The concrete version

Privacy Policy

Not just "we respect your privacy" — what's actually collected, what isn't, and where any of it goes.

Your files, and anything inside them, are never collected. Every tool processes files entirely within your browser's own memory. There is no upload step in any tool on this site — not a slow one, not a background one, not one that only fires under certain conditions. The code simply never sends file contents anywhere.

What is collected, specifically:

  • Which page was viewed and an approximate country (from IP address, looked up and then discarded — the IP address itself is not stored), so we know which pages get used.
  • Which tool was run — just its name, like "merge" or "trim-video" — never the file, its name, its size, or anything about its contents.
  • If you create an account: your email address, a bcrypt hash of your password (never the password itself), and your bookmarked tools.
  • If you use the Contact Us form: your name, email, and message, so a reply is possible.

Cookies used, specifically: a session cookie if you're logged in (so you stay logged in as you browse), and one anonymous cookie that remembers which tools you've "loved" on this browser, so the count doesn't increase on every repeat visit. Neither is used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Worth being upfront about: a handful of fonts and code libraries this site depends on (Google Fonts, and a few JavaScript libraries used for PDF/image/video processing) are loaded from their own providers' servers, not this site's. Loading anything from another server necessarily reveals your IP address to that server, the same way it would for any website that uses a CDN or web font — that's a function of how the web works, not something specific to what's built here, but it's still true and worth stating plainly rather than leaving out.

Ad slots (when configured) may show ads served by Google or by other third-party ad networks. Google and other vendors use cookies — including Google's own advertising cookies — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites on the web. You can opt out of Google's use of these cookies for personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, and opt out of a number of other vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices. Any ad network's cookies are set under that network's own privacy policy, not ours — and every ad slot on this site stops showing entirely once you're logged in.

This is a description of how the site actually works, written by the people who built it — not a substitute for legal advice, and not a claim of compliance with any specific law or regulation. See also the Terms & Conditions.
