Privacy Policy

When you use 123Converter, we may collect the following types of information:

• Files you upload for conversion or compression — processed on our servers and never stored permanently.
• Basic usage data such as browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and referring URL.
• IP address — used for rate limiting, abuse prevention, and approximate geographic analytics.
• Cookies and local storage data — used for theme preferences and session management.
• Information you submit through our contact form (name, email, message).

Some tools, such as the Unit Converter, run entirely in your browser and do not send any data to our servers.

We do not require account creation, and we do not collect passwords, payment information, or social media profiles.

We use the information we collect strictly for the following purposes:

• To process and deliver your file conversions, compressions, and OCR extractions.
• To monitor and improve service performance and reliability.
• To detect and prevent abuse, spam, and unauthorized access.
• To analyze aggregate usage patterns and improve the user experience.
• To respond to your support inquiries submitted via the contact form.

We never sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

Your file privacy is our top priority. Here is exactly how we handle your uploads across all tools — converters, compressors, and OCR:

We follow a minimal data retention policy:

• Uploaded files — deleted immediately after processing (conversion, compression, or OCR).
• Output files — automatically purged within 1 hour.
• Server logs (IP, user agent) — retained for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention, then permanently deleted.
• Contact form submissions — retained only as long as needed to resolve your inquiry.
• Analytics data — stored in aggregate, anonymized form with no personally identifiable information.

123Converter uses cookies and browser local storage to enhance your experience:

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Note that disabling essential cookies may affect website functionality.
