Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 2026
At FixMyFiles, privacy is not a marketing buzzword — it's the entire reason this site exists. We built these tools specifically so you would never have to upload personal files to a stranger's server. Here is exactly how we handle your information.
The "No-Upload" Promise
We do not upload, store, or see your files. Period.
Every tool on FixMyFiles uses client-side processing. That means when you trim an audio file, merge a PDF, or resize an image, all the work happens inside your own web browser using technologies like the Web Audio API, Canvas, pdf-lib, and WebAssembly. Your files live in your device's RAM while you edit them, and they are discarded the moment you close the tab. Nothing is transmitted to our servers — because we don't have file servers. There is zero risk of a data leak on our end because we never had your data in the first place.
Information We Do Collect
We do not collect any personally identifiable information. However, like most websites, we use basic analytics to understand how visitors use the site — things like which tools are popular, what countries our visitors come from, and how long people stay on a page. This data is aggregated and anonymous. We cannot use it to identify you individually.
Google AdSense & Cookies
To keep FixMyFiles 100% free, we display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google and its ad partners may use cookies — including the DoubleClick DART cookie — to serve ads based on your browsing history across websites. These cookies allow Google to show you more relevant ads.
Important things to know about these cookies:
- Google uses the DART cookie to serve ads based on your visits to FixMyFiles and other websites on the internet.
- These cookies do not track or access the files you process using our tools. Your files are never involved in advertising in any way.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.
Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) or California, you have specific rights regarding your personal data:
- Right to Access: You can request to know what personal data (if any) we hold about you. In our case, we hold none — your files are never stored.
- Right to Deletion: You can request deletion of your data. Since we do not store user files or personal data, there is nothing to delete on our end.
- Right to Opt-Out: You may opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell personal information. For cookie preferences, use the cookie consent banner on our site or visit Google's Ads Settings linked above.
- Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not treat you differently for exercising any of your privacy rights.
Children's Privacy
FixMyFiles is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back periodically.
