Privacy Policy
Last Updated: December 1, 2025
At CSVtoAny, we take a fundamental approach to privacy: we cannot lose your data if we never collect it.
1. The "No-Upload" Policy
Unlike traditional online converters, CSVtoAny operates as a client-side application. This means:
- Local Processing: When you select a file (CSV, Excel, JSON, etc.), it is processed directly by the JavaScript engine in your web browser.
- No Server Transfer: Your file data is never uploaded to our servers, cloud storage, or any third-party processor.
- Data Isolation: The conversion process happens entirely within your device's memory (RAM). Once you close the tab, the data is cleared from your browser's memory.
2. Information We Do Collect
While we do not collect your file contents, we may collect standard metadata to maintain and improve our website:
2.1 Usage Statistics (Anonymous)
We may use privacy-focused analytics tools to understand:
- Which tools are most popular.
- General geographic regions of our users.
- Browser types and screen sizes to optimize our design.
- Error logs (e.g., if a conversion fails due to a bug), which do not contain your file data.
2.2 Server Logs
Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically logs basic request information, including:
- IP address (for security and DDoS protection).
- Date and time of access.
- Referring website.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
We use minimal cookies and local storage for functional purposes:
- Preferences: To remember your selected language or UI theme.
- Analytics: To distinguish unique visitors (anonymously).
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site preferences may not be saved.
4. Third-Party Services
We may use trusted third-party services for specific functions:
- Analytics: We may use Google Analytics or similar services to track website performance.
- Advertising: We may display non-intrusive advertisements to support the free operation of this site. These ad providers may use cookies to serve relevant ads.
5. Data Security
Even though we don't store your files, we secure the delivery of our application:
- HTTPS Encryption: All connections to our website are secured with industry-standard SSL/TLS encryption.
- Content Security Policy (CSP): We implement strict security policies to prevent malicious script injection.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our technology or legal requirements. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will indicate the latest revision.
