Security & Privacy
Are my files safe and secure?
Absolutely! All file uploads use HTTPS encryption. Your files are processed securely by CloudConvert, a GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001 certified service. Files are automatically deleted within 15 minutes for enhanced privacy protection - significantly more secure than the industry standard 24-hour retention. We never access, view, or share your files with anyone.
How long do I have to download my files?
You have 15 minutes to download your converted files. This is an enhanced privacy feature - files are automatically deleted for your security. After 15 minutes, files are permanently removed and cannot be recovered. If you need the file again, simply perform the conversion again.
Where are my files processed?
Your files are processed by CloudConvert, a trusted third-party file conversion service that is GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001 certified. CloudConvert maintains state-of-the-art security infrastructure to protect your files during processing. We automatically delete all files from CloudConvert within 15 minutes - much faster than their standard 24-hour retention period.
What happens to my files after conversion?
Your files are handled with maximum security and privacy:
- Files are never stored on our servers - they are sent directly to CloudConvert for processing
 - All files are automatically deleted within 15 minutes
 - An automated system runs every 15 minutes to ensure files are permanently removed from CloudConvert
 - Only you have access to your files through a unique, private download URL
 - Download URLs are never publicly exposed or shared with anyone
 - Files cannot be accessed by other users or our staff
 
Can I use this for confidential documents?
Yes, but use your judgment. While we maintain strict security measures, we recommend avoiding highly sensitive documents like legal contracts or financial records for any online service.
