Privacy Policy

How we handle your data — and why most of the time, we simply don't.

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our File Type Checker Online tool ("Service"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the GDPR.

2. How our service works

Our tool analyses files directly within your browser using machine learning technology.

Important

Your files are processed locally on your device.
We do not upload, store, or transmit your files to our servers.

3. Information we collect

a. Information you provide

We do not collect or store the contents of files you analyse.

b. Automatically collected information

We may collect limited non-personal data such as:

  • Browser type and version
  • Device type
  • Anonymous usage data (e.g. page visits, interactions)

This data does not identify you personally.

4. How we use information

We use collected information to:

  • Improve website performance and user experience
  • Monitor usage trends and fix technical issues
  • Ensure the security and reliability of the Service

6. Cookies and tracking

We may use cookies or similar technologies to:

  • Maintain basic site functionality
  • Analyse usage (if analytics tools are enabled)

You can control cookies through your browser settings.

7. Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

We may use trusted third-party services (e.g. analytics providers) that process limited technical data on our behalf, under strict data protection agreements.

8. Data retention

Since we do not store your files:

  • File data is never retained
  • Any minimal analytics data is retained only as long as necessary for operational purposes

9. Your rights (GDPR)

If you are in the EEA you have the right to:

  • Access your data
  • Request correction or deletion
  • Object to processing
  • Request data portability
  • Withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.

10. Data security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect data. Since file processing occurs locally in your browser, your files remain under your control at all times.

11. International users

Your information may be processed in countries outside your own. We take appropriate safeguards to ensure your data is protected in accordance with applicable law.

12. Children's privacy

This Service is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have inadvertently done so, please contact us immediately.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
