Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Your privacy matters to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we may collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when using AnyFileConverter.online (the “Service”). Our core principle: provide useful conversion tools while keeping your files private and under your control.

2. File processing (Images, PDFs & other files)

By default, most conversion operations on AnyFileConverter.online occur entirely in your browser. This means your files are processed locally on your device and are not uploaded to our serversunless you explicitly choose a feature that requires server-side handling (for example, temporary public sharing).

This default approach means:

• We do not receive, view, or store your files during client-side conversions.
• Conversions are fast and run on the device to maximize privacy.
• If you opt into an upload/share feature, we will clearly state what is uploaded and for how long it will be stored.

3. Personal data we collect

We do not collect personal data unless you voluntarily provide it (for example, via a contact form). Minimal technical data may be collected automatically to help us improve the Service.

• Basic technical data — browser type, OS, screen size, and aggregate usage statistics used for performance and debugging.
• Anonymous analytics — aggregated visitor counts and page usage. These analytics do not include your uploaded files or personally identifying file contents.
• Contact information — only if you use the contact form or email us directly; we use this information strictly to respond to your inquiry.

4. Cookies & analytics

We may use cookies and analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to gather anonymous usage data. Cookies help us improve the website and measure performance. These cookies do not track the content of your files.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings. If you prefer not to be included in analytics, you can opt out using browser controls or advertising opt-out tools provided by third parties.

5. Advertising & third-party services

The Service may display advertisements (e.g., Google AdSense) to fund the project. Third-party ad providers may use cookies or device identifiers to serve relevant ads and measure performance.

To opt out of personalized advertising, visit:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads

Ads are placed thoughtfully and are not embedded inside tool input areas where accidental clicks could occur. We follow ad provider policies and industry best practices.

6. Third-party links & services

AnyFileConverter.online may contain links to third-party websites or use third-party services (CDNs, analytics, ad networks). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Please review their privacy policies separately.

7. Temporary uploads & sharing (optional features)

Some optional features (for example, creating a temporary public link to share a converted file) require files to be uploaded to our server or cloud storage. These features are strictly opt-in and will include a clear notice and retention period. We will remove such files automatically after the stated retention period (for example, 24 hours) unless you delete them earlier.

If you use any upload or sharing feature, we recommend you avoid uploading sensitive information unless you are comfortable with the temporary storage and retention policy shown at the time of upload.

8. Data security

Because client-side conversion is the default, your files typically never traverse the network during processing, which reduces exposure. Any server interactions (for optional features) use HTTPS to protect data in transit.

We take reasonable measures to protect data and infrastructure, but no system can be guaranteed 100% secure. If you have specific security concerns, please contact us via the Contact page.

9. Children’s privacy

The Service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.

10. Your rights

Where applicable, you have the right to:

• Request access to the personal data you provided (if any).
• Request deletion of any personal data you voluntarily shared.
• Opt out of analytics and cookies where possible.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the Service evolves. We will post the updated policy here with a revised “Last updated” date.
