Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

FlipMyFiles (“we,” “our,” or “us”) operates the file conversion service available at flipmyfiles.com. This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect, how we handle uploaded files, and the choices available to you when using our service.

By using FlipMyFiles, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of the service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Technical Information

When you visit our website, our hosting infrastructure may automatically collect certain technical information, including:

• IP address (used for rate limiting and abuse prevention)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Referring URL
• Pages visited and time spent on each page

This data is collected in aggregate form and is not used to identify individual users.

2.2 Uploaded Files

Files that you upload for conversion are handled as follows:

• Server-side conversions (images, documents, archives): Files are processed in server memory. They are not saved to disk and are discarded immediately once the converted output is returned to your browser.
• Client-side conversions (video and audio): These files are processed entirely within your browser using WebAssembly technology. They are never transmitted to our servers.

We do not review, store, copy, index, or share the contents of any uploaded file.

2.3 Personal Information

FlipMyFiles does not require account creation, registration, or any form of personal information to use the conversion tools. We do not collect names, email addresses, or payment details through normal use of the service.

If you contact us via email, we may retain the correspondence to respond to your inquiry.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

We use a limited number of cookies and local storage mechanisms:

• Theme preference: Your light/dark mode selection is stored in your browser's local storage so that it persists between visits.
• Essential cookies: Used for basic site functionality and rate limiting purposes.

Third-party services integrated into our site (such as analytics or advertising providers) may set their own cookies. Please refer to Section 5 for more details.

4. How We Use Information

The technical information we collect is used for the following purposes:

• Operating and maintaining the service
• Preventing abuse through rate limiting
• Understanding general usage patterns to improve the service
• Diagnosing technical issues

We do not sell, rent, or share any collected information with third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Third-Party Services

FlipMyFiles uses the following third-party services:

• Vercel: Our hosting provider. Vercel may collect server logs and performance data. See Vercel's Privacy Policy.
• Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager: We use Google's analytics tools to understand how visitors interact with our website. This may involve the use of cookies. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google AdSense: We display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party providers to understand how they handle data.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect the information processed through our service:

• All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS
• Server-side file processing occurs in memory and data is not persisted to storage
• Rate limiting is applied to prevent abuse of the service

While we take steps to protect the information we handle, no method of electronic transmission or processing is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of data during transmission or processing.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your data:

• You can clear cookies and local storage through your browser settings at any time
• You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings
• You can use browser extensions or settings to block third-party cookies
• You can contact us to inquire about any data we may have associated with your correspondence

Since we do not require accounts or collect personal information during normal use, there is generally no personal data for us to delete or provide upon request.

8. Children's Privacy

FlipMyFiles is a general-purpose utility tool and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
