Last Updated: March 15, 2024

1. Overview

Welcome to Mscape File Converter ("we," "our," or "us"). We operate the website mscape.me (the "Service").

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Service. Unlike most online file converters, we have designed Mscape with privacy as our core principle.

Our Privacy Promise

All file processing happens locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device, never get uploaded to our servers, and we never store any of your data.

2. Information We Collect

Mscape is designed to minimize data collection. Here's what we do and don't collect:

2.1 Files You Convert

We do NOT collect, store, or transmit your files. All file processing (conversion, compression, editing) happens entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your device.

2.2 Usage Information

We may collect anonymous usage data to improve our service:

  • Browser type and version to ensure compatibility
  • Operating system for optimization purposes
  • Date and time of access for analytics
  • Pages visited and tools used to understand user preferences
  • Anonymized IP address for security and geographic analysis

2.3 Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal cookies for essential functions:

  • Session cookies: To maintain your preferences during your visit
  • Analytics cookies: Anonymous tracking to improve our service
  • No third-party tracking cookies for advertising

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features may not work properly.

3. How We Use Information

Any information we collect is used solely to:

  • Provide and maintain our Service
  • Improve and optimize our tools
  • Monitor usage patterns to enhance user experience
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues
  • Ensure security and prevent abuse

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures:

Our Security Features

  • HTTPS encryption for all communications
  • Local processing - files stay on your device
  • No server storage of your files
  • Regular security audits of our codebase
  • Secure third-party services when necessary

While we take reasonable precautions, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. However, since we don't store your files, your data is inherently more secure with Mscape.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services for:

  • Analytics: Google Analytics (anonymous data only)
  • Hosting: Secure cloud hosting providers
  • Advertising: Google AdSense (contextual ads only)

These third parties have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

  • Right to Access: Request details of information we hold about you
  • Right to Correction: Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Right to Deletion: Request deletion of your information
  • Right to Opt-Out: Opt-out of data collection where applicable
  • Right to Data Portability: Request your data in a portable format

To exercise these rights, contact us at: [email protected]

7. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13.

If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our 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.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
