Privacy notice
How EditLily handles and stores your files and usage information.
Last updated:
1. Operator and scope
This notice applies to editlily.com. Contact the EditLily operator at [email protected] with privacy questions.
No account is needed. We use the information below to process and download files, restore work, save settings, investigate errors and prevent abuse.
2. Files sent to the server
Server processing sends file contents, names, types, sizes and task settings to the server. Originals and results are stored temporarily for editing, downloading and use in another tool. Some tools also upload files to make previews.
Files are kept for one hour after a task ends, then removed by periodic cleanup. Downloads in progress or server problems may delay removal. Download results before they expire.
A temporary access token is stored in the current tab so you can return to server jobs. A separate tab or a new browser session may not show those jobs. Server sessions expire after two hours of inactivity.
3. Browser processing and device storage
File renaming, browser image editing and saving a video still do not upload the file to the processing server. Website requests and usage reporting may still occur. Files are uploaded if you switch to server processing or open them in a tool that needs the server.
Language, theme, processing preferences and presets are saved in cookies or browser storage. Language and theme cookies last one year. Settings can stay until you or the browser clear them. Restoring a tab can also restore its temporary access token.
Settings and originals within storage limits may be saved on your device in IndexedDB for recovery. Drafts are valid for 24 hours; files passed between tools are valid for one hour. Expired data is removed on later storage access, rather than as soon as you close the browser or reach the expiry time.
Delete saved work in the tool or clear site data in your browser to remove local data. This may also remove presets, drafts and access to server results. Delete downloaded files separately on your device.
4. Usage, errors and connection information
To investigate errors and monitor the service, we count task starts, completions, failures and cancellations by tool, along with error codes, processing times, file sizes and server resource use. Browser tools may send usage events separately from file contents. IP addresses are used to limit excessive requests and prevent abuse.
The app’s operational and error logs are configured to leave out file contents, user filenames and access tokens. Old server logs are replaced as the size limit is reached, so retention depends on how much is logged. External services may handle connection information separately; see their policies below.
5. Cloudflare and Google services
We use Cloudflare for connectivity and security. Website requests and server-processing uploads pass through Cloudflare, which may process IP addresses and request information. Traffic may pass through servers in other countries. Cloudflare Web Analytics measures performance such as page load time. See Cloudflare’s policy below.
We currently use only an AdSense ownership-verification meta tag, with no advertising scripts. Before starting ads, we will update this notice and any required consent flow for the settings used.
When Google ads are shown, Google and third-party ad providers may read or save cookies and use web beacons, IP addresses or other identifiers to deliver and measure ads, prevent abuse and, depending on settings, personalize ads. Google’s data-use information and ad settings are linked below.
6. Enquiries and changes
Email us with privacy questions or requests for access, correction or deletion. The operator cannot delete files stored only on your device; use your browser’s clear-site-data controls. Do not send sensitive originals or access tokens.
Your email address and message are used to review and answer your enquiry. The email provider’s policies also apply to delivery and storage. To request deletion of an enquiry, write to the same address.
We will update this page and its revision date when file processing or external services change.
Files passed between tools
