Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 1, 2026 · Last updated: May 12, 2026

TL;DR - Your files are never stored. We collect no personal data. No accounts, no tracking, no surprises.

1. What this policy covers

This Privacy Policy describes how PrivConvert ("we", "our", "the Service") handles information when you use privconvert.com. By using the Service you agree to the practices described below.

2. File processing

  • All uploaded files are processed in volatile memory (RAM). Files are never written to permanent storage.
  • Your file data is purged from memory immediately once the converted result is delivered to your browser, or after a short timeout if the download is not completed.
  • We have no ability to recover, view, or access your files after processing.
  • No copies, thumbnails, caches, or backups of your files are created at any point.
  • Some tools run entirely inside your browser. In those cases your files never leave your device.

3. Information we collect

We are committed to collecting as little information as possible:

  • No accounts or sign-ups - the Service requires no registration.
  • No analytics or tracking scripts - we do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or similar services.
  • No browser fingerprinting - we do not identify users across sessions.
  • No IP address logging - IP addresses are not stored. A temporary, one-way hash may be held in volatile memory solely for rate-limiting purposes and is discarded automatically.
  • Cookies - we set no first-party cookies. Essential security cookies may be set by Cloudflare (see Section 6).

4. How we use information

The limited, non-personal information described above is used exclusively to:

  • Deliver the file conversion you requested
  • Protect the Service from abuse (rate limiting, bot prevention)
  • Maintain basic operational reliability

We do not sell, rent, or share any information with third parties for marketing or profiling purposes.

5. Advertising

The Service may display advertisements through Google AdSense or similar networks. When enabled, the advertising provider may use cookies to serve ads based on your browsing history. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings or through the DAA opt-out page.

We do not have access to or control over data collected by advertising networks. Their use of cookies is governed by their own privacy policies.

6. Third-party services

The Service relies on a small number of external providers:

  • Cloudflare - content delivery, DDoS protection, and bot mitigation. Cloudflare may set essential security cookies. Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
  • Google Fonts - web font delivery (Inter typeface). Google Privacy Policy.
  • Google AdSense - display advertising, if enabled (see Section 5).

7. Data security

We take the security of your files seriously. All connections to the Service are encrypted using industry-standard HTTPS/TLS. Uploaded files undergo validation checks before processing. Potentially harmful file types are rejected. We regularly review our security practices to ensure your data remains protected throughout the conversion process.

8. Children's privacy

The Service is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.

9. International users

The Service may be accessed from anywhere in the world. Because we do not collect or store personal data, cross-border data transfer concerns typical of other services do not apply. The temporary, in-memory processing of files occurs on servers protected by Cloudflare's global network.

10. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including under GDPR, CCPA, and similar laws), you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data. Because we do not collect or retain personal data, there is generally nothing to disclose, correct, or delete. If you have questions about exercising your rights, please contact us.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
