Privacy policy

TabShed (tabshed.com, formerly doitconnect.com) offers free tools that run in your web browser. This policy explains what happens to your files and data when you use the site, which cookies are used and the choices you have. Questions: doodlecub.com@gmail.com.

Your files stay on your device

The tools process images, PDFs, audio, video and text inside your browser. Your files are not uploaded to our servers and we cannot see them. When you close the tab, the tool forgets them unless you chose to keep them (see below).

Data saved in your browser

Some tools let you keep your work on this device: documents in the PDF editor, saved signatures, files in the share folder of Transfer Files Between Devices, your theme and your cookie choices. They are stored in your browser (IndexedDB and localStorage), never on our servers, and are not synced to other devices. You can see and delete all of them on the Local storage page, or by clearing this site's data in your browser.

Sending files between your devices

Send to phone, Transfer Files Between Devices and Phone as Webcam connect two of your devices directly (WebRTC, peer to peer). The files, camera picture and sound go straight from one device to the other and never pass through our servers. To start the connection, the two browsers exchange a small technical message (network addresses and encryption fingerprints, no file content) through our server; it is deleted automatically within 10 minutes. The connection uses a public STUN server operated by Google to find a direct route between the devices.

Cookies and advertising

TabShed is free because it shows ads. Ads are provided by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and 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 can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ad Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies at aboutads.info (in Europe: youronlinechoices.eu).
• How Google uses information from sites that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
• Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalised ads or analytics cookies are used (Google Consent Mode; until you agree, these are off).

You can change your choices at any time:

Cookie settings

Analytics

We use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to count visits and see which tools are used, so we know what to improve. They collect usage information such as pages viewed, device and browser type and approximate location, with cookies or similar technology. We never send file names or file contents to analytics. You can turn analytics off in Cookie settings or with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

What we collect and why

• No account is needed and we do not ask for your name or email to use the tools.
• Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (IP address, browser, pages requested, time) for security and to keep the site running.
• If you email us, we use your address and message only to reply.
• We do not sell your personal information.

Children

TabShed is a general-audience website and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in Europe or state laws in the United States such as the CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information, to object to or limit its use, and to withdraw consent. Because your files and saved work stay in your own browser, you control them directly. For anything else, write to doodlecub.com@gmail.com.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the site changes. The date at the top shows the latest version. Apps made by our studio have their own policies on doodlecub.com.
