Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 14, 2026

At FilexTool, your privacy is our priority. This Privacy Policy is designed to be transparent about how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you access our website and utilize our suite of file processing tools.

1. Distinction of Data

To provide clarity, we categorize the data we handle into two distinct groups: 'Website Usage Data' (information about how you interact with our site) and 'Uploaded File Data' (the actual documents, images, or media you upload for conversion).

2. Uploaded File Data & Strict Retention

We process your files with the highest degree of security and confidentiality:

Secure Processing: Files uploaded for conversion or editing are securely transferred to our servers using industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS).
Automatic Deletion: We do not store your files long-term. All uploaded files, as well as their converted output files, are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers within 24 hours of the initial upload.
No Inspection or Ownership: We do not read, analyze, mine, or share the contents of your uploaded files. You retain all full intellectual property rights to your data. FilexTool acts strictly as an automated processing conduit.

3. Website Usage Data Collection

While we do not collect personally identifiable information unless voluntarily provided (e.g., when creating an account), our servers automatically collect standard technical non-personal data to ensure the platform functions correctly:

IP address and generalized geographic region.
Browser type, version, and operating system.
Referring URLs and visit timestamps.
Interaction metrics (which tools are used most frequently).

This data is used solely for diagnostic purposes, capacity planning, and improving the user experience.

4. Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies

Because FilexTool is a free platform, we rely on third-party advertising networks to fund our server and development costs.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, users can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

5. General Cookies and Analytics

Beyond advertising, we use essential cookies to maintain user sessions (if you choose to log in) and analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics) to understand aggregated site traffic. You retain full control over these cookies and can disable them at any time through your browser's privacy settings, though doing so may impact the functionality of certain personalized features.

6. User Accounts

Creating an account is entirely optional. If you choose to register, we collect basic credentials (such as an email address) strictly to provide a personalized dashboard and save your tool preferences. We will never sell, rent, or distribute your account information to third-party marketers.

7. Data Security

We implement robust, industry-standard security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data. However, users acknowledge that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% impenetrable.

8. Policy Modifications

FilexTool reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our operational practices or regulatory requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised 'Last updated' date.
