Privacy Policy

Last updated: 10 October 2026

Who we are

USD Converter (usdconverter.com) is published by Yorker Media, a digital media business based in India. In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" mean Yorker Media.

We decide why and how personal data collected through this website is used. That makes us the controller under the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Fiduciary under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.

Questions about this policy or your data: e-mail [email protected] with "Privacy" in the subject line.

The short version

We never sell your name or e-mail address.
Ads on this site are served by Google AdSense. They use cookies; where the law requires it, they ask for your consent first.
You can ask us for a copy of your data, or to correct or delete it.

What we collect and why

When you visit any page

Like every website, our servers receive your IP address, browser type, device and operating system, the page you asked for, the page that sent you here (the "referrer") and the date and time. Our hosting providers and Cloudflare (our content delivery and security network) use this to deliver the page, keep the site available and block attacks and automated abuse.

Google Analytics

We also use Google Analytics 4, a service of Google LLC, to understand how visitors use the site. It sets cookies (names starting with _ga) and sends Google information about your device and the pages you view. Google says Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy. You can block it with Google's opt-out add-on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Advertising

USD Converter is free to read because it shows ads. Our advertising partners use cookies, pixels and similar technologies to show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, measure results and prevent ad fraud. Where you allow it, they also show ads based on your interests. That can include data about your visits to this and other websites, your IP address, your device and browser, and your approximate location.

Google

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's My Ad Center, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info. Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

When you contact us

If you e-mail us or use a contact form, we receive your name, e-mail address and whatever you write. We use it to reply and keep the conversation so we can follow up.

Our legal grounds (GDPR)

If the GDPR applies to you, these are the grounds we rely on:

What	Legal ground
Personalised ads and the ad partners' cookies	Your consent, where the law requires it (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland); otherwise our legitimate interest in funding the site with advertising
Visitor statistics	Our legitimate interest in understanding which pages help readers
Security, preventing abuse and fraud	Our legitimate interest in keeping the site and its readers safe
Replying to messages	Our legitimate interest in answering you

Hosting and delivery: Hetzner Online and Leaseweb (our servers) and Cloudflare (content delivery and security).
Advertising: Google AdSense and the advertising partners they work with, as described above.
Analytics: Google (Google Analytics).
Advisers and authorities: our accountants and lawyers when needed, and public authorities when the law requires us to share data.

We do not sell your name, e-mail address or account details. Under some US state laws, letting advertising partners collect data through cookies for interest-based ads counts as "selling" or "sharing" personal information. You can opt out of that as described under Your rights.

International transfers

We are based in India. Our websites run on servers in the United States, our visitor statistics are stored on servers in Germany (plus an older copy on our US server until it is moved), our backups are kept in Germany and with Cloudflare R2, which may store them outside the EU under Cloudflare's terms, and several of our providers (such as Cloudflare, Google and Amazon Web Services) are based in the United States. So your data may be processed outside the country where you live. When data from the EEA, the UK or Switzerland goes to a country without an adequacy decision, we rely on our providers' Standard Contractual Clauses or their certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

How long we keep data

Our web servers' access logs, which include IP addresses: kept on our servers for at most 60 days, except a few older log files from August 2026, which we also keep. Copies of these logs are also kept in our backups, and we do not delete those copies.
Messages to us: only as long as we need them for the purposes above.

Your choices and rights

Ads and cookies: make or change your choice in the consent tool provided by our advertising partner. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser. If you opt out, you will still see ads, but they will not be personalised.
Google ads: turn off personalised Google ads at myadcenter.google.com.
Other ad companies: industry opt-out pages at optout.aboutads.info, optout.networkadvertising.org and, in Europe, youronlinechoices.eu.
Global Privacy Control: our own statistics do not run when your browser sends GPC. Our advertising partners' consent tools treat GPC as an opt-out of sale or sharing where they support it.

Your rights. Depending on where you live, you can ask us to:

tell you what personal data we hold about you and give you a copy;
correct it;
delete it;
restrict or object to how we use it;
send it to you or another service in a portable format;
withdraw a consent you gave (this doesn't affect what we did before).

EEA and UK: you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
California and other US states with privacy laws: you have the right to know, delete and correct your data, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information and of targeted advertising. We will not treat you differently for using these rights.
India: you can also nominate someone to exercise your rights if you die or become unable to. If we don't resolve a complaint, you can take it to the Data Protection Board of India.

To use any of these rights, e-mail [email protected]. We may ask you to confirm your identity first. We reply within one month. If a request is complex we may need longer, and we will tell you why. You can also act through an authorised agent.

Children

This site is meant for adults. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children: under 13 in the United States, under 16 in the EEA and the UK, or under 18 in India. If you believe a child has given us personal data, e-mail us and we will delete it.

Security

The whole site runs over encrypted HTTPS. Access to our servers and tools is limited to the people who need it and is protected with passkeys and other strong sign-in methods. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your data and fix problems quickly.

Changes to this policy

When we change how we handle data, we update this page and the date at the top. If the change is significant, we will say so clearly on this page.
