Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 15, 2026
Privacy is a core value at FileFlowOne. We believe your files are yours — not ours. This policy explains exactly what happens to your data.
Audio/Video Files
Processed 100% in your browser via FFmpeg WebAssembly. Never sent to any server.
Documents & Images
Sent to our conversion server, processed immediately, then permanently discarded. Never stored.
AI Features
Text is sent to Groq AI API for detection/humanization. Groq's privacy policy applies.

1. What We Collect
FileFlowOne is designed to collect as little data as possible. Here is exactly what we do and do not collect:
Processed and immediately discarded — not stored
Forwarded to Groq AI — see section 3
Stored in your own browser only — we never access it
2. How Files Are Processed
🎵 Audio & Video Files — 100% Browser-Based
When you convert or compress audio/video files, the entire process happens inside your browser using FFmpeg WebAssembly. Your file data is never transmitted to our servers or any third-party server. This is the most privacy-respecting conversion method possible.
📄 Document, Image & SQL Files — Server Conversion
Files in formats such as Markdown, DOCX, PDF, HTML, JSON, YAML, CSV, PNG, JPEG, and SQL are sent to our conversion API for processing. This is necessary because certain conversions (e.g., rendering PDFs, converting DOCX) require server-side software.
Important: We do not store your files. Files are held in memory only for the duration of conversion (typically under 5 seconds) and then discarded. No file content is written to disk, logged, or retained.
3. AI Features & Third-Party APIs
FileFlowOne's AI tools (AI Content Detection and AI Text Humanizer) are powered by Groq AI, a third-party API service.
When you use these features:
- Your text content is transmitted to Groq's servers for processing
- Groq's own Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply
- We do not store or log the text you submit to AI features
- AI features are optional — you can use the converter without them
We recommend not submitting sensitive personal information, confidential business data, or identifying details through AI features.
4. Browser Storage (localStorage)
FileFlowOne uses your browser's localStorage to save your editor draft automatically. This data:
- Is stored only in your browser — we cannot access or read it
- Never leaves your device
- Can be cleared at any time via your browser settings
- Is not synced across devices
No other browser storage mechanisms (sessionStorage, IndexedDB, cookies) are used for persistent data.
6. Third-Party Services
Use: AI content detection and text humanization
Data involved: Text content you submit to AI features
Use: Loading FFmpeg WebAssembly core for audio/video conversion

7. Children's Privacy
FileFlowOne does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). Since we collect no personal information from any user, we do not distinguish between adult and child users.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has submitted personal information in connection with our service, please contact us via GitHub.
8. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)
As we collect no personal data, most rights under GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California) are automatically satisfied. Specifically:
- Right to access: We hold no personal data about you to provide
- Right to erasure: Nothing to erase on our end; clear your localStorage to erase local data
- Right to portability: No personal data is held
- Right to object: No data processing to object to
- Do Not Sell: We do not sell, trade, or share any user data
If you have GDPR/CCPA concerns regarding data sent to Groq AI, please refer to Groq's privacy policy and exercise your rights directly with them.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be reflected in the “Last Updated” date. Significant changes will be announced via our GitHub repository.
Since we collect no personal data, changes to this policy will primarily reflect changes in third-party services we use or in how file processing works.
