Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 11, 2024

At Base64 Converter, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our Base64 encoding and decoding tool.

The Short Version

We don't collect, store, or transmit any of your data. All Base64 encoding and decoding happens entirely in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

Information We Don't Collect

Unlike many online tools, Base64 Converter operates entirely client-side. This means:

  • We don't collect the text you encode or decode
  • We don't collect the files you upload
  • We don't store your conversion history
  • We don't track your usage patterns
  • We don't collect personal information
  • We don't use cookies for tracking
  • We don't share data with third parties (because we don't have any data to share)

How Our Tool Works

When you use Base64 Converter:

  1. You enter text or upload a file in your browser
  2. JavaScript code running in your browser performs the encoding or decoding
  3. The result is displayed in your browser
  4. Nothing is sent to our servers

This client-side approach ensures complete privacy and security for your data.

Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage only to save your preferences, such as:

  • Your theme preference (dark mode or light mode)

This data is stored locally on your device and is never transmitted to our servers. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's local storage.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand general usage patterns, such as:

  • Number of visitors
  • Pages viewed
  • General geographic location (country level)
  • Browser and device type

These analytics are aggregated and anonymized. They do not include any information about what you encode or decode.

Third-Party Services

Our website may load resources from third-party services:

  • Google Fonts: We use Google Fonts to display beautiful typography. Google may collect basic usage data. See Google's Privacy Policy.

Data Security

Since we don't collect or store your data, there's no risk of your data being compromised in a breach. Your data stays on your device, under your control.

We do implement standard security measures for our website, including:

  • HTTPS encryption for all connections
  • Regular security updates
  • Secure hosting infrastructure

Children's Privacy

Our service does not collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13. Since all processing happens client-side, there is no risk to children's privacy.

International Users

Base64 Converter can be used from anywhere in the world. Since all processing happens in your browser, there are no international data transfer concerns.

Your Rights

Since we don't collect your data, there's no data to access, modify, or delete. You have complete control over your data because it never leaves your device.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
