Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 29, 2026

Summary

This policy distinguishes two completely separate kinds of data: (1) your files and conversion inputs, which never leave your device, and (2) aggregate site-usage and advertising data, which Google Analytics and Google AdSense collect via cookies once you accept the consent banner.

1. File and Tool Data — Not Collected

Every conversion on OnlyFormat runs 100% client-side using Canvas, WebAssembly, FFmpeg.wasm, or pdf-lib in your browser. The bytes of your input file are never sent to our servers, never stored, and never persisted after you close the tab. You can verify this in your browser's developer tools — there are zero outbound file uploads during a conversion.

  • We do not collect, store, or transmit your files.
  • We do not require account creation or login.
  • We do not sell or share personal data with third parties.

2. Site-Usage and Advertising Data — Collected via Google

OnlyFormat is supported by ads. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which tools are popular and Google AdSense to show ads. Both load only after you accept the cookie consent banner; before consent, Google Consent Mode v2 keeps all advertising and analytics cookies in a denied state.

What this means: which pages you visit, how long you stay, your approximate city-level location (estimated from IP, but the IP itself is not stored under GA4's 2020+ policy), your browser and device type, and your interactions with ads (clicks, impressions, frequency capping) are sent to Google. The contents of files you process are never part of this data.

Cookies

OnlyFormat itself does not set first-party cookies beyond the consent banner's preference flag. Third-party services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense) set cookies for analytics and advertising once you accept consent. You can also manage cookies through your browser settings.

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
