF
- Watermark PDF, Number PDF, Flatten PDF, Grayscale PDF
- PDF ↔ JPG
- Compress Image, Resize Image, Convert Image, Remove EXIF
- Compress Audio, Convert Audio, Trim Audio, Merge Audio, Extract Audio
- Compress Video, Convert Video, Trim Video, Video to GIF, Extract Frames (for files up to 20 MB)
3.2 Server-side tools
A small number of tools require specialized server software and cannot be made to run in the browser. For these tools, your file is uploaded to our server over HTTPS for processing.
The following tools are server-side:
- DOCX → PDF, XLSX → PDF, PPTX → PDF
- OCR Extract Text, OCR Searchable PDF
- Any media tool when the file exceeds 20 MB and the in-browser engine hands off to the server
4. What happens to files on server-side tools
- Uploaded over HTTPS, processed in memory only
- Never written to disk
- Deleted within seconds of the response being sent
- No logging of file contents; only request metadata is logged
- Not used for training, not shared with third parties, not retained
- Maximum upload size of 50 MB, rate-limited per IP address
5. Cookies and analytics
yelefile uses Rybbit, a privacy-friendly analytics tool, to count visits and understand which tools are used. We run Rybbit on our own server at rybbit.navariaconsulting.com — your visit data never leaves Navaria Consulting's infrastructure and is not shared with any third party. Rybbit does not use cookies.
The data Rybbit collects is limited to:
- Anonymized page view counts
- Browser and operating system (e.g., "Chrome on Android")
- Country, derived from your IP address (the full IP is not stored)
- The URL of the page you visited and the referring page
We do not see or store the files you process through yelefile. We do not run third-party advertising scripts or third-party tracking SDKs.
6. Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act)
For the brief period during which a server-side tool processes your file, we act as a Data Fiduciary under the DPDP Act. Your rights under the Act include access, correction, and erasure of your personal data, and the right to grievance redressal. To exercise any of these rights, email yelefile@gmail.com.
7. Children
yelefile is a general-audience service. It is not directed at users under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from minors.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page changes when we do. We will not retroactively broaden how we use existing data without notice.
