Privacy policy

DRAFT for the site owner to review before launch. This is not legal advice; check it against the laws that apply to you.

This policy explains what information PrintNicely (https://printnicely.com) handles and how. The short version: the files you use with our tools never leave your browser, and we don’t ask you to create an account.

1. Files you load into our tools

When you use a tool (for example, the calendar printer), the file you choose is read by JavaScript running in your own browser. It is not uploaded to our servers or to anyone else, and we never see its contents. Event details, contacts or other data in your files stay on your device. When you close or reload the page, they are gone.

Some tools remember your settings (such as paper size or layout) in your browser’s local storage so they are ready next time. These settings never include the contents of your files, and you can clear them at any time by clearing your browser’s site data.

Calendar links

If you paste a calendar link (for example a webcal:// or .ics link) instead of adding a file, your browser sends that link to our server, which downloads the calendar and passes it straight back to your browser. Browsers can’t download most calendar links themselves, which is why this one step uses our server. The link and the calendar pass through only for that request: they are not stored, cached or logged, and the link is sent in the request body, never in a web address. Private calendar links (such as Google Calendar’s “secret address”) give access to your calendar, so only paste links you are comfortable using this way; adding a downloaded file instead keeps everything in your browser.

2. Analytics

We may use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits and see which pages are useful. It does not set cookies, does not track you across other websites, and receives no data from your files. It records basic information such as the page visited, the referring site, and your browser type and country.

3. Advertising and cookies

This section applies once advertising is enabled on the site.

We may show ads on our guide pages, served by Google AdSense, to cover the cost of running the site. Ads are never shown on your printouts, and ad services never receive the contents of your files.

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this 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 this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings . You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info .
• Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalized ads or advertising cookies are used, through a consent message.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services .

4. Affiliate links

Some pages may include links to products, such as planners or printer supplies. If you buy through one of these links we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are labelled and never appear on your printouts.

5. Connecting your Google account (future feature)

This section will apply once we offer an optional “Connect Google Calendar” button.

If you choose to connect your Google account, we request read-only access to your list of calendars and their events. Your browser fetches this data directly from Google and uses it only to display and print your calendar on your device. It is not sent to our servers, not stored after you close the page, not shared with anyone, and not used for advertising. You can disconnect at any time from the tool, or remove access in your Google Account’s security settings.

PrintNicely’s use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy , including the Limited Use requirements.

6. Emails you send us

If you email us, we use your message and email address only to reply and to improve the site. We don’t sell or share it.

7. Hosting and server logs

The site is served by our hosting provider, which may keep short-lived technical logs (such as IP address and requested page) for security and to keep the site running. These logs never include the contents of files you use in our tools.

8. Children

The site is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information.

9. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Significant changes will be noted on this page.
