Our Privacy Commitment

Last Updated: December 2024

1. No Data Collection

Punjab Investigation Tools is designed with a zero data collection policy. We do not collect, store, transmit, or process any of your files, data, or personal information on our servers.

All processing happens 100% locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

2. Client-Side Processing

Every tool on this platform operates entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. This means:

  • Files you analyze are processed locally on your device
  • Hash values are computed in your browser
  • No files are uploaded to any server
  • No network requests are made with your data
  • Closing the browser tab removes all processed data

3. No Cookies for Tracking

We do not use cookies, local storage, or any other mechanism to track your usage or store personal information. The platform functions without any persistent storage of user data.

4. External Resources

Our platform loads the following external resources for functionality:

  • Google Fonts - For typography (Inter, JetBrains Mono)
  • Font Awesome - For icons
  • CDN Libraries - hash-wasm, PDF.js, EXIF.js, Chart.js, PapaParse

These services may have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them if you have concerns.

5. Evidence Confidentiality

We understand that investigation tools may be used with sensitive evidence. Our architecture ensures:

  • Complete confidentiality of all files processed
  • No logs or records of tool usage
  • No ability for us to access your data
  • Compliance with evidence handling best practices

6. Open Source Transparency

This platform is open source. You can inspect the code yourself to verify our privacy claims. All processing logic is visible in the browser's developer tools.

7. Third-Party Links

Our tools may contain links to official government portals (e.g., UIDAI, CEIR). These external sites have their own privacy policies which we do not control.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date.
