This tool stores your consent preference in your browser's local storage. No personal information is collected or stored on our servers beyond the files you upload for validation.

Uploaded files are automatically deleted after processing, typically within 24 hours. We maintain anonymized logs for statistical purposes and to improve our service.

4. User Rights

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access any personal data we hold about you
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to processing of your data
• Withdraw consent at any time

5. Self-Hosted Option

If you prefer not to upload your content to our servers, a self-hosted version of this tool is available. You can install and run the validation tool locally on your own infrastructure.

• Download and installation instructions are available at: https://github.com/Dash-Industry-Forum/DASH-IF-Conformance/wiki/Installation–guide
