Privacy policy
Last updated: 2026-05-08
The short version
Fileoholic is a static website. Every tool runs in your browser. Files you drop in our tools never leave your device. We do not have a server that processes your files. We do not store, scan, or share your files.
What we collect
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is a privacy-friendly analytics service that does not use cookies and does not collect personal information. It records aggregate page views and country-level location only.
We display ads via Google AdSense. AdSense uses cookies and similar technologies to serve ads. You can review and control what data Google uses for ad personalization at Google Ads Settings.
Cookies
The site itself sets no cookies. Third-party services (Google AdSense, in some regions a consent management script) may set cookies. Where required by law, we show a cookie notice on first visit so you can opt in or out.
Files you process
Files you drop into our tools are processed in your browser using JavaScript. They are not uploaded to a server. They are held in browser memory while you work and are released when you close the tab. You can verify this in your browser's developer tools — open the Network tab while compressing or converting a file, and you will see no requests carrying the file content.
If you contact us, your email content is processed by Cloudflare Email Routing and forwarded to the site owner. We do not retain emails beyond what is needed to respond.
Children
The site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
If you are in the EU, UK, or California, you have rights under GDPR or CCPA, including the right to request what personal data we hold about you. Because we do not maintain a user database, the answer in nearly every case is "none." You can still email us if you have questions.
Affiliate disclosure
Some pages contain affiliate links to third-party products. If you click such a link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Affiliate links never affect the content of our reviews or which tools we recommend.
Changes
We may update this policy. The "last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change.
