Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 7, 2026
At FileSwiftly, we consider your privacy to be fundamental. This policy details how we collect, use, and protect your data when you use fileswiftly.com (the "Service").
By using our Service, you consent to the practices described below.
1 Types of Data Collected
We collect information to improve your experience and ensure the proper functioning of our tools.
Non-Personal Data
Anonymous technical information (browser type, operating system, approximate country, usage statistics). This data does not identify you.
Personal Data
IP address (used only for anti-spam rate limiting), device identifiers, session cookies. If you contact us: your name and email address.
Usage Data
Pages visited, visit duration, errors encountered.
2 File Handling (Ephemeral Processing)
FileSwiftly is designed to be a transit tool, not a storage service.
Confidentiality
Your files are neither read nor shared with third parties. They are renamed with random identifiers.
Deleted within 1h
All files are permanently deleted after 1 hour via automated cleanup (cron every 30 min + API every 10 min).
Local processing
Generators (QR Code, Password) run entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to the server.
Double deletion: A system cron removes files older than 60 minutes every 30 minutes. The Node.js API performs an additional cleanup every 10 minutes. Temporary conversion files are deleted immediately after processing.

Analyzes visitor behavior (pageviews, duration, traffic sources) to improve our tools. Enabled only with your consent via Google Consent Mode v2. Cookies set: _ga, _ga_* (duration: 2 years). Google's policy.
Google AdSense

6 Data Security

All communications are encrypted via SSL certificate.

Every upload is protected by a unique token against forged requests.

Every file is validated by its real MIME type, not just its extension.

Access Blocked
Sensitive folders (API, config, cron) are inaccessible from the web.
No method of Internet transmission is 100% secure. We commit to informing you in case of a major security breach.
