Privacy Policy
Convert Always is local-first: whenever your browser can do the job, your file never leaves your device. This page explains the exceptions and what we keep.
Last updated: 6 June 2026
Local conversions
Image, text, PDF, Office-text, archive and media conversions marked as local are performed by JavaScript and WebAssembly inside your browser tab. No copy of the file is uploaded, and we have no technical way to see its contents.
Cloud conversions
Some format pairs cannot be handled in a browser. Those are labelled “cloud” before you run them. When you choose one, the file is sent over TLS to our server, forwarded to our conversion provider, converted, returned to you and then deleted. We do not store the file or the result, and we do not use your content for any other purpose.
What we log
For each cloud conversion attempt we record, purely to prevent abuse:
- a salted, non-reversible hash of the network address (never the raw IP);
- the random browser-session identifier described in the Cookie Policy;
- the source and target format, the file size in bytes and a timestamp;
- whether the attempt was allowed or blocked by rate limiting.
File names and file contents are not part of this record.
Stored in your browser only
Conversion history, theme preference, session identifier and your cookie choice live in your browser's local storage. Clearing your browser data removes them permanently; we hold no server copy.
Advertising
Advertising partners may process data under their own policies when you consent to advertising cookies. See the Cookie Policy for what that involves and how to change your choice.
Your rights
Because we do not build user profiles or store personal identifiers, there is usually nothing to export or erase on our side. If you believe we hold data about you, contact us at the address published on the site and we will respond within a reasonable period.
Shared responsibility
Convert Always is responsible for the behaviour of this application and for the anti-abuse records described above. Hosting, database and advertising providers are responsible for their own platforms and publish their own privacy documentation.
