Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

OpenedFile ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website openedfile.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal data.

By using our website, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please do not use our services.

2. How We Handle Your Files

Your files are never uploaded to our servers. All file conversion and processing on OpenedFile happens entirely within your web browser using client-side technologies such as JavaScript, WebAssembly, and the HTML5 Canvas API. When you use any of our tools — whether converting WebP images, HEIC photos, or opening winmail.dat files — your files remain on your device at all times.

We do not have access to, collect, store, or transmit any files that you process using our tools. No file data passes through our servers. This design is fundamental to our service and ensures complete privacy for your documents, images, and other files.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use the following types of cookies and similar technologies:

• Essential Cookies: We use localStorage to remember your theme preference (light or dark mode) and language setting. These are strictly necessary for the website to function as expected.
• Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects anonymized data such as pages visited, time spent on pages, and general geographic location. This data helps us improve our services. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Advertising Cookies: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google AdSense: Provides advertisements on our website. Google may collect and use data for ad personalization. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

• Cloudflare: Provides hosting and CDN services. Cloudflare may process certain technical data (IP addresses, request headers) for security and performance purposes. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

5. Information We Collect
