Privacy Policy
Last updated: 17 June 2026
FileTinker ("we", "us") provides free, browser-based file tools. This policy explains what information we do and don't collect when you use filetinker.com.
The short version
Your files never leave your device. Every image, PDF and document tool runs entirely in your browser — your files are processed on your own computer and are never uploaded to or stored on our servers.
We don't require an account, and we don't ask for personal information to use the tools. The main data collected on this site comes from advertising cookies, described below.
Information we collect
Files you process: none are sent to us. All conversions, compression and edits happen locally in your browser, and the files are discarded from memory when you close or leave the page.
Account information: none. FileTinker has no sign-up or login.
Server logs: like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically record standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type and the pages you request. These logs are used only to operate and secure the site.
Cookies and advertising
We use Google AdSense to display ads, which helps keep FileTinker free. Google and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to serve and personalise ads based on your visits to this and other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to FileTinker and/or other sites on the Internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (https://www.google.com/settings/ads). You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at https://www.aboutads.info/choices.
For more information about how Google uses data when you use our site, see Google's Privacy & Terms (https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites).
Your choices in the EU, UK and Switzerland
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we will ask for your consent before any non-essential advertising cookies are set, and you can change or withdraw your consent at any time.
Data retention
Because your files are never uploaded, there is nothing for us to retain or delete. We don't build profiles of you, and we don't sell personal information.
Children's privacy
FileTinker is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date above. Significant changes will be reflected on this page.
