Source Access, Permissions & Website Privacy

Document links and source access

When you convert a sharing link, the server receives that URL and contacts the source service to retrieve the document or its public page images. It cannot use your signed-in browser session. Source services receive those retrieval requests and may log them under their own policies.

A DocSend conversion may use a fresh anonymous source cookie for that conversion, restricted to the source origin. DeckExport does not ask for your source-platform password or signed-in browser cookies.

Hosting and website analytics

Cloudflare hosts the site. The website includes Cloudflare’s Web Analytics beacon to measure page visits and performance. Cloudflare describes the analytics service here; its privacy policy explains its broader data handling.

Ordinary network and hosting data may be processed to serve and protect the website. DeckExport does not send document contents to the analytics beacon as application event data. We do not claim that a visit or source retrieval is anonymous or untracked.

The Google PDF-link generator is different

The link generator builds a URL in your browser. Generating a link does not fetch, or convert a document. Its Open in Google action takes you directly to Google, where your browser session and the source permissions apply.
