Privacy Policy

Last Updated: · Version 2.0

1. Who We Are

ConvertToAirFryer.com ("we," "us," "our") is operated by DigiCatalyst Systems, located in Ontario, Canada. We are the data controller for personal information collected through this website. For privacy questions, contact our Privacy Officer at support@converttoairfryer.com .

2. Information We Collect

We collect limited information to operate, secure, and improve the Site:

  • Server log data: IP address, browser type, device type, ISP, referring/exit pages, date/time, click data. Collected automatically by our hosting provider. Retained up to 90 days for security and troubleshooting.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: see Section 4.
  • Advertising data: collected by Google and other ad partners via cookies and identifiers (see Section 5).
  • Affiliate link clicks: we collect nothing when you follow a link marked "Ad". The affiliate program or seller records the click on its own site (see Section 6). The reports we receive show clicks, orders and commissions by link, without your name or contact details.
  • Communications: if you email us, we retain the email and your address only as long as needed to respond.

We do not retain Sensitive Personal Information (as defined by the CPRA). Our advertising partners and the affiliate programs in Section 6 are independent controllers for any data they collect through their own cookies and identifiers. The Site is not directed to children (see Section 12).

3. Lawful Bases (EEA/UK Visitors)

We process personal data under the following GDPR Article 6 bases:

  • Consent: for non-essential cookies, personalized advertising, and similar technologies.
  • Legitimate interests: for site security, fraud prevention, aggregate analytics, and placing affiliate links (see Section 6).
  • Legal obligation: where we must retain data to comply with applicable law.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use the following categories of cookies and browser-storage technologies:

  • Consent tool cookies: FCCDCF and FCNEC are set on this domain by Google's consent tool (Google Privacy & messaging) when a page first loads, before you interact with anything. Google's cookie list at business.safety.google/adscookies files FCCDCF under Functionality with a 13-month lifespan and FCNEC under Analytics with a 365-day lifespan, both for its consent tool (named Funding Choices in that list).
  • Advertising cookies: set by Google and its partners when ads are shown; they require consent in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland. Our analytics tool, Cloudflare Web Analytics, sets no cookies.
  • Affiliate cookies: this site sets none. If you follow a link marked "Ad", the affiliate program or seller may set its own cookies on its own domain (see Section 6).
  • Local browser storage: we use your browser's local storage (a storage area on your device that is not a cookie) for two things: your light or dark theme choice and, where the converter shows a list of recent conversions, your last five conversions (the temperature, time and unit you entered and the oven and air fryer type you chose). Both stay on your device. They are never sent to us or to anyone else, contain no identifier or tracking information, and are deleted when you clear this site's data in your browser. We treat them as strictly necessary for the interface and the converter features you use.
  • Offline copy of the converter: where the site offers offline use, a service worker (a small script your browser runs for this site) keeps a copy of the converter page and its scripts in your browser's cache, so the converter opens without a connection. The copy holds only this site's own files and nothing about you, and clearing this site's data removes it. Installing the site as an app on your device adds nothing to this.
  • Third-party advertising cookie names: Google AdSense and its partners may set cookies named (non-exhaustive) IDE, NID, ANID, _gcl_au, and identifiers under the gads / __gads namespace. Names and expiries are documented in Google's published cookie list at https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies. We do not control these cookies; they are governed by Google's privacy policy.

Visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland see a consent message from Google's consent tool, a Google-certified Consent Management Platform that follows IAB TCF v2.3. For these visitors, no advertising cookies are set before you give consent in that message, and the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer reopens it so you can withdraw or change your consent at any time. Everywhere else, including Canada and the United States, no consent message is shown and "Cookie Settings" brings you to this section. Visitors in the US states covered by Google's consent tool also have the opt-out dialog described in Section 9. Outside the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, turn off personalized ads with Google's Ad Settings (adssettings.google.com), the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out in the United States (optout.aboutads.info), the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada's WebChoices tool in Canada (youradchoices.ca/en/webchoices), or your browser's third-party cookie controls.

5. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies and identifiers to serve ads on this Site based on your visits here and elsewhere on the Internet. Google's and its partners' use of advertising technologies is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites .

7. International Transfers

Our ad partners, including Google, process personal data in the United States and other jurisdictions. Cloudflare, which hosts the Site and runs its analytics, also processes data in the United States and other jurisdictions. Where EU/UK personal data is transferred outside the EEA/UK, we rely on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and, for US transfers, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Google's DPF certification covers AdSense data flows, and Cloudflare is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, its UK Extension and the Swiss-US Data Privacy Framework. When you follow an affiliate link, your browser sends data straight to the affiliate program, which may process it in the United States or elsewhere under its own notice (see Section 6); we transfer nothing to it. A copy of the safeguards is available on request.

8. Your Rights: European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland

You have the right to:

  • Access your personal data and receive a copy.
  • Rectify inaccurate personal data.
  • Erase personal data ("right to be forgotten").
  • Restrict processing in specified circumstances.
  • Data portability: receive data in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Object to processing based on legitimate interests.
  • Withdraw consent at any time (without affecting prior lawful processing).
  • Object to automated decisions: you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produces legal or similarly significant effects. AdSense personalization does not produce such effects. You can still turn it off at any time: in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, the Cookie Settings link in the footer reopens Google's consent message, where you can withdraw consent to personalized ads.

You may lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. For example, the UK ICO at ico.org.uk .

We respond to verifiable requests within 30 days; complex requests may be extended by up to 60 additional days with notice.

9. Your Rights: California (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents have the right to:

  • Know the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect, the sources, the business purposes, and third-party recipients.
  • Delete personal information, subject to exceptions.
  • Correct inaccurate personal information.
  • Opt out of sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information for money; however, our use of Google AdSense to serve personalized ads may qualify as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CPRA. You may opt out through the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link in the footer: in the US states covered by Google's consent tool, it opens Google's opt-out dialog (once you have opted out, it brings you here instead); everywhere else it brings you to this section. Google states that it honors the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal on its ad requests for users in the US states it lists; California is not on that list as of this policy's date, so use the footer link. The personal information handled for us (server logs, aggregate analytics and any emails you send us) is not sold or shared, so there is nothing of ours for a GPC signal to switch off.
  • Limit use of Sensitive Personal Information: we do not retain SPI. Our advertising partners are independent controllers for any data they collect.
  • Non-discrimination: we will not deny service, charge different prices, or provide a lesser experience for exercising your rights.

We acknowledge requests within 10 business days and respond within 45 calendar days (extendable by 60 days with notice). Submit requests to support@converttoairfryer.com .

Categories of personal information disclosed for a business purpose in the past 12 months: identifiers (IP address, device identifiers), internet/electronic activity (browsing on this Site), inference data (approximate location, interests). Disclosed to: Cloudflare (hosting, through Cloudflare Workers static assets), Google (AdSense advertising and its consent tool), and Cloudflare Web Analytics (aggregate page analytics that uses no cookies).

10. Canadian Visitors (PIPEDA / Quebec Law 25)

We process personal information in accordance with PIPEDA and, for Quebec residents, Law 25. Our designated Privacy Officer is Kaustubh Ghodke, reachable at support@converttoairfryer.com . You can ask to access, correct or delete your personal information, and you can withdraw your consent at any time using the controls described below. We respond to requests within 30 days. Withdrawing consent to personalized advertising means Google stops personalizing the ads it shows you; non-personalized ads may still appear. You also have the right to complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca or, for Quebec residents, the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec.

Quebec Law 25 (section 8.1 of the Act respecting the protection of personal information in the private sector): when this Site shows ads, Google's advertising technology on the page can profile you, which means inferring your interests from your browsing on this and other sites, to choose the ads you see. The technology is Google's and runs when a page with ads loads. You can turn this profiling off with Google's Ad Settings at adssettings.google.com, with the Digital Advertising Alliance of Canada's WebChoices tool at youradchoices.ca/en/webchoices (which opts your browser out of interest-based ads from participating companies), or with your browser's third-party cookie controls, and back on again in Google's Ad Settings. The "Cookie Settings" link in the footer opens a consent dialog only where a regional consent message applies (the EEA, the UK and Switzerland); everywhere else, Canada included, it brings you to Section 4 of this policy.

11. Security

We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures (including TLS encryption in transit, restricted administrative access, and regular security updates) to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

12. Children

This Site is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA, subject to member-state law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Log file data: up to 90 days. Analytics data: Cloudflare Web Analytics keeps complete page-view data for 7 days, then aggregates it down to about 10 percent, which stays viewable for six months.

14. Breach Notification

We maintain an incident response process. In the event of a personal data breach that poses a risk to rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority (within 72 hours under GDPR) and affected individuals as required by applicable law. Under PIPEDA, we will also notify the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and affected individuals of any breach of security safeguards involving real risk of significant harm, and maintain breach records as required by the Breach of Security Safeguards Regulations.

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Each change is listed below with its date and version, and the "Last Updated" date at the top moves with it. Before October 17, 2026, changes were marked by that date alone; that earlier text counts as version 1.

Version history

  • October 17, 2026, version 2.0: New Section 6 on affiliate links names the five programs a link marked "Ad" can go through (Amazon Associates, Sovrn Commerce, Impact, Awin and CJ) with what each says it collects, how long it keeps it and how to opt out. Section 2 adds affiliate link clicks. Section 4 adds affiliate cookies, describes the converter's recent-conversions list in local storage and adds the offline copy of the converter. Former Sections 6 to 15 are now 7 to 16.
