GDPR & Data Protection

Last updated: April 2026

Overview

MarkdownToPDF.cc is committed to protecting the privacy rights of individuals under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable data protection laws. This page explains the legal basis for any data processing, your rights, and how to exercise them.

1. Data Controller

The data controller for MarkdownToPDF.cc is the operator of this website. For any data-related enquiries, please use the Contact page.

2. Legal Basis for Processing

We process data under the following legal bases:

  • Legitimate interests — anonymised analytics data helps us understand how the tool is used and improve it, without overriding your privacy rights.
  • Consent — where required by law, we rely on your implicit consent by continuing to use the Service after being informed of our data practices.

4. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the following rights:

  • Right of access — request a copy of data we hold about you
  • Right to rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
  • Right to erasure — request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
  • Right to restriction — request that we limit processing of your data
  • Right to data portability — receive your data in a portable format
  • Right to object — object to processing based on legitimate interests
  • Right to withdraw consent — withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing

Because we do not collect personal data directly (only anonymised analytics via third parties), most requests will need to be directed to Google or Microsoft. We will assist where possible upon contacting us.

5. International Transfers

Analytics data may be processed in the United States by Google and Microsoft. Both companies participate in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and provide appropriate safeguards under GDPR Article 46.

6. Complaints

If you believe your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (e.g. the ICO in the UK, or your national data protection authority in the EU).
