Privacy Policy

This policy describes what MediaDocks processes when you use the site, and how advertising and analytics work.

Effective date: 7 November 2026

1. Summary

  • MediaDocks has no user accounts. You do not give us a name or password to use a tool.
  • Files that must be processed on the server are handled in a temporary location for the request. Many tools process files in your browser and never upload them.
  • Like any web server, ours sees your IP address and browser details while it answers a request. Usage statistics use a one-way daily digest instead of storing the address.
  • Advertising, when enabled, is provided by Google and uses cookies and similar technologies. See sections 3 and 4.

2. Information we process

Uploaded files. The AI transcription, subtitle and summary tools send the audio from a file you upload to Google's Gemini API to produce your result. Video to Audio uploads the video to our server so the audio can be extracted and returned. Server-side copies are temporary and tied to the request; MediaDocks does not keep a library of uploads.

Browser-only tools. The image converter, image resizer, PDF to image, image to PDF, SVG to PNG, Base64 and QR code tools run in your browser, and so does the Background Remover. The Background Remover downloads an image model from Hugging Face (huggingface.co) when you first use it; your images are not sent there.

Short links. The URL shortener stores the destination address you submit, the short code, a creation time and a click count so the link can redirect. Do not shorten addresses that contain secrets.

Link tools reachable by direct link. If you paste a public media link into one of the link tools that are reachable by direct address, our server requests public metadata for that link. To avoid repeating requests we store a one-way hash of the address with a short expiry (30 minutes by default), not the address itself.

Server logs. Our server records request details such as the time, the endpoint and an outcome code to operate the service and investigate problems. These logs are not used to build profiles. Rate limiting keeps a short-lived hash of the IP address in the server's memory to slow abusive request bursts.

3. Cookies and local storage

Set by MediaDocks. MediaDocks sets no cookie for visitor measurement and no cookie for public visitors to sign in. Two cookies exist for the site operator's admin area: a signed session cookie while the operator is signed in, and a cookie named sidebar_state that remembers whether the admin sidebar is open.

Local storage in your browser. The site keeps your theme choice, a short list of recent items, and a list of links you created with the URL shortener in your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device and you can clear it in your browser settings.

Set by Google. If advertising is enabled and you are shown ads, Google and its partners may set or read cookies and similar identifiers on your device, as described in the next section.

4. Advertising and Google

The version of MediaDocks you are reading does not request any ads.

MediaDocks does not place ads on tool screens, downloader pages, short links or legal pages. If ads are enabled, they appear only on long-form guide pages.

If ads are enabled, the following applies:

  • Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads on this site. Other third-party vendors may also set cookies.
  • Google and its partners may use web beacons (small image requests that report that a page or ad was viewed) and similar technologies to measure and serve ads.
  • When an ad is requested, Google receives your IP address, your browser and device details, the page being viewed, and identifiers stored in its cookies.
  • Ads can be personalized, based on your visits to this and other sites, or non-personalized, based on the content of the page and general information such as your approximate location. Which kind you see depends on your Google settings and on the consent you give where consent is required.
  • Where the law requires consent, for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, ads are requested only after a consent tool reports your choice.

To learn how Google uses data when you use sites that use its services, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

5. Your ad choices

This version of MediaDocks does not request ads, so there is no ad consent control to change. The links below still let you manage ad personalization on the web in general.

  • Manage Google ad personalization in Google Ads Settings.
  • Opt out of personalized advertising from participating vendors at aboutads.info.
  • If you are in the European Economic Area, use Your Online Choices.
  • You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

See the guides library at /guides for the pages on which a consent control, when installed, is available.

6. AI processing (Google Gemini API)

The Video to Text, Audio to Text, Audio Summarizer and Subtitle tools send audio to Google's Gemini API over an encrypted connection to produce transcripts, subtitles and summaries. MediaDocks does not use your files or results to train its own models. Google processes the data under its own terms and privacy notices, which we do not control.

7. Usage statistics

MediaDocks records anonymous usage events to see which pages and tools are used and whether they fail. For a page view or tool request we store the page path, a device class (such as mobile or desktop), the referring host (not the full referring address), an outcome and, for link tools, the platform name.

To count distinct visitors without storing IP addresses, the server computes a one-way SHA-256 digest of the IP address, the browser string, a secret salt and the calendar date, and keeps the first part of it. The value changes every day, cannot be turned back into an address, and cannot be linked across days. Events are deleted after 90 days by default. Known crawlers are not counted.

8. Your rights and contact

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data, to object to processing, and to withdraw consent. MediaDocks has no accounts and generally holds no data that identifies you, but if you think we hold data about you, email sapdigitechsolutions@gmail.com and describe the request. For data that Google holds through advertising, use the links in section 5.

We may update this policy when the site changes. The effective date at the top shows when the text last changed in a way that matters.

No account needed

Pick a tool and start with your own file.

Transcribe a recording, add subtitles, convert an image or document, or read a guide first. There is nothing to install and no sign-up step.
