Privacy Policy

How ReconScribe handles accounts, analytics, cookies, advertising and privacy choices.

Effective date and last updated: 3 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what information ReconScribe.com collects, why we collect it, how third-party services may use it, and the choices available to visitors. By using the website, you acknowledge the practices described here.

Information you provide

We may collect information you choose to submit, including:

  • Your name and email address when you create an account or use a supported social sign-in provider.
  • Messages sent through contact, feedback, newsletter or custom-file request forms.
  • Basic information needed to deliver a requested download or respond to a support request.

Please do not send tax returns, identity documents, bank statements, passwords or other sensitive financial information through general contact forms.

Information collected automatically

When you visit the site, our hosting, security and analytics services may automatically receive technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, requested URL, date and time, approximate location, and interactions with the site. Server logs are used for security, troubleshooting and aggregate usage analysis.

Cookies and similar technologies

ReconScribe and service providers may use cookies or similar technologies to keep accounts working, remember preferences, measure site performance, prevent abuse and understand how pages are used. You can limit or delete cookies through your browser settings, although some account or download features may then stop working correctly.

Google Analytics

We may use Google Analytics through Google Site Kit to understand aggregate traffic and improve content. Google Analytics may collect device, browser, referral and interaction information and associate it with cookies or similar identifiers. You can learn more about Google’s handling of information from sites that use its services at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Google advertising and third-party ads

ReconScribe may use Google AdSense or other advertising partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve and measure ads based on a visitor’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies can allow Google and its partners to personalize ads where consent and applicable law permit.

You can manage or opt out of personalized Google advertising through Google Ads Settings. You can also review broader industry opt-out options at YourAdChoices. Opting out of personalized advertising does not necessarily remove all advertising.

Advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses or similar technologies to measure delivery, prevent fraud and report performance. Their processing is governed by their own privacy policies. ReconScribe does not receive the personal data those partners use to independently personalize an ad.

How we use information

We use collected information to:

  • Operate, secure and troubleshoot the website.
  • Create and manage user accounts.
  • Send the ReconScribe newsletter to account holders, with our new guides and tools. Every newsletter has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing does not close your account.
  • Deliver requested files and respond to messages.
  • Measure aggregate traffic and improve site content and usability.
  • Detect spam, fraud, abuse and technical attacks.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

When information is shared

We may share limited information with service providers that help host, secure, authenticate, analyse or operate the site. These providers process information for their service functions and under their own terms. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights or safety, or in connection with a reorganisation of the website.

We use Brevo to send account emails and the newsletter, so Brevo receives your email address for that purpose.

We do not sell account registration details or contact-form messages.

Data retention and security

We retain information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose for which it was collected, security, record keeping or legal compliance. Retention periods vary by data type. We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your choices and rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction or deletion of personal information, or to object to certain processing. You may also unsubscribe through the link included in marketing email, adjust browser cookie settings and use the advertising controls linked above.

To make a privacy request, email privacy@reconscribe.com. We may need to verify that the request relates to you before acting on it.

Children’s privacy

ReconScribe is intended for adults and business users. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.

External links and policy changes

Our articles link to government portals, product documentation and other websites. Their privacy practices are not controlled by ReconScribe. We may update this policy when our services, providers or legal obligations change. The effective date at the top identifies the current version.
