1) Overview
FileForge provides browser-based file tools that help users convert, compress, and process documents and media. We aim to collect only the information reasonably needed to operate the website, improve performance, and provide support.
2) Information We May Collect
- Uploaded files: files you submit for conversion or processing.
- Generated output: the files created from your requested tool action.
- Basic technical logs: browser type, IP address, device details, timestamps, and server error logs.
- Contact information: any details you submit through a contact or support form, such as your name, email address, and message.
- Usage data: general site interactions such as page visits, tool usage, and performance diagnostics.
3) How We Use Information
- To process uploaded files and generate the requested output.
- To improve website performance, reliability, and user experience.
- To detect misuse, spam, malicious uploads, or suspicious activity.
- To troubleshoot technical errors and maintain service stability.
- To reply to questions, support requests, or messages sent through our contact page.
4) File Storage and Retention
Uploaded files and generated outputs may be stored temporarily on the server in order to complete processing and allow downloads. In many cases, temporary files are deleted automatically after processing, after download, or after a cleanup action.
5) Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect data from unauthorized access, misuse, or disclosure. However, no website or online transmission method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
For maximum privacy, avoid uploading highly sensitive information unless you control the hosting environment and security configuration yourself.
6) Cookies and Local Storage
FileForge may use basic browser storage features such as cookies or local storage for preferences, theme settings, session handling, and essential site functionality.
These technologies may also help improve usability and keep temporary sessions working correctly while you use the tools.
7) Third-Party Services
FileForge may rely on third-party libraries, CDNs, fonts, icons, analytics tools, hosting providers, or infrastructure services. These providers may process limited technical information as part of serving website assets or maintaining platform performance.
Please review the privacy practices of any third-party services used by your deployment or website configuration.
8) Your Responsibility
You are responsible for the files and content you upload. Please do not upload illegal material, malware, or content you do not have the right to process.
If you are handling personal, financial, legal, or medical information, use extra care and make sure your hosting environment meets your own compliance and security requirements.
9) Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date on this page. Continued use of FileForge after changes means you accept the updated policy.
