2. Purpose and Legal Basis
needed.tools offers various micro-utilities (e.g. PDF Studio, SVG-to-DXF, QR generators). To deliver these services we process the information you submit as well as the technical connection data required to run the platform. Legal bases are Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in secure, reliable operation).
3. Processing of Uploaded Files
All uploaded content (including PDFs, SVGs, contact data for QR codes) is processed exclusively in memory. No persistent storage occurs on server disks. Output files (such as converted or compressed PDFs) are provided for download and discarded afterwards.
4. Derived Data and Error Logs
To troubleshoot technical issues we may capture temporary log entries containing file names, timestamps, and status codes. These logs do not include the document contents, are used solely for debugging, and are deleted afterwards.
5. Server Log Files
When you access the site, the server automatically records IP address, date and time, requested resource, and user agent. The data is required for system security and is deleted after a maximum of 7 days. No further analysis takes place.
