Filozy's live document tools process your files in your browser. Using those local tools does not send us your documents. Email correspondence is separate, as explained below.
Document responsibilities and service limitations are explained in our Terms of use. Neither those terms nor this policy removes privacy rights or responsibilities that apply by law.
Who operates Filozy
Operator: Filozy, operating from Ontario, Canada.
For privacy questions or requests, email [email protected]. Please do not include document contents, passwords or identity documents unless they are specifically needed and requested.
If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you send so we can respond and handle your request. Email is separate from the local PDF tools and is handled through Gmail; Google's privacy policy explains that service's processing. Correspondence is kept only as needed to handle the request and meet applicable legal obligations, not for advertising or profiling.
If you attach a document or paste its contents into an email, we receive that information too. Local-tool privacy protections do not apply to sending an email. Prefer a description of the problem or a sample with personal and confidential information removed.
Documents you choose
For tools marked as running on your device, the selected file, filename and finished result remain in your browser. Filozy does not create an account or keep a server copy of those documents. Unsaved work can be lost when you close the tab, clear site data or leave the page.
Filozy does not inspect, approve or verify the ownership or lawfulness of files opened in local tools, and does not receive their contents for storage, analysis or sale. You decide which documents to open and where to send the results. Only process information you are authorised to use, including information about other people. This does not remove our responsibilities for personal information we actually process.
Public web-page conversion
Public web-page-to-PDF conversion is not currently available. Unlike local document tools, it would send the URL to a server to retrieve the page and its linked resources. We will explain its processing before enabling it. Do not submit private, authenticated or confidential addresses, or links containing personal information or access tokens. Your own PDF documents are not involved in that request.
Cookies, analytics and advertising
Advertising is not active. The site includes an AdSense ownership-verification tag only; it does not load Google's ad script or send visitor information to Google. We will update this policy and configure the required privacy choices before enabling advertising.
The document application does not set advertising cookies, build advertising profiles or send document contents, filenames, passwords or recognized text to advertising or analytics services. We do not sell personal information or share it for targeted advertising. Advertising remains off for every visitor, including visitors who send a Global Privacy Control signal.
Cloudflare Web Analytics is currently added by our hosting provider to measure website visits and performance. This is separate from advertising. Its reports can include pages visited, referring websites, approximate country, browser, operating system, device type and loading timings. Cloudflare also receives the connection information needed to deliver these requests. See Cloudflare's analytics description and reported data categories. This means a visit to a tool page may be measured; the document operation itself remains local.
The current automatic Cloudflare measurement is not controlled by an on-site analytics preference. The clear-site-data button below removes local Filozy data; it does not switch off the hosting provider's measurement.
Analytics and advertising serve different purposes and must not be treated as one permission. We will explain the purposes, providers and available controls before introducing advertising or additional optional measurement. Continuing to use a PDF tool is not consent to advertising. Contact our privacy team below with a question or objection about current processing.
Preferences saved on your device
If you choose a colour theme, preview size or favourite tools, that preference can be saved on your device for up to 12 months. Starting or continuing a workflow temporarily saves a copy of your PDF in this browser so the next tool can open it. The copy is deleted when claimed. Unclaimed copies expire after one hour and are removed the next time a workflow opens, or when you clear site data below. Expiry cannot delete data while your browser is closed. These preferences and workflow copies are not used for advertising or profiling.
The OCR tool requests language files from this website when needed, without sending your document or recognized text. Like other websites, site files may remain in your browser's ordinary cache. Use your browser's site-data settings to clear that cache.
Browser storage is not a private vault or guaranteed secure deletion service. People with access to the same browser profile may be able to access saved data. Downloads, browser extensions, device backups and operating-system recovery features are controlled separately; clearing Filozy data cannot remove every copy they may hold. On a shared device, save results somewhere you control, clear local data and close the tool tabs when finished.
Removes saved preferences, unclaimed workflow files and the older OCR language cache. Close other Filozy tabs if asked. Downloaded files and your browser's ordinary website cache are not removed.
Website hosting
The site is hosted by Cloudflare Pages. The hosting provider may receive ordinary connection information, such as your IP address, requested page, browser headers and access time, when it delivers the website. That request does not include the contents of a document you selected for a local tool. Cloudflare's privacy statement explains its processing.
Our service providers may process connection information and correspondence outside Canada, where other countries' laws and lawful access requirements can apply. This does not move the documents processed by local tools out of your browser.
External links
If you follow a link to another website, that site's privacy policy applies. Filozy does not control external services.
Children and sensitive information
The service is not directed to children and is not a regulated document repository. Keep your original files and avoid sharing confidential documents or passwords in public.
Security and lawful requests
Local processing reduces document transmission, but no website, browser, device or email service is risk-free. Keep your browser and device updated. Report a suspected security or privacy problem to [email protected] without sending passwords or sensitive documents.
We may need to preserve or disclose information we actually hold, such as relevant correspondence, when required by applicable law or a valid legal process. That does not give us access to documents stored only in your browser. Our legal duties to protect personal information still apply.
Your choices and rights
You control the documents and preferences kept in your browser and can remove them using the controls above or your browser settings. Depending on the law that applies and the information processed, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or receive personal information, object to or restrict its use, and complain to a data-protection authority. Connection information processed by the hosting provider is covered by its privacy statement.
Send requests about correspondence or other information we hold to [email protected]. We cannot retrieve or erase files kept only on your device remotely. You do not have to give up a privacy right, complaint or legal remedy to use a tool or contact us.
For Canadian privacy concerns, you can also contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. Visitors elsewhere may contact their applicable privacy authority. We handle requests under the deadlines and rights that apply to the information and your circumstances.
Policy changes
We will update the date above when this policy changes materially.
