Privacy policy
Local-First Security (English)
Your privacy is our core priority. Sensitive client tools (specifically the NIC Card Extractor, Name Format Converter, and QR Code Generator) process all details directly in your browser. None of the text, spreadsheets, or NIC numbers you input in these tools are sent to or stored on our servers.
Data Privacy Summary
We protect your privacy as a core priority. The NIC Card Extractor, Name Format Converter, and QR Code Generator tools process your input entirely within your browser, so your information is not transmitted to or stored on our servers.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide a better experience on the EZOFZ.LK platform. This information is classified as follows:
- Account Registration Data: When you register on the portal, we collect your name, email address, password, and optional details (such as police/legal station identification) to provide customized dashboards.
- User Scenarios for AI Assistant: To draft B-Reports or lookup statutes, the text queries or descriptions you submit are processed dynamically.
- Log Data: We automatically log standard server information, including IP addresses, browser types, referral URLs, and pages visited, for security audit purposes.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following business and development purposes:
- Providing and managing your user profile, active sessions, and access permissions.
- Processing AI requests (via verified APIs like Google AI SDK) to generate Penal Code lists and B-Report drafts.
- Improving our UI system, monitoring site speed, and troubleshooting code faults.
- Preventing malicious misuse, registration spam, and denial-of-service (DoS) attempts.
3. Local-First Browser Processing
To respect the privacy of confidential office and citizen data, we implement a strict local-first architecture for several tools:
When you use the **Name Converter** (converting full names to initials and bulk uploading Excel sheets), the **NIC Card Extractor**, or the **QR Code Generator**, all code parsing and mathematical calculations are executed inside your browser. No files, names, initials, or NIC codes are uploaded to EZOFZ.LK servers.
Consequently, we do not store, scan, or log any personal information processed through these office utility components.
4. Third-Party Services
To run our free platform, we integrate select trusted third-party solutions:
- Google AdSense: We display advertisements to support hosting fees. Google AdSense may use cookies to serve personalized advertisements based on your browsing patterns.
- Google Analytics: We track visitor counts, demographic country tags (Sri Lanka, etc.), and feature usage metrics to focus on popular tools.
- OpenAI / Google Gemini API: The AI Legal Assistant forwards user-submitted descriptive queries to secure generative AI endpoints. No profile data (e.g. your login email) is ever passed to these API layers.
5. Data Retention & Erasure
We retain user account information (profile name, encrypted password, email) for as long as your account is active.
You have the absolute right to delete your profile at any time. To request deletion of your account and all associated profile listings, you can email us directly. Once processed, your account credentials will be permanently erased from our databases.
6. Security Protocols
We implement industry-standard database encryption, secure HTTPS pathways, and modern coding checks to keep your account safe.
However, please remember that no transfer protocol over the internet is completely flawless. We recommend utilizing strong, unique passwords and avoiding reusing credentials on multiple platforms.
