File Handling and Data Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

TristanConvert.com provides free online file conversion tools for images, documents, data formats, and text encoding. We are committed to protecting your privacy and the confidentiality of your files.

How We Handle Your Files

Our conversion tools process files using client-side browser technology. This means:

  • Your files stay on your device. They are not uploaded to our servers for processing.
  • We cannot access, view, or read the content of your files.
  • No file data is stored, logged, or retained by our service.
  • Converted files are generated locally in your browser and downloaded directly to your device.

Format Conversion Privacy

Whether you are converting images between formats, transforming CSV data to Excel, converting JSON to XML, or changing text encoding, the conversion happens in your browser. Your source files and the converted output never pass through our servers. This ensures that sensitive data in spreadsheets, configuration files, database exports, or encoded text remains private.

Text Encoding and Character Data

Our text encoding tools may process content containing special characters, non-Latin scripts, or encoded data. All encoding detection and conversion is performed locally. We do not transmit, store, or analyze the text content you process.

Analytics and Cookies

We collect anonymous usage analytics (page views, tool popularity, browser types) to improve our service. We use cookies for analytics and may display advertisements through third-party ad networks. None of this data collection involves the content of files you convert. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

Security Recommendations

  • Use an up-to-date browser for the best security and compatibility
  • Process sensitive files on a secure network
  • Close browser tabs after conversion to clear temporary data
  • For classified or regulated documents, use approved offline tools as required by your organization policies
