Privacy policy
Data you convert
Text and files that you encode or decode are processed locally in your web browser and are not sent to our servers. The only exceptions are features that by nature need a server: loading a file from a URL (when the remote server blocks direct browser access), the HTTP request tool, the gzip test and encoding to a few multi-byte character sets. In those cases the data is relayed in memory and is not stored or logged.
Comments and contact messages
When you post a comment or send a message we store your name, message, optional rating and optional e-mail address. E-mail addresses are never published and are used only to notify you about replies (if you asked for it) or to answer your message. We store a salted, irreversible hash of your IP address to prevent spam and abuse; we do not store the IP address itself. You can ask us to delete your comment at any time via the contact page.
