17. Document Converter and File Processing
Lacude provides document conversion and file-processing tools that allow users to upload supported documents and generate files in other formats.
When you use these tools, we may process:
- Uploaded documents and their contents
- File sizes and technical metadata
- Generated or converted documents
- Processing status and technical error information
Files are processed for the purpose of performing the conversion requested by the user.
Uploaded documents and generated files may be temporarily stored on Lacude's hosting infrastructure while the conversion process is performed and the resulting files are made available.
Lacude does not claim ownership of documents submitted for conversion.
Users should avoid uploading confidential, highly sensitive, or legally restricted information unless they understand the risks associated with online file processing.
18. Temporary File Storage and Automatic Deletion
Lacude operates an automated cleanup system for temporary files generated or stored through its document conversion tools.
The document conversion cleanup scheduler currently operates on a 24-hour cycle.
This does not necessarily mean that every uploaded or converted file is deleted exactly 24 hours after its creation. Actual deletion may depend on the applicable retention rules, scheduled cleanup execution, technical conditions, and legal requirements.
Users should download their converted files promptly and maintain their own backups of important documents.
We aim to retain temporary conversion files only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the requested service.
Deletion from active storage may not immediately remove information retained in backups or technical logs, where applicable.
19. Video Library and Media Management
Lacude may provide video upload, storage, playback, management, and deletion features to authorized users.
When these features are used, we may process:
- Uploaded video files
- Video titles and descriptions, where provided
- Original and stored filenames
- File sizes and formats
- File paths and associated metadata
- Video thumbnails or poster images
- Upload dates and uploader information
- Video status and deletion-related timestamps
Access to video management functions may be restricted to administrators or users with appropriate permissions.
Videos may remain stored while active. When an authorized user moves a video to trash, the video and associated records may be retained temporarily before permanent deletion.
The Video Library currently uses a 30-day trash-retention setting.
This setting applies to videos placed in trash and does not mean that every uploaded video is automatically deleted after 30 days.
Actual deletion depends on the cleanup process, system operation, and applicable legal requirements.
20. Account Authentication and Password Recovery
Lacude may provide account access to authorized users for administration, content management, or other restricted website functions.
Account-related information may include names, usernames, email addresses, account roles, authentication information, and account activity relevant to security.
Passwords should be protected using appropriate security measures, including one-way hashing where implemented.
When a user requests a password reset, Lacude may generate a temporary, time-limited recovery link and send it to the email address associated with the account.
We may process technical information necessary to verify the request, prevent unauthorized access, and complete the password recovery process.
Users are responsible for keeping their account credentials confidential and should contact us if they suspect unauthorized access.
21. Website Tools, Technical Logs, and Service Changes
When visitors or authorized users access Lacude's website tools, certain technical information may be processed to operate, secure, maintain, and troubleshoot those services.
Depending on the tool and system configuration, this information may include:
- IP addresses
- Browser and device information
- Request timestamps
- File-processing status
- Error and diagnostic logs
- Security-related events
This information may be used to investigate technical failures, prevent misuse, maintain website performance, and protect the security of Lacude and its users.
Lacude may introduce, modify, suspend, or discontinue tools and related services.
Where a change materially affects how personal information is collected, used, stored, or shared, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide additional notice or obtain consent where required by applicable law.
