Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 22, 2026
1. Controller
FriendlyConverter is the controller for personal data processed through this website and related conversion services.
2. Privacy Scope
This policy applies to our website, converter endpoints, API requests, and support communications. It explains what data we process, why we process it, and which choices you have.
3. Data We Process and Store
We may process: - Uploaded files and generated outputs required to complete your requested conversion. - Technical metadata such as IP address, user agent, timestamps, and request logs for security, abuse prevention, and reliability. - Preference and anti-abuse cookies, including locale and signed rate-limit identifiers. - Contact details you provide when you reach out to us.
4. File Processing and Retention
Uploaded files are processed only to provide conversion results. Files and outputs are kept temporarily, then deleted automatically after delivery or within a limited retention window required for secure operation and troubleshooting.
5. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for core functionality and service protection. For example: - `fc_locale` keeps language preference (up to 1 year). - `fc_client_id` is a signed anti-abuse identifier (up to 30 days). We also use Google services for measurement and advertising where applicable. You can manage cookies in your browser settings.
6. Security
We apply technical and organizational safeguards, including TLS in transit, access controls, signed anti-tamper cookies, monitoring, and regular hardening. No system can guarantee absolute security.
7. International Data Transfers
When data is transferred across borders, we use safeguards required by applicable privacy laws, such as contractual protections and equivalent security measures.
8. Data Processing Addendum (DPA)
For business users that require processing terms, we can provide a Data Processing Addendum describing controller-processor responsibilities and security commitments.
9. USA-Specific Disclosures
If you are located in the United States, additional rights may apply depending on your state. We do not sell uploaded files. Where required by law, you may request access, deletion, correction, or opt-out treatment for eligible data processing.
10. EEA / UK / Switzerland
For users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, processing is based on legal grounds such as contract performance, legitimate interest, consent, and legal obligation. You may also have rights to object, restrict processing, and data portability.
11. California-Specific Disclosures
California residents may have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know, delete, and correct certain personal information, and to receive equal service without discrimination for exercising privacy rights.
12. Your Rights
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent (where consent is the legal basis). We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling a request.
13. Complaints and Policy Changes
You may lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your rights were violated. We may update this policy for legal, technical, or operational reasons and will publish material changes with a revised date.
