Privacy policy

01What Filnixa does with your files

Filnixa checks and fixes image files in your browser. When you select a file, your own browser reads it, measures it and, if you ask, resizes, converts or compresses it. The file is not uploaded to Filnixa for processing, and we never see its contents.

When you remove or replace a file, or close the page, the browser copy is released.

02What we collect

• Technical request information. Like most websites, the hosting and infrastructure that serve Filnixa may receive and log technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device information, timestamps and request metadata. This is used to deliver the site, keep it secure and diagnose problems.
• Messages you send us. If you contact us, we receive your email address and whatever you write.

03What we do not collect

• The image files you check or fix, and their contents.
• Account information. Filnixa has no accounts and no sign-up.
• Analytics or advertising profiles. Filnixa does not use analytics or tracking cookies.

04Why we use this information and our lawful basis

We use technical request information to operate and protect the site. Where data protection law applies, our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in running a functional, secure website.

If you contact us, we use your message and email address to reply. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in responding to you, or taking steps at your request.

05Who we share information with

The companies that host and deliver the site process technical request information on our behalf so the site can run. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers.

We may disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the rights and safety of Filnixa, its users or others.

06How long information is kept

We do not keep your files: they never leave your device.

Server and security logs are kept only for as long as needed to run and protect the site, following the retention settings of our hosting infrastructure. We will state exact periods here once they are confirmed.

If you email us, we keep the conversation for as long as needed to deal with it, then delete it unless we need to keep it for a legal reason.

07Security

The site is served over HTTPS. Because your files are processed on your own device, they are not exposed to us in transit. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we limit what exists to protect in the first place by not collecting your files.

08Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to how we use it, receive a copy in a portable format, and withdraw consent where we rely on it. To use any of these rights, contact us at the address below. We may need to verify your request.

09International transfers

The infrastructure that delivers Filnixa may process technical information in countries other than your own. Where the law requires safeguards for those transfers, we rely on the safeguards provided by our infrastructure providers.

10Children

Filnixa is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Because files are processed on the user's own device, children can use the checker without sending us anything.

11How to complain

If you are unhappy with how we handle your information, contact us first and we will try to resolve it. You also have the right to complain to your data protection authority. In the UK that is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). If you live elsewhere, you can contact your local authority.

12Changes to this policy

If we change how Filnixa handles information, we will update this page and change the date at the top before the change takes effect.
