Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2026

At ConvertPilot, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our website and tools.

Your Files Stay With You

ConvertPilot is designed with privacy at its core. All file processing happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. This means:

  • Your files are never uploaded to our servers
  • We cannot see, access, or store your files
  • Your data remains on your device at all times

Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to improve our services:

  • Usage Analytics: Anonymous data about which tools are used (via privacy-respecting analytics)
  • Technical Information: Browser type, device type, and general location (country level) for optimization
  • Preferences: Your theme preference and language selection stored locally in your browser

Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies and local storage to:

  • Remember your theme preference (light/dark mode)
  • Store your language selection
  • Track recently used tools for your convenience

These are functional cookies that enhance your experience.

Advertising and AdSense Cookies

To keep our tools free for everyone, we display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google uses cookies, including DART cookies, to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites on the Internet.

  • Google and its partners use cookies to serve ads based on your interests
  • You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings
  • For EEA/UK users, we comply with Google Consent Mode v2 for consent management

You can learn more about how Google uses data when you use our site by visiting www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/

Your Data Rights (GDPR/CCPA)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or California, you have certain data protection rights:

  • Access: Request a copy of the limited data we collect (analytics, preferences)
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your locally stored preferences
  • Opt-out: Disable cookies or opt out of personalized advertising

Since we don't upload or store your files, there is no file data to access or delete. To exercise these rights for advertising data, visit Google's Privacy Controls.

Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services:

  • Analytics: To understand how our tools are used and improve them
  • CDN Services: To deliver our website faster to you globally
  • Font Services: To provide beautiful typography across all browsers

These services may collect anonymous, aggregated data. They do not have access to your files.

File Processing Clarification

Most tools process files entirely in your browser. However, some advanced tools (such as certain video/audio conversions) may require temporary server-side processing. When server processing is used:

  • Files are processed in memory and immediately deleted after conversion
  • No files are permanently stored on our servers
  • Processing typically completes within seconds

Data Security

Since your files never leave your device, they are inherently secure. For the minimal data we do collect:

  • We use HTTPS encryption for all communications
  • We follow industry best practices for data protection
  • We regularly review and update our security measures

Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
