❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is my data really secure?

Absolutely. Your data never leaves your browser. All processing happens locally on your device, making it impossible for us or anyone else to access your information. This is more secure than even encrypted transmission because there's no transmission at all.

2. Do you store any of my files or text?

No, we do not store any files, text, or data you process. Everything is handled in your browser's temporary memory and is automatically cleared when you close the tab or navigate away.

3. Can you see my cryptographic keys?

No, we cannot see your cryptographic keys, passwords, or any encrypted content. All cryptographic operations are performed locally in your browser using industry-standard libraries.

4. What about Google Analytics?

We use Google Analytics only to understand which tools are most popular and improve our service. This data is completely anonymized and doesn't include any of your processed content or personal information.

5. Do you use cookies?

We use minimal cookies only for essential functionality and anonymous analytics. No tracking cookies or persistent data storage is used for your processed content.

6. Can I use these tools offline?

Yes! Once the page loads, most tools work offline because all processing happens in your browser. This further ensures your data privacy and security.

7. What if I find a security issue?

If you discover any security concerns, please contact us immediately. We take security seriously and will address any issues promptly.

8. Are you compliant with privacy laws?
