1. The Short Version
onlinefileconverter performs every file conversion locally in your web browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, never transmitted across the internet, and never stored by us. We collect the bare minimum of analytics required to keep the site running and improving.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
- The contents of any file you convert.
- Filenames, file metadata, or thumbnails.
- Personal identifiers tied to your conversions.
Because conversions happen in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly, your file data physically cannot reach us.
3. Information We Do Collect
We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate site usage. This may include:
- Anonymous page-view counts and referring URLs.
- Browser type, operating system, and approximate region (country level).
- Which conversion types are most popular (e.g., "PNG to JPG"), without file data.
If you create an account, we store your email address and authentication credentials so you can sign in. We do not sell or share this information.
4. Cookies & Local Storage
We use a small number of cookies and browser local storage entries strictly to remember your preferences (such as theme), maintain your authenticated session, and count anonymous usage toward free-tier limits. No third-party advertising cookies are set.
5. Third-Party Services
We rely on a small number of trusted vendors for hosting, authentication, and analytics. These providers process only the metadata described above and are bound by their own privacy commitments. We do not share your file contents with any third party because we never have your file contents to share.
6. Data Retention
Files processed in your browser are held only in your device's memory and are released as soon as you close the tab or refresh. Account data is retained for as long as your account exists; you may delete it at any time by contacting us.
7. Children's Privacy
onlinefileconverter is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
8. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws like the GDPR or CCPA to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@onlinefileconverter.app.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above and, for significant changes, post a prominent notice on the site.
