Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 19, 2026

Key Guarantees

Zero Server Uploads: Files are processed inside your browser tab and never leave your device.

Cookie-Free Stats: Privacy-first analytics to protect your identity.
GDPR Compliant: Privacy by design with zero personal file data retention.
Data Handling

Your files

FileSwift's conversion tools run entirely in your browser. When you upload an image or PDF into one of the tools on this site, that file is processed locally on your device using JavaScript - it is never transmitted to, stored on, or seen by any FileSwift server, because FileSwift does not operate a server that files pass through.

Monetization

Advertising

This site may display ads served by Google AdSense. FileSwift uses non-personalized ads only - Google is instructed not to use your browsing history or personal data to select which ads are shown. Non-personalized ads are selected based solely on the content of the page you are viewing, not on any profile of you as a user. No advertising cookies or tracking pixels are set by FileSwift or its ad partners for the purpose of behavioral profiling.

Analytics

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to measure site performance and visitor traffic. This tool collects anonymized traffic data (such as page views, approximate geographic location, device type, and referring website) without using cookies or collecting personally identifiable information. We use this data solely to improve site performance and functionality.

Regulation

GDPR & European Privacy Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR - Regulation (EU) 2016/679), individuals located in the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), and United Kingdom (UK) have specific rights regarding their personal data.

Because FileSwift operates on an architecture of Data Protection by Design and by Default (GDPR Article 25), our service inherently protects your privacy:

  • No Data Processor Role for Files: All file conversions and processing (PDF, images, video, audio, data) take place locally inside your browser memory. FileSwift never receives, accesses, or stores the contents of your documents or files. FileSwift does not act as a Data Controller or Data Processor for file contents.
  • Rights of Access, Rectification, and Erasure (Articles 15, 16, 17): Because FileSwift requires no user accounts and retains zero personal data or document history on any server, there is no personal data held to access, modify, or delete.
  • Cookie Consent & ePrivacy: For visitors from the EU, EEA, and UK, advertising cookies and identifiers are managed in compliance with the ePrivacy Directive and Google's EU User Consent Policy via a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP).
