All file processing on FileWorks (PDF manipulation, image conversion, ZIP archiving, and renaming) occurs 100% locally in your web browser. Your documents, photos, and files are NEVER transmitted or saved to our servers.
1. Information We Do NOT Collect
Because FileWorks operates via client-side JavaScript APIs (including pdf-lib, PDF.js, and the HTML5 Canvas API), we have no technical ability to access, inspect, or retain your files:
- We do not store your files on any cloud servers or databases.
- We do not log file contents, filenames, or document text.
- We do not create server-side temporary backups or copies.
2. Information We Collect Automatically
When you visit the FileWorks website, standard technical information is automatically recorded by our hosting infrastructure and advertising partners:
- Device & Browser Information: Browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and language settings.
- Usage Statistics: Anonymous tool usage events (e.g., number of conversions performed, tool errors encountered) to monitor service reliability.
- Log Data: Anonymized IP addresses and request timestamps collected by our CDN (Cloudflare) for DDoS mitigation and security purposes.
3. Cookies and Advertising Partners
FileWorks is offered completely free of charge. To sustain operational and bandwidth costs, we display online advertisements, including through Google AdSense.
Google AdSense
Google and third-party vendors use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites:
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to FileWorks and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- Alternatively, you can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Cookie Consent & Local Storage
We use your browser's localStorage solely to remember your cookie consent preferences and user interface settings. No personal profiles are stored.
4. Third-Party Libraries & CDNs
FileWorks loads open-source JavaScript libraries from reputable public CDNs (such as cdnjs and unpkg). These CDNs may log standard HTTP requests from your browser in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
5. Data Security
All network communications on FileWorks are secured using end-to-end Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS). Because all file operations run in your device's memory sandbox, your files remain under your sole physical control.
6. Children's Privacy
FileWorks does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that your child has provided personal information on our website, please contact us immediately.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
