Your Privacy Matters: Chameleon Converter is designed with privacy-first principles. Most conversions happen directly in your browser without uploading files to our servers.
1. Information We Collect
Files and Data Processing
- Client-Side Processing: For supported formats (HEIC, basic image conversions), your files are processed entirely in your browser and never leave your device.
- Server-Side Processing: For complex conversions requiring server processing, files are temporarily uploaded, encrypted during storage, and immediately deleted after conversion.
- No Permanent Storage: We do not permanently store any files, documents, or personal content you convert.
Analytics and Usage Data
- Basic usage analytics through Google Analytics (anonymized)
- Conversion counts and file types (for service improvement)
- Error logs (containing no personal data)
