Privacy Policy

Introduction

FileNaut ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website filenaut.com. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.

Client-Side Processing

FileNaut is designed with privacy at its core. All file processing happens entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers, and we have no ability to see, access, or store any files you work with on FileNaut. This applies to all tools on our platform — PDFs, images, code files, and any other documents you process.

Information We Collect

Analytics Data

We use Google Analytics (measurement ID: G-JDC8MD828D) to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics collects:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Referring websites and search terms
• Browser type, device type, and operating system
• General geographic location (country/city level)
• Anonymized IP addresses

This data helps us improve our tools and user experience. Google Analytics does not collect any personal information or file data.

Information We Do NOT Collect

• File contents, file names, or file metadata
• Personal identification information (we do not currently have user accounts)
• Payment or financial information
• Email addresses (unless you contact us directly)

Cookies

Our website uses cookies for the following purposes:

• Analytics cookies: Set by Google Analytics to distinguish unique users and track sessions
• Preference cookies: To remember your settings such as dark mode preference

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website functionality but will not impact the core file processing tools.

Data Storage & Security

Since all file processing occurs in your browser, no file data is stored on our servers. Analytics data collected by Google Analytics is processed and stored by Google in accordance with their privacy policy. We do not maintain any databases containing user file data.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics: For website usage analytics. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Hosting provider: Our website is served via standard web hosting. Only standard web server logs (IP addresses, timestamps, requested URLs) may be collected by our hosting provider.

Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Right to access: You can request information about what data we hold about you
• Right to erasure: You can request deletion of your personal data
• Right to object: You can object to our processing of your data
• Right to data portability: You can request a copy of your data in a portable format

Since we do not store file data and only collect anonymized analytics, your exposure is minimal. You can opt out of Google Analytics by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Your Rights Under CCPA

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with specific rights regarding your personal information:

• Right to know: You can request disclosure of personal information we collect
• Right to delete: You can request deletion of personal information
• Right to opt-out: You can opt out of the sale of personal information
• Right to non-discrimination: You will not be discriminated against for exercising your rights

We do not sell personal information to third parties. The analytics data we collect through Google Analytics is used solely for improving our services.

Children's Privacy

FileNaut is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Future Changes

We plan to introduce optional user accounts and premium plans in the future. When these features launch, this Privacy Policy will be updated to reflect any additional data collection. We will notify users of significant changes by posting a notice on our website.
