Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Commitment

At TAS File (accessible at tasfile.com), the privacy of our visitors is of paramount importance. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of personal and non-personal information recorded by TAS File and how we responsibly utilize, protect, and handle that information.

TAS File operates strictly as an independent third-party market research and analytics tool for digital microstock creators and Adobe Stock contributors. We do not require account registration or store sensitive personal information to utilize our core search features.

2. Information We Collect

• Log Files & Usage Metrics: Like many standard web applications, TAS File makes use of log files. The information inside includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. This data is not linked to any personally identifiable information and is used exclusively for site maintenance, trend analysis, and server load balancing.
• Local Browser Storage (Cookies & LocalStorage): We use browser localStorage to preserve your interface preferences (e.g. Dark Mode vs. Light Mode) and your encrypted user-provided API credentials. Your Apify API tokens remain strictly stored within your browser environment unless you explicitly initiate a search request.
• Public Search Queries: Search terms, author IDs, and filter options entered into our search bar are processed transiently to query public media catalog records.

3. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Vendors

Google is a third-party vendor on our site. Google uses cookies, commonly known as DoubleClick DART cookies, to serve advertisements to our site visitors based on their visit to tasfile.com and other websites across the internet.

• Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology in their advertisements and links that appear on TAS File, which are sent directly to your browser. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs.
• These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.
• You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy at the following URL: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

4. Third-Party Integrations & Apify API

TAS File provides users with the option to integrate their personal Apify API token to facilitate live scraping of publicly indexed Adobe Stock asset metrics. Your API tokens are managed via client-side storage and are transmitted through secure TLS 1.3 encrypted connections directly to Apify endpoints. TAS File does not resell, aggregate, or store your private API keys on unauthorized secondary databases.

5. GDPR & CCPA Data Rights

We ensure full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Under these regulations, users are entitled to:

• The right to access and inspect any records we hold concerning their session.
• The right to rectify inaccurate or incomplete information.
• The right to erasure ("Right to be Forgotten") of local session data by clearing your browser cache.
• The right to restrict or object to the automated processing of user metrics.

6. Children's Online Privacy Protection (COPPA)

TAS File is intended solely for professional microstock contributors and content creators. We do not knowingly collect or solicit any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child has submitted personal details on our site, please contact us immediately for immediate removal.
