Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2, 2026
The short version
- Your files are processed entirely in your browser. They are never uploaded, stored, or seen by us — we run no servers that receive file data.
- No accounts, no sign-up, and no advertising trackers.
- Filenest sets no cookies.
- Anonymous, cookie-free usage statistics are collected only if you allow them in the consent banner.
Your files
Every Filenest tool reads and processes files locally on your device using your browser's built-in File and Canvas APIs. There is no upload endpoint. You can verify this at any time: open your browser's Network tab while using a tool, or disconnect from the internet after the page loads — the tool keeps working.
Because your files never reach us, we cannot access, retain, share, or sell them — there is nothing on our side to access.
Cookies and local storage
Filenest does not use cookies. The site stores exactly one value in your browser's local storage: your analytics consent choice (so we don't ask again). It stays on your device and you can clear it at any time through your browser settings.
Analytics (opt-in)
If — and only if — you choose "Allow stats" in the consent banner, we load Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused, cookie-free analytics service. It records aggregate page views: the page URL, referrer, browser and operating system family, device type, and country. It uses no cookies, stores no persistent identifiers, and does not track you across sites.
The analytics script never reads, touches, or reports anything about your files, and no analytics request is triggered by file processing. If you decline, no analytics script is loaded at all.
Your rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act, and similar laws, you have rights to access, correct, and delete personal data. Filenest is built so that we hold no personal data about you: files stay on your device, there are no accounts, and analytics (if you opted in) is anonymous and aggregated, so it cannot be linked back to you. We do not sell personal information.
If you have any privacy question or request, email hello@filenest.tools and we'll respond as quickly as we can.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the "Last updated" date above. We will never quietly weaken the core promise: Your files never leave your device.
