Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 18, 2025

Information We Collect

Your Files: Nothing At All

  • Your HEIC files are read, decoded and converted entirely inside your browser. They are never transmitted anywhere.
  • This service has no backend, no upload endpoint and no file storage. There is no server that could receive one of your images.
  • Important: We do NOT collect, upload, or store your image files, their contents, their filenames, or their metadata — including file size and format.

Analytics

The only information this site collects is standard Google Analytics 4 traffic measurement, which runs in your browser and records:

  • Browser type and version
  • Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet)
  • An approximate location that Google derives from your IP address. The IP address itself is not made available to us.
  • Which pages you opened and how you arrived at the site

Analytics never sees your files or anything about them: conversion runs locally and reports nothing back.

How We Use Your Information

  • Understanding Demand: See which pages and guides people actually use, so we know what to improve next
  • Performance Monitoring: Track page load times and errors reported by the browser

Data Processing and Storage

Browser-Based Processing

  • • All file conversion happens locally in your browser
  • • Your images never leave your device
  • • No file uploads to our servers
  • • Converted PDFs are generated and stored locally on your device, and are discarded automatically after 10 minutes
  • • No metadata about your files is collected either

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. Since your files are processed locally in your browser, we never have access to your file contents and therefore cannot share them with anyone.

Service Providers

We may use trusted third-party services for:

  • Website hosting and infrastructure (Cloudflare)
  • Analytics and performance monitoring
  • Security and DDoS protection

These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and do not have access to your files since all processing happens in your browser.

Cookies and Tracking

  • Analytics: Google Analytics 4 cookies, which help us understand how the site is used. These are the only cookies this site sets.
  • No login, no session: The converter needs no account and stores no state, so there are no essential or functional cookies to accept.

We do not use advertising cookies or track users across other websites.

Your Rights

  • Complete File Control: Your files never leave your device, ensuring total control
  • Local Processing: All conversion happens in your browser
  • Service Discontinuation: You can stop using the service at any time
  • Data Requests: Contact us for any data-related inquiries

Security Measures

  • SSL encryption for all website communications
  • Browser-based processing - files never transmitted to servers
  • Regular security audits and updates
  • Rate limiting to prevent abuse
  • No server-side file storage or processing

Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it immediately.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for any changes.
