To connect to our secure conversion servers and load ads via Google AdMob.
b. Device Identifiers (Fingerprint)
When you initiate an image conversion, we collect a device fingerprint (non-personal device metadata) to:
- Enforce fair use and conversion limits
- Prevent abuse of our online services
We do not link this fingerprint to your identity, and it’s used only temporarily during conversion.
