How We Use Your Information

How We Process Your Files

Client-Side Processing (Preferred)

Most of our tools process your files directly in your browser using JavaScript. This means:

• Your files never leave your device
• Processing happens instantly
• No server storage or logging of your files
• Complete privacy and security

Server-Side Processing (When Necessary)

For some advanced features, we may need to process files on our servers. When this happens:

• Files are processed immediately and deleted within minutes
• No permanent storage of your files
• Secure, encrypted transmission
• No human access to your files
