Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 22, 2025
At Deep OCR Hub ("we," "us," or "our"), we are committed to protecting your privacy while providing a free, DeepSeek OCR-powered platform for advanced text extraction from images and PDFs (the "Services"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your data when you use deepocrhub.com, including our Deep OCR tool and tutorials. It complies with global standards like GDPR and China's Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL).
1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal data to provide the Services:
- Uploaded Files: Images, PDFs, or documents you upload to our Deep OCR tool for text extraction. These are processed temporarily and not stored beyond 24 hours.
- Usage Data: Non-personal data like browser type, IP address, device information, and pages visited, collected via analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to improve the Services.
- Contact Information: If you reach out via email (karaokemaker.online@gmail.com), we collect your name, email, and message content. We do not require user accounts or collect personal identifiers unless you voluntarily provide them.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your data solely to:
- Provide Services: Process uploaded files using DeepSeek OCR to extract text, generate structured outputs (e.g., Markdown tables), and display results.
- Improve Functionality: Analyze usage data to optimize the Deep OCR tool's performance, speed, and accuracy (e.g., 97% accuracy on complex layouts per Hugging Face benchmarks).
- Respond to Inquiries: Address your questions or feedback sent via email.
- Analytics: Understand user behavior (e.g., time spent on Deep OCR demo) to enhance tutorials and features.
3. Data Storage and Security
- Temporary Processing: Uploaded files are processed in real-time by DeepSeek OCR and deleted within 24 hours. No permanent storage occurs on our servers.
- Encryption: All data transfers use HTTPS encryption. Our servers (hosted in [e.g., Hong Kong]) comply with industry-standard security protocols.
- Open-Source Model: DeepSeek OCR is open-source (Apache 2.0 license). If you self-host, no data is sent to us.
- Risk Mitigation: We regularly audit for vulnerabilities (aligned with GitHub security practices for DeepSeek OCR) to protect against unauthorized access.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, share, or disclose your data, except:
- Service Providers: Trusted third parties (e.g., cloud hosting for processing) bound by confidentiality agreements and compliant with GDPR/PIPL.
- Legal Obligations: If required by law (e.g., court order), we may disclose data to authorities, but only to the minimum extent necessary.
- Analytics: Aggregated, anonymized usage data may be shared with tools like Google Analytics for site improvement.
5. Your Rights
Under GDPR, PIPL, and similar laws, you have rights to:
- Access: Request details of your data we process (minimal, as we don't store uploads).
- Deletion: Request deletion of any contact data (e.g., emails sent to us).
- Objection: Opt out of non-essential data collection (e.g., analytics via browser settings). To exercise these rights, contact us at karaokemaker.online@gmail.com. We respond within 30 days.
6. Third-Party Links
Deep OCR Hub may link to external sites (e.g., DeepSeek OCR GitHub, Hugging Face). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies before use.
7. Cookies and Tracking
We use minimal cookies for essential functions (e.g., session management) and analytics (e.g., Google Analytics). You can disable cookies via browser settings, but this may affect the Deep OCR tool's functionality. No tracking for advertising purposes.
8. Children's Privacy
Our Services are not intended for users under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe we have such data, contact us immediately at karaokemaker.online@gmail.com.
9. Changes to This Policy
