Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

This Privacy Policy applies to FileFlow, available at base64-to-image.com, including Base64 tools, image tools, PDF tools, text tools, developer tools, blog pages, and related website features.

In this policy, “FileFlow,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the website operator. “You” and “your” refer to the person using the website.

2. The most important privacy promise

FileFlow is designed as a neutral technical tool. Its purpose is to convert, decode, encode, format, compress, split, merge, watermark, number, or otherwise process data selected by the user.

We do not intentionally collect, upload, access, read, monitor, review, copy, sell, rent, publish, share, or store the contents of your source files, images, PDFs, pasted text, Base64 strings, JSON, HTML, XML, SVG, generated files, extracted text, metadata, or conversion outputs.

Where a tool works locally, the conversion happens inside your browser on your own device. The selected file or pasted content is not sent to our server for conversion.

FileFlow is not a file-hosting service, cloud storage service, moderation service, publishing platform, backup service, or content review service. We are only providing browser-based conversion functionality.

3. Browser-local processing

Most FileFlow tools use browser APIs, JavaScript, canvas, PDF, image, text, or encoding libraries to process data locally. This means the work happens in your browser memory and, where needed, temporary browser object URLs may be created so you can preview or download the result.

Temporary browser object URLs, previews, and generated download links are local to your browser session. They are not public links and are not uploaded to FileFlow by us.

Some tools may keep a small recent-history list or preference setting in your browser storage. This is stored on your device, not in a FileFlow account. You can clear it from the tool interface when available or by clearing your browser data.

4. No account and no file database

FileFlow does not require a user account for normal use. We do not provide user dashboards, file libraries, cloud folders, private galleries, or server-side file storage for user conversions.

Because we do not operate a user file database for these tools, we generally cannot recover files you processed, identify what you converted, or restore generated outputs after you leave the page.

5. User content and your responsibility

You are solely responsible for all files, images, text, documents, code, data, links, metadata, and other material that you upload, paste, drag, drop, convert, download, copy, share, or otherwise process using FileFlow.

By using FileFlow, you confirm that you have the necessary rights, permissions, and legal authority to process the content you choose to use with the tool. This includes responsibility for copyright, privacy, confidentiality, data protection, intellectual property, contractual restrictions, and any other legal obligations that may apply to your content.

You agree not to use FileFlow to process content in a way that violates applicable law, infringes another person’s rights, breaches confidentiality duties, exposes private information without permission, or harms another person.

FileFlow does not claim ownership of your content. FileFlow does not endorse, verify, approve, monitor, or take responsibility for user-selected content or for the legal consequences of how users process, download, copy, publish, or share their own content.

6. No monitoring or editorial control

Because the tools are designed to run locally in the browser, FileFlow generally does not see the contents of the files or data being processed and does not exercise editorial control over that content.

We do not promise to detect, block, review, classify, approve, or remove specific user content processed locally in your browser. The user remains responsible for deciding what content to process and how to use the output.

7. Information we may collect

We may collect limited technical, diagnostic, and usage information necessary to operate, secure, improve, and support the website. This may include:

• Pages visited, approximate timestamps, referring pages, and general navigation activity.
• Browser type, device type, operating system, approximate region, language, screen size, and performance information.
• Cookie consent choices, theme preferences, local UI preferences, and basic browser storage settings.

We do not intentionally include the content of your files, images, PDFs, pasted Base64, JSON, XML, HTML, SVG, extracted text, or conversion outputs in analytics events.

8. Cookies, consent, and local storage

We may use cookies, local storage, session storage, and similar browser technologies for essential website operation, remembering preferences, measuring site usage, displaying ads, limiting repeated ads, and improving performance.

Where required, we ask for consent before using optional analytics or advertising cookies. You can manage cookies through the cookie banner when available and through your browser settings.

Blocking cookies may affect some features, analytics, ads, preferences, or consent settings, but core conversion tools should generally remain usable where technically possible.

9. Google Analytics

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use FileFlow, which tools are useful, where errors occur, and how performance can be improved.

Google Analytics may use cookies or similar technologies to collect traffic and usage data. We use analytics to improve the website and do not use it to inspect private conversion content.

Google provides information about how Google Analytics collects and processes data and requires websites using Google Analytics to disclose that use.

10. Advertising and Google AdSense

FileFlow may display advertising through Google AdSense and related advertising services. Advertising helps keep the tools available for free.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on a user’s visits to this and other websites, personalize ads depending on settings and consent choices, measure ad performance, prevent fraud, limit repeated ads, and improve ad quality.

You can manage ad personalization through Google’s advertising settings, browser controls, consent options, and other privacy tools made available by Google or your device/browser provider.

11. Third-party libraries and services

Some FileFlow tools may load third-party browser libraries or scripts for PDF processing, image processing, OCR, analytics, advertising, consent management, security, hosting, fonts, or performance.

Loading a third-party script or library may send standard technical request information to that third party, such as your IP address, browser information, page URL, referring page, and request time.

Unless a specific tool clearly states otherwise, FileFlow does not intentionally upload your selected source file to those third-party services for conversion. However, third-party services are governed by their own privacy policies, security practices, and terms.

12. Downloads, sharing, and copied results

When you download, copy, or share a generated result, the action is controlled by your browser, device, operating system, installed apps, or sharing destination.

You are responsible for where you save, paste, upload, publish, transmit, or share any output generated by FileFlow. FileFlow is not responsible for how you use, distribute, disclose, or store the output after it is generated.

13. Sensitive files and confidential information

Although FileFlow is designed for local processing, no online tool can remove every privacy or security risk. You should not process highly sensitive, confidential, regulated, private, secret, or legally restricted content unless you understand and accept the risks.

This includes, for example, documents containing personal data, financial records, medical data, government records, private photos, trade secrets, credentials, access tokens, encryption keys, legal documents, or confidential business files.

14. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the website and reduce security risks. However, no website, browser, network, device, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your own device security matters. Keep your browser and operating system updated, avoid suspicious extensions, and do not process sensitive files on shared or untrusted devices.

15. Data retention

Since FileFlow is not designed to store user files or conversion outputs on our server, we generally do not retain those materials.

Technical logs, analytics data, advertising data, consent records, and security records may be retained by us or by third-party providers for periods determined by operational needs, security requirements, legal obligations, provider settings, and applicable law.

Browser-local data, such as local history or preferences, remains on your device until you clear it, reset the tool, clear browser storage, or your browser removes it.

16. Your choices and controls

• You can choose not to use a tool if you do not want to process a particular file or data item.
• You can clear local conversion history from the tool interface where available.
• You can clear cookies, cache, local storage, and site data in your browser settings.
• You can use private browsing, browser privacy controls, content blockers, or cookie controls.
• You can manage Google ad personalization and Google-related privacy settings through Google’s tools.
• You can decline optional cookies where the cookie banner provides this choice.

17. Privacy rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding personal information, such as the right to access, correct, delete, object to, restrict, or request a copy of certain personal data.

Because FileFlow does not require accounts and is not designed to store user files, we may not be able to identify you or locate user-specific conversion content. If you contact us about a privacy request, we may need enough information to verify and process the request.

18. International use

FileFlow may be accessed from different countries. Third-party services used for analytics, advertising, hosting, consent, or security may process technical information in countries other than your own. Those countries may have different data protection rules.

19. Children’s privacy

FileFlow is a general-purpose utility website and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Users who are minors should use the website only with appropriate permission and should not process private or sensitive files without guidance from a parent, guardian, teacher, or other responsible adult.

20. No professional advice

FileFlow is a technical conversion utility. It does not provide legal, financial, medical, security, compliance, archival, forensic, or professional advice. You are responsible for verifying whether a converted file or output is accurate, complete, lawful, suitable, and safe for your intended use.

21. Limitation of responsibility for user content

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, FileFlow is not responsible for user-selected content, user-uploaded files, pasted data, generated outputs, downloaded files, copied results, shared results, or any decisions, claims, losses, damages, disputes, infringements, privacy violations, confidentiality breaches, or legal consequences arising from a user’s content or use of the tools.

You remain solely responsible for reviewing results before using them and for ensuring that your use of FileFlow and any output complies with applicable laws, third-party rights, contracts, confidentiality obligations, and platform rules.

22. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the website, tools, analytics, advertising, cookies, third-party services, or legal requirements change. The “Last updated” date at the top shows when this page was last revised.
