The short version
Files you open in our tools are processed in your browser and are never sent to us or stored by us. We do not have accounts, and we do not run our own analytics. If you choose, a tool remembers your settings in your own browser; that never leaves your device either. Advertising on the site is provided by Google AdSense, which uses cookies as described below.
Files you use with the tools
When you choose or drop a file into a tool, the page reads it with JavaScript inside your browser. The conversion happens on your device and the result is saved to your device. The contents of your files are not uploaded, logged or shared. Closing the tab clears them from memory.
Information collected when you visit
Like any website, our hosting provider receives standard technical information when your browser requests a page, such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested. This is used to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. We do not use it to identify you, and we do not combine it with other information.
We do not set cookies of our own.
What is saved in your browser
Some things are kept in your browser's local storage on this device so the tools are quicker to use next time. None of it is sent to us; the site has no server that could receive it.
- Settings for a bank's file layout, saved only when Remember these settings is ticked: which column holds the date, description and amounts, the date format, the account type, the account number digits and routing number you typed, the currency and the bank ID.
- Your recent tools, so the home page can link back to them.
- Small preferences, such as layout choices in the spreadsheet tool and whether you have hidden the "Coming back next month?" box.
Your browser also keeps a copy of this site's own pages, styles and scripts so it can open without an internet connection. That copy never includes your files.
