Privacy Policy

Your Privacy Matters

At FilesSwap, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our file conversion services.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Files You Convert

Most conversions happen locally. Many of our tools use JavaScript to process files directly in your web browser—these never leave your device. However, some complex conversions (like Word to PDF, Excel to PDF, or PDF repair) require server-side processing. When files are uploaded, they are encrypted, processed securely, and automatically deleted within 1 hour.

1.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit FilesSwap, we may automatically collect:

• Browser Information: Browser type, version, language preference
• Device Information: Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet), operating system
• Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, time spent on site
• IP Address: For analytics and security purposes (anonymized)
• Cookies: Small text files for site functionality (see Cookie Policy)

1.3 Information You Provide

If you contact us via email or contact form, we collect the information you choose to provide (name, email, message).

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and improve our file conversion services
• To analyze site usage and optimize user experience
• To detect and prevent fraud or abuse
• To respond to your inquiries and support requests
• To comply with legal obligations

3. Processing Methods

FilesSwap uses two processing methods depending on the conversion type:

4. Third-Party Services

4.1 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics collects information anonymously and reports website trends without identifying individual visitors. You can opt-out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

4.2 Google AdSense (Future)

We may display ads through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to show ads based on your visits to this and other websites. You can opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings.

5. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience. For detailed information, please see our Cookie Policy.

6. Data Security

Browser-processed files stay on your device. Server-processed files are encrypted in transit and automatically deleted after 1 hour. For the limited analytics data we collect, we implement appropriate security measures including:

• SSL/HTTPS encryption for all connections
• Regular security audits
• Restricted access to any collected data
• Anonymization of IP addresses

7. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

You have the right to:

• Access: Request access to any personal data we hold about you
• Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data
• Erasure: Request deletion of your data
• Restriction: Request restriction of processing
• Portability: Request transfer of your data
• Object: Object to processing of your data
• Withdraw Consent: Withdraw consent at any time

8. Children's Privacy

FilesSwap is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.

9. International Data Transfers

Since your files are processed in your browser, no international data transfer occurs for file content. Analytics data may be processed in countries where our service providers operate.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
