Our Privacy Promise in Plain English
We believe in transparency. Here’s our commitment to you in simple terms:
The file conversion tools on whafile work entirely within your web browser. This means your files are never uploaded to our servers. We never see, touch, or store them. Your privacy is guaranteed.
- Your files are yours. Period. We have zero access to your files or their contents because they never leave your computer.
- We don't need your personal info. You don't need an account, so we don't ask for your name or email. Our service is completely anonymous.
- We use basic analytics to improve the site. We look at general, anonymous data (like which tools are most popular) to make them better for you.
- We use ads to keep the lights on. Running a free service costs money. Displaying ads allows us to offer these tools to you for free.
That's the core of our promise. For a few more details, please read on.
1. The Information We Handle (and What We Don't)
The Files You Convert:
When you use our tools, all the complex work happens on your own device. Your browser runs the code that transforms the file. Because of this, we have absolutely no access to the contents of your files. They always stay with you.
Anonymous Website Usage Data:
Like most websites, we collect anonymous technical information to understand how visitors use our service. This includes things like the type of browser you're using (e.g., Chrome) and which pages on our site are visited. This data is grouped together, cannot be used to identify you, and helps us answer important questions like, "Is our website working correctly?"
2. How We Use This Information
- To Provide the Service: Our website's code uses your browser to perform the file conversions you ask for.
- To Improve Our Tools: We analyze anonymous usage data to make whafile faster, more reliable, and easier to use.
- To Support the Service: We display ads from partners like Google AdSense. This advertising revenue is what allows us to keep our tools 100% free.
3. Cookies, Ads, and Third-Party Services
Cookies: These are small text files stored on your computer that help a website function. We use them for basic analytics and to help our advertising partners show you relevant ads. You have full control to manage or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Advertising & Analytics: To keep whafile free, we partner with services like Google AdSense (for ads) and Google Analytics (for usage data). These services may use cookies to gather anonymous information about your visits. We recommend you review their privacy policies to understand how they handle data.
