Privacy Policy
InvoiceMeForFree (invoicemeforfree.com) is a free invoice, quote, estimate and receipt maker that runs in your web browser. This page explains what data is involved when you use it, where it goes, and the choices you have. We've written it in plain language on purpose.
- Your invoices never leave your device. Everything you type (your business, clients, items, amounts, logos and templates) is stored only in your own browser. We can't see it.
- No account, no sign-up and no email are required to use the app.
- We measure anonymous usage (for example "a PDF was downloaded") with Google Analytics and Google Ads to understand and promote the site. We never send what's inside your invoices.
- If you choose to leave a tip, Stripe processes the payment. We never see your card details.
- We don't sell your personal information.
1. Data you create in the app (stays on your device)
Invoices, quotes, estimates and receipts, together with client details, line items, saved logos, templates and settings, are stored in your browser's local storage and IndexedDB on the device you're using. They are not uploaded to our servers, and the PDFs you download are generated on your device. Because this data lives only in your browser:
- Clearing your browser data, or using a private/incognito window, deletes it. Use Backup & Sync → Export Brand & History (.json) to keep a copy.
- A PDF downloaded from the app contains a compressed copy of that invoice's data, so you can drop it back on the site to edit it. Anyone you send the PDF to receives that data, the same as the visible invoice.
- The optional "Copy My Template URL" link contains your business details (not your logo or invoices) in the link itself. Only share it with people you trust.
2. Usage measurement (Google Analytics & Google Ads)
We use Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads conversion measurement to count visits and to know when someone downloads or prints a document, so we can see which ads and pages are useful. When these are active, Google receives standard technical information (such as your IP address, browser and device type, approximate location, the page address and how you arrived), plus these events:
invoice_downloaded, with only the method (PDF or print) and the document type (invoice, quote, estimate or receipt).- A Google Ads
conversionwhen you arrived from one of our ads.
We never send invoice contents, amounts, client names or anything you type. Google signals and ad personalization
(remarketing) are turned off. Google may set cookies such as _ga and _gcl_* for this measurement.
Visitors in the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland: analytics and advertising cookies are disabled by default, and Google receives only cookieless signals without identifiers. You can also block measurement anywhere with a browser privacy setting, an ad blocker, or Google's Analytics opt-out add-on. Google's use of data is described at How Google uses information from sites that use its services.
3. Tips ("buy the maker a coffee")
Tipping is optional and never unlocks features. If you tip, you're taken to a checkout page run by Stripe, which processes the payment. We never see or store your card number. Stripe shares with us the details needed to record the payment, such as your name, email address, amount, currency and country, and we keep these for accounting and tax purposes. Stripe may also offer Link or Klarna, each under its own privacy policy.
4. Reviews
If you submit a review, it includes the name, optional business name, rating and text you enter, and the number of invoices made in your browser. Reviews are intended to be shown publicly on this site, and you confirm that when you submit. At the moment, submitted reviews are stored only in your own browser. If we start publishing them from a server, this page will be updated first. To have a review removed, email us.
5. Hosting and fonts
- Netlify hosts this site. Like any web host, it processes technical request data (such as IP address and browser) to deliver pages and protect against abuse. See Netlify's privacy policy.
- Google Fonts serves the typefaces, so your browser contacts Google's font servers when the page loads. See Google Fonts privacy.

- Delete your app data at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser settings. Nothing is kept on our side.

Depending on where you live (for example under Canada's PIPEDA, the EU/UK GDPR or California's CCPA), you may have additional rights, including the right to complain to your local data-protection authority.
- We don't sell or rent personal information, and we don't use it for targeted advertising.
