Privacy Policy
Last updated:
Introduction
At csv.so, we take your privacy very seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use our website and tools. Our core philosophy is simple: your data belongs to you, not us.
Data Processing
The most important thing to understand about our service is that all data conversion happens in your browser:
- Client-side processing: All CSV conversions and data transformations occur entirely within your web browser using JavaScript.
- No data transmission: The CSV or other data you input is never transmitted to our servers. It remains on your local device.
- No storage: We do not store any of the data you convert. Once you navigate away from our tools, the data is gone unless you have saved it locally.
Information We Collect
We collect minimal information necessary to provide and improve our service:
Anonymous Usage Data
We may collect anonymous usage statistics to help us understand how our tools are being used. This information is collected using standard web analytics tools and may include:
- Pages visited
- Time spent on site
- Referring websites
- Browser type
- Device type
- Geographic region (country-level only)
This information cannot be used to personally identify you and is used solely to improve our service and user experience.
Cookies
We use a minimal set of cookies that are necessary for the basic functionality of our website. These cookies do not track your behavior across other websites and are only used to improve your experience on csv.so.
How We Use Your Information
The limited information we collect is used exclusively to:
- Improve our website and tools
- Analyze usage patterns to prioritize feature development
- Monitor and maintain website performance
- Prevent abuse of our services
Third-Party Services
Our website may use third-party services for analytics and other functionality. These services may collect information as described in their respective privacy policies:
- Google Analytics (for anonymous usage statistics)
We carefully select third-party services that respect user privacy. However, we encourage you to review their privacy policies for more information about how they handle data.
Data Security
Since your CSV and conversion data never leaves your browser, the security of this data is primarily maintained by your own device's security measures. Our website uses HTTPS to ensure secure transmission of any other data between your browser and our servers.
Your Rights
Under various data protection regulations, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. Since we collect minimal personal information, most of these rights are automatically satisfied by our service model. However, you still have the right to:
- Request information about any data we may have collected about you
- Request deletion of any personally identifiable information we may hold
- Opt-out of any future communications from us
Children's Privacy
Our services are not intended for use by children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take steps to remove such information.
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. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
