Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how File-Extensions.org ("we", "us", "the website") collects, uses, and protects information when you use this website.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect the information necessary to operate the website and respond to you:

• Contact form: when you use our Contact page, we store the name, email address, topic, and message you provide, together with a hashed (non-reversible) version of your IP address and your browser's user agent, so that we can reply to you and prevent abuse of the form.
• Online File Analyzer: if you upload a file to be analyzed, the file is processed automatically (including a malware scan) and deleted immediately afterwards. A hashed version of your IP address is kept for a limited time to enforce upload rate limits and is automatically removed after 30 days.
• Usage data: like most websites, we automatically collect basic technical information about your visit (pages viewed, browser type, approximate location, referring website) through Google Analytics.

2. Cookies

The website uses cookies and similar technologies. See our Cookie Policy for details on which cookies we use and how you can control them.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above to respond to your messages, operate and secure the Online File Analyzer, understand how the website is used so that we can improve it, and, where enabled, display advertising.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services, each of which processes data under its own privacy policy:

• Google Analytics - website usage statistics.
• Google AdSense - advertising, on pages where ads are enabled.
• Cloudflare - content delivery and protection against abuse and attacks.

5. Data Retention

Contact messages are kept so that we can track and follow up on your request. Files uploaded to the Online File Analyzer are deleted immediately after processing.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data. To exercise these rights, please contact us via our Contact page.

7. Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
