Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 25, 2025

Introduction

Welcome to xlsx-to-csv.com ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your data. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our XLSX to CSV converter tool (the "Service"). By using our Service, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Your Files Are Completely Private

Client-Side Processing: All file conversions happen entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. When you upload an XLSX or XLS file to convert to CSV format, the file never leaves your device or gets transmitted to our servers.

No File Storage: We do not store, save, or have access to any files you upload or convert using our Service. Your data remains on your device at all times during the conversion process.

Temporary Memory Only: Files are temporarily held in your browser's memory only during the conversion process. Once you close the browser tab or navigate away from the page, all data is immediately cleared from memory.

Information We Collect

Usage Data

We may collect non-personal information about how you interact with our Service, including:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent on the Service
  • Referring website addresses
  • General geographic location (country/region level)

Technical Information

Our web server automatically collects standard technical information such as IP addresses and access times for security and analytical purposes. This information is aggregated and does not identify individual users.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Essential Cookies: We use essential cookies to remember your preferences, such as your selected theme (light or dark mode). These cookies are necessary for the Service to function properly.

Analytics Cookies: We may use analytics services to understand how visitors use our Service. These tools help us improve the user experience by analyzing usage patterns, popular features, and technical performance. Analytics data is collected in an anonymized format.

Managing Cookies: You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.

Advertising

Our Service displays advertisements to support the free availability of our XLSX to CSV converter tool. Third-party advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your browsing activity and interests.

These advertising partners may collect information about your visits to our Service and other websites to provide relevant advertisements. This information does not include any files you upload or convert, as those never leave your browser.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page or by adjusting your browser's privacy settings.

How We Use Information

We use the non-personal information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To operate and maintain the Service
  • To improve and optimize the user experience
  • To analyze usage patterns and identify technical issues
  • To prevent fraud and ensure security
  • To display relevant advertisements
  • To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share aggregated, non-personal information with:

  • Service Providers: Third-party vendors who assist with hosting, analytics, and advertising services
  • Legal Requirements: When required by law or to protect our rights, we may disclose information to law enforcement or regulatory authorities
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred to the acquiring entity

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the limited information we collect. However, please note that since your files are processed entirely in your browser and never transmitted to our servers, the primary security responsibility lies with your device and browser security. We recommend keeping your browser and operating system updated with the latest security patches.

Third-Party Links

Our Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your information, including:

  • The right to access information we hold about you (though we hold minimal data)
  • The right to request deletion of your information from our analytics
  • The right to opt out of personalized advertising through browser settings
  • The right to disable cookies through your browser preferences

International Users

Our Service is accessible globally. If you are accessing the Service from outside the country where our servers are located, please be aware that your information may be processed in a different jurisdiction. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of information to countries that may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.
