Privacy policy

Last updated November 9, 2026

This policy explains what Readily (“we”) collects, why, and the choices you have. In short: most tools never upload your files; AI tools that need our servers only receive what they need, keep it for at most 24 hours, and never use it to train AI.

1. Tools that run on your device

The 20 everyday tools and the on-device Basic tools (voice noise remover, background remover, photo upscaler, object eraser, searchable scans, protect and unlock PDF, remove silences and PDF to Word) run entirely in your web browser. Your file is read and processed on your device and is never sent to us. To make these tools work, your browser downloads Readily's own code and AI models; some language data for text recognition is downloaded from the public tessdata mirror on jsDelivr. These downloads contain no information about your files.

2. AI tools that run on our servers

Some tools need powerful AI that can't run on a phone or laptop. Each of these tools is labelled on its page, and only works when you're signed in and press the button. When you use one:

• Only what's needed is sent. Document tools send the text of your document, read on your device, not the file. Voice and subtitle tools send only the sound, converted on your device. Photo and video tools send the photo or video.
• It's private. Files are stored in a private area only your account can reach, and passed to the AI provider over an encrypted connection.
• It's deleted. The file you send is deleted as soon as the job finishes. The result is kept for 24 hours so you can download it, then deleted. We keep a record of the job (which tool, when, credits used, and whether it worked) for your history and billing, but not the file or its contents.
• It isn't used for training. We don't train AI on your files, and our AI providers process them only to give you the result, under agreements that don't allow them to train on it.

3. Your account

Using Readily never requires an account. If you create one, we store your email address, your name if you give it, your plan, your credit balance, and a password protected by our sign-in provider. While you're signed in, your dashboard records which tool you used and the names and sizes of the results, never the files themselves. Free accounts keep this history for 30 days; paid plans keep it until you clear it.

A file is only stored in your account when you press “Save to my files”. You can delete saved files, clear your history, or delete your whole account at any time from your dashboard. Deleting your account removes your saved files, history, AI job records and profile. We keep payment records that the law requires (such as invoices) in Stripe.

4. Payments

Payments are handled by Stripe. Your card details go straight to Stripe and never reach Readily. We receive your subscription status, plan, billing period and a customer reference so we can turn your plan on, and Stripe sends us notices when a payment succeeds, fails or a plan changes.

5. Who processes data for us

We use these service providers. Each only processes data to provide its part of Readily to you.

6. What the website itself receives

Like every website, the servers that deliver Readily see standard request information such as your IP address, browser type and the page you asked for. Our hosting provider may keep this in short-lived logs to keep the service running and secure.

To see which tools people find useful, Readily counts visits with its own simple counter, not a third-party analytics service. It keeps only daily totals: how many browsers visited, which pages were opened, which tools finished a result, and the website that linked to us (for example "google.com"). No cookies, IP addresses or account details are stored with these counts, so they can't be traced back to you. If your browser sends "Do Not Track" or Global Privacy Control, you aren't counted at all.

If you send feedback, we keep your message, the page you sent it from, and either your account or the email you chose to give, so we can fix problems and reply. Your files are never attached. Ask us any time to delete a message you sent.

7. Cookies and storage

Readily doesn't use advertising cookies or third-party trackers. If you sign in, your browser keeps a sign-in token so you stay signed in. We also remember a few small preferences on your device, such as when you last saw the sign-up reminder and the date of your last visit (so a visit is only counted once a day). Readily can save its own pages and code on your device so it opens quickly and works offline; this never includes your files.

8. Legal bases and your rights

We process account data to provide the service you asked for (contract), payment data to bill you and meet legal duties (contract and legal obligation), and security logs and visit totals to keep Readily safe and improve it (legitimate interest). Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your data, and to object to or restrict processing. You can do most of this yourself from your dashboard; for anything else, contact us at the address below. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

9. Children

Readily accounts are for people aged 16 and over. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.

10. Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top, and tell account holders by email about important changes. See also our terms and refund policy.
