Privacy Policy

When you add an audio or video file to BrowserConvert:

• Local Memory Only: Your browser reads the file from your local disk into browser memory (RAM) via standard HTML5 File APIs.
• Client-Side WebAssembly: Our conversion engine (compiled from FFmpeg into WebAssembly) runs locally inside your browser tab or Web Worker thread.
• No Outbound Network Upload: No byte of your media payload is ever transmitted over the internet to BrowserConvert or any cloud storage service.
• Immediate Memory Reclamation: Converted files reside as transient in-memory Object URLs (Blob URLs). When you clear a file from the queue, close the browser tab, or navigate away, memory is reclaimed by your operating system.

Because we do not use server-side transcoding infrastructure:

• We do not store, view, listen to, transcribe, or inspect your audio or video files.
• We do not retain file metadata, titles, album tags, or embedded personal information.
• We do not require user accounts, passwords, email sign-ups, or social logins to use any conversion tool.
• We do not monetize your file contents, sell training datasets, or feed your media to machine learning models.

To keep BrowserConvert operational, reliable, and bug-free, we may collect aggregated, non-personally identifiable diagnostic metrics:

• Engine Diagnostics: Aggregated statistics such as total conversions initiated, output format selections (e.g., "MP4 to MP3"), or WebAssembly initialization errors. These logs never contain file contents, filenames, or user identifiers.
• Standard Server Access Logs: Like virtually all websites, our hosting CDN (such as Cloudflare or Vercel) logs standard HTTP request headers, IP addresses (anonymized/hashed for DDoS mitigation), browser user agents, and page load durations for security and caching.
• Local Storage Preferences: We may store your non-sensitive UI settings (such as dark mode preference or preferred default bitrate) in your browser's local storage. This data never leaves your device.

BrowserConvert is supported by web advertising so we can provide unlimited, free conversions without paywalls:

• Third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense) may place or read cookies on your browser to serve contextual or personalized advertisements based on previous visits to this or other websites.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting AboutAds.info or adjusting your Google Ad Settings.
• We enforce strict ad container policies: ads on BrowserConvert are marked as sponsored placements and never disguise themselves as fake "Download" or "Convert" buttons.

5. Children's Privacy

BrowserConvert does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. Since no registration is required and no files are uploaded, our services are safe and privacy-protective by design.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may periodically update this policy to reflect enhancements in WebAssembly browser capabilities or regulatory compliance. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" timestamp.
