Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026

Your Hindi text belongs to you. Whether you type a job application, a court document, or a typing test passage, you deserve to know exactly what happens to it. So we wrote this policy in plain language. No legal fog, just straight answers.

This Privacy Policy explains how Unicode to Kruti Dev Converter at unicodetokrutidev.org (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you use our website and tools. If you have a question after reading it, simply email us at unicodetokrutidev.marketing@gmail.com.

The Short Version

Before we dive into the details, here is the summary most people want:

  • Our converter runs inside your browser. JavaScript on the page converts your Unicode Devanagari text into Kruti Dev characters right on your own device.
  • We do not upload, save, or read the text you convert. Your text stays on your phone or computer.
  • You do not need an account. We never ask for your name, phone number, or Aadhaar details to use the tool.
  • We use cookies for analytics and ads. Google Analytics helps us see which pages work, and Google AdSense helps us keep the tool free.
  • You stay in control. You can block cookies, turn off personalised ads, and email us to access or delete any personal data you sent us.

Who We Are

We run a free online tool that converts Hindi text from Unicode to the Kruti Dev 010 font encoding, and from Kruti Dev back to Unicode. Thousands of students, typists, government employees, and printing professionals across India rely on Kruti Dev every day, especially for state recruitment typing tests and office documents. We built this site to make that conversion fast, accurate, and private.

For privacy purposes, we act as the “data controller” under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and as the “Data Fiduciary” under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) for the limited personal data we handle.

What Happens to the Text You Convert

This question matters most, so we answer it first.

Unicode stores every Devanagari letter in its own code block (U+0900 to U+097F). Kruti Dev, on the other hand, works as a legacy, non Unicode font. It maps Hindi glyphs onto ordinary English keyboard positions. Our converter simply swaps one set of characters for the other using a mapping table.

Because this swap only needs a mapping table and a bit of JavaScript, the whole process runs locally in your browser. As a result:

  • Your text never travels to our server.
  • We cannot see, store, log, or share what you type or paste.
  • When you close or refresh the tab, your text disappears from the page.

In short, you can safely convert sensitive material like legal drafts or exam answers. Still, we always suggest common sense: avoid pasting passwords or bank details into any website.

Information We Collect

We keep data collection to the bare minimum. Here is everything, grouped by source.

Information You Choose to Give Us

When you email us or use a contact form, you share:

  • Your name, if you include it
  • Your email address
  • Whatever you write in your message, including any attachments

We use this only to reply to you and solve your request.

Information Collected Automatically

Like almost every website, our server and our partners collect some technical data when you visit:

  • Server logs: Our hosting provider, Hostinger, records your IP address, browser type, device type, the page you requested, and the date and time. Hosts keep these logs for security, for example to block spam bots and attacks.
  • Analytics data: Google Analytics 4 measures which pages people visit, how long they stay, their approximate city or country, and the device they use. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store full IP addresses.
  • Advertising data: Google AdSense and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to show ads and measure their performance. You can read more in the advertising section below.

Information We Never Collect

We never ask for or knowingly collect Aadhaar numbers, PAN details, bank account numbers, caste, religion, health information, or exact GPS location.

How We Use Information

We use the information above for clear, limited purposes:

  • To run the converter and keep the site fast and secure
  • To answer your emails and fix the problems you report
  • To understand which features help people, so we can improve accuracy and add new tools
  • To show ads that pay for hosting, development, and our time, so the tool stays free
  • To meet legal duties, such as answering a valid court order

We do not sell your personal data. We do not rent it out. And we never use your converted text for anything at all, because we never receive it.

Our Legal Grounds for Processing

If you live in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the GDPR requires us to name a lawful basis for each use:

  • Consent: for advertising and analytics cookies, where the law requires consent
  • Legitimate interests: for security logs and basic site operation
  • Contract or request: when we reply to an email you sent us
  • Legal obligation: when a law requires us to keep or disclose information

Similarly, under India’s DPDP Act, 2023, we rely on your consent or on “legitimate uses” that the Act allows, such as information you voluntarily provide to us for a specific purpose.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. We use three kinds:

  • Essential cookies: These keep the site working and secure.
  • Analytics cookies: Google Analytics sets these to count visits and understand usage.
  • Advertising cookies: Google and its partners set these to show and measure ads.

For the full list and your choices, please read our Cookie Policy.

Advertising and Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Here is how that works, in Google’s own required terms:

  • Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites.
  • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to our site and other sites on the internet.
  • You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.
  • You can also opt out of some third party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices.

If you live in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, a consent banner from a Google certified consent management platform will ask for your choice before any personalised ads load. To learn more about how Google uses data, see How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Who We Share Information With

We share data only with trusted service providers who help us run the site:

  • Hostinger, our web host, stores the website and its server logs.
  • Google LLC provides Analytics and AdSense.
  • Our email provider (Google Gmail) stores the messages you send us.

Beyond this, we may disclose information when Indian or other applicable law requires it, for example in response to a valid order from a court or a government authority. If we ever sell or transfer the website, the new owner must follow this policy.

International Data Transfers

We serve users mainly in India, but Google and our host may process data on servers in other countries, including the United States. These companies use safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to protect your information during those transfers.

How Long We Keep Information

  • Converted text: zero seconds on our side, because we never receive it
  • Emails: up to 24 months, then we delete them, unless an ongoing issue needs them
  • Server logs: for the period our host sets for security, usually a few weeks
  • Analytics data: 14 months, the retention period we set in Google Analytics

How We Protect Information

We take practical steps to keep the site safe:

  • We serve every page over HTTPS, so your connection stays encrypted.
  • We keep WordPress, our theme, and plugins updated.
  • We use security tools that block brute force logins and malicious traffic.
  • We limit admin access to the people who actually run the site.

Of course, no website can promise perfect security. However, since we never store your converted text, the most sensitive thing you bring here never sits on our server in the first place.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you have strong rights over your data.

Users in India (DPDP Act, 2023)

Links to Other Websites

Our pages sometimes link to helpful outside resources, such as the Unicode Consortium or official exam websites. Those sites run their own privacy policies, so please read them before you share any information there.

Laws change, and our tools grow. When we update this policy, we change the “Last updated” date at the top. If we make a major change, we also show a notice on the homepage.
