Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 1, 2025
At FileFlip.no, privacy is not an afterthought โ it is a core design principle. This policy explains exactly what data we collect, how we use it, and the rights you have over it. We have written it in plain language, not legal boilerplate.
1. Information We Collect
We collect very little information about visitors to FileFlip.no.
Anonymous analytics
We use standard web analytics to measure how many people visit each page and which tools are most popular. This data is aggregated and anonymous โ we cannot identify individual users from it. It includes general information such as page views, approximate country of origin (not precise location), browser type, and device type. We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifying information.
Contact form submissions
If you contact us via the contact page, we receive the information you choose to provide: your name, email address, the subject, and your message. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.
What we do NOT collect
We do not collect: account credentials (there are no accounts), payment information (the service is free), or โ most importantly โ your files. Your documents, images, and PDFs are never uploaded to our servers because we do not have file-processing servers.
2. Your Files
Your files are never uploaded to any server. Ever.
Every tool on FileFlip.no processes files entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. When you select a PDF or image file, it is loaded directly into your browser's temporary memory (RAM). The conversion, extraction, compression, or merging runs using JavaScript code that executes locally on your device. The resulting output file is generated in your browser and downloaded directly to your device.
At no point during this process does any file data travel over the internet. We have no file-upload endpoints, no storage buckets, and no processing servers. This is a technical fact, not merely a policy promise. Even if we wanted to access your files, our infrastructure makes it impossible.
When you close the browser tab, all temporary file data stored in memory is cleared by your browser automatically.
3. Cookies and Google AdSense
FileFlip.no is supported by advertising revenue through Google AdSense. When you visit pages that display ads, Google's advertising technology uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to show you relevant advertisements based on your browsing history and interests. This is controlled by Google, not by us.
Google may collect information about your visits to this site and other websites to provide personalised advertising. You can opt out of personalised advertising or manage your preferences at any time by visiting: https://adssettings.google.com
For more information about how Google uses data, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.
We do not use any first-party cookies ourselves (for tracking, sessions, or preferences) beyond what is strictly necessary for the site to function.
4. How We Use Information
We use the limited anonymous analytics data we collect for the following purposes:
- To understand which tools are most useful so we can prioritise improvements
- To monitor site performance and fix technical issues
- To understand aggregate geographic distribution of users for content planning
We do not sell, rent, or share any user data with third parties for marketing purposes. We do not build user profiles. We do not use your data for any purpose beyond improving the service.
5. Your Rights Under GDPR (European Users)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
- Right of access: You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
- Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): You can request that we delete any personal data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification: If any data we hold is inaccurate, you can request a correction.
- Right to portability: You can request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Right to object: You can object to processing of your personal data where we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis.
- Right to restrict processing: You can request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
In practice, since we collect no personally identifying information beyond contact form submissions, these rights apply primarily to correspondence you have initiated with us. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at mahmoodali2965.ma@gmail.com.
6. Your Rights Under CCPA (California Users)
If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):
- Right to know: You can request information about what personal data we collect and how we use it.
- Right to delete: You can request that we delete any personal information we have collected from you.
- Right to opt-out of sale: We do not sell personal information to third parties. There is nothing to opt out of.
- Right to non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
7. Data Security
Since we do not collect or store your files, the primary security concern โ unauthorised access to your documents โ does not apply. For the limited analytics data we do collect, it is stored with reputable analytics providers using industry-standard security practices.
All connections to FileFlip.no use HTTPS encryption to protect data in transit between your browser and our servers.
8. Children's Privacy
FileFlip.no is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
