Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

At Data Format Converter, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website and tools.

The short version: Your data never leaves your browser. All conversions happen locally on your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Data Processing

Client-Side Processing

All data conversion operations are performed entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. This means:

• Your data is never uploaded to our servers
• Your data is never transmitted over the internet during conversion
• Your data remains completely private and secure
• No one else can access your data, including our team

File Uploads

When you upload files using our tools:

• Files are read directly by your browser
• Files are not sent to any external servers
• Files are processed entirely in your device's memory
• We have no access to your uploaded files

Information We Collect

Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to save:

• Theme preferences (light/dark mode)
• Tool-specific settings (delimiters, formatting options, etc.)
• Recently used configurations for convenience

This information is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

Server Logs

Our web server may collect standard server log information, including:

• IP addresses
• Browser type and version
• Pages visited and timestamps
• Referrer information

This information is used solely for website maintenance, security, and performance optimization. It is not linked to any personal identification.

Cookies and Tracking

Essential Cookies

We use minimal cookies and local storage for essential website functionality:

Third-Party Services

CDN Libraries

We load conversion libraries from trusted CDNs (like unpkg.com). These requests:

Google AdSense (When Enabled)

If advertising is enabled:

• Google AdSense may collect information for ad targeting
• This is governed by Google's privacy policy

• Ads are contextual to the page, not your data

Data Security

We implement several security measures to protect your privacy:

• HTTPS: All communications are encrypted in transit
• No Data Storage: We don't store your conversion data
• Input Sanitization: All outputs are sanitized to prevent XSS attacks
• Regular Updates: We keep all libraries and dependencies up to date

Shareable Links

When you generate shareable links:

• Small datasets (under 10KB) may be compressed and included in the URL
• Larger datasets share only configuration settings
• Shareable links are generated entirely in your browser
• We cannot see or access the content of shareable links
• Anyone with the link can access the shared data
