Privacy Policy for FormatSwapper

Effective Date: July 25, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how FormatSwapper (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, processes, and protects your information when you access or use our website (https://formatswapper.com) and associated conversion utilities (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing or using FormatSwapper, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this Privacy Policy, please discontinue use of our Services immediately.

1. Conversion Processing

Scope of Service: FormatSwapper provides online conversion and formatting utilities across various data and file formats.

Purpose of Processing: When you use FormatSwapper, your content is processed solely to perform the specific conversion operation you requested.

Where Processing Happens: Depending on the specific tool and what it needs to do, processing may take place directly within your web browser, on backend servers, or through third-party cloud hosting infrastructure. We reserve the right to route processing through whichever method — client-side or server-side — best fits a given tool.

Temporary Retention & Automated Deletion: Where any processing does occur on a server, content is held in temporary working memory or cache only for as long as necessary to complete the operation and let you retrieve the result, and is purged shortly after. Where processing happens entirely in your browser, your content never leaves your device.

No Manual Inspection or Sale: We do not manually view, inspect, analyze, share, or sell the content you submit for conversion, except as required by applicable law or court order.

2. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit and use formatswapper.com, we automatically log standard non-personally identifiable technical details to maintain site performance, security, and uptime:

Log Data: Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, language preferences, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We and our third-party service providers (such as analytics platforms and advertising networks like Google Analytics or Google AdSense) may use cookies, web beacons, and local storage to optimize the site, measure usage, and serve personalized or non-personalized advertisements. You can control or disable cookies via your browser settings.

3. Data Transmission and Technical Security

Standard Network Transmission: Any data submitted to FormatSwapper is transmitted using standard network protocols. We do not offer or guarantee end-to-end cryptographic security or custom cryptographic measures against network interception.

User Responsibility: You use the Services at your own risk. You are solely responsible for ensuring that you do not submit confidential, highly sensitive, unlawful, or proprietary content that you do not have authorization to process on a public online tool.

4. Global Compliance & Legal Basis (GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, UK & Global Privacy)

A. European Union (EU / EEA) & United Kingdom Users

Legal Basis for Processing: Under GDPR Article 6(1)(b), we process any content and technical data based on Contractual Necessity — to fulfill the specific conversion task requested by you.

International Data Transfers: Where processing occurs via backend or third-party hosting infrastructure, data may be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) or UK. By using the site, you consent to such operational transfers.

User Rights: You may have rights under applicable laws to request access to or deletion of your personal data. Because any server-side content is deleted automatically shortly after processing and log data is not tied to an identifiable profile, we generally do not retain permanent identifiable user files or records.

B. United States & California Residents

We do not sell personal data or submitted content for monetary consideration. Third-party ad networks may collect technical identifiers via cookies to deliver advertisements, which you may opt out of through your browser settings or standard network opt-out portals.

C. Worldwide Applicability

This Privacy Policy applies universally to all users globally, regardless of location or jurisdiction.

5. Limitation of Liability and “As-Is” Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, FormatSwapper operates on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. We, our operators, and hosting providers explicitly disclaim liability for:

Errors, corruption, quality loss, or incomplete conversions.
Unauthorized access to or interception of data during transit over the public internet.
Any direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use our tools.

6. Third-Party Links and Advertisements

FormatSwapper may display third-party advertisements or links to external websites, such as Google AdSense. We are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or security practices of third-party platforms.

7. Children's Privacy Protection

FormatSwapper does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU). If you believe a child has submitted personal data or sensitive content, please contact us for immediate removal.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. Any modifications will be posted on this page with an updated “Effective Date.” Continued use of https://formatswapper.com constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms.
