Convy

Privacy Policy

Summary

Convy's privacy policy is designed to put you first. All conversions (except videos) happen locally on your browser. Videos are deleted after being downloaded, or an hour, unless explicitly given permission by you to be stored; it will only be used for the purpose of troubleshooting. Convy self-hosts a Coolify instance for hosting the website and vertd (for video conversion). We use third-party advertising services which utilize standard tracking cookies to provide ads.

Note this may only apply to the official Convy instance at convy.dorlink.me; third-party instances may handle your data differently.

Conversions

Most conversions (images, documents, audio) happen entirely locally on your device using WebAssembly versions of the relevant tools (e.g. ImageMagick, Pandoc, FFmpeg). This means your files never leave your device and we will never have access to them.

Video conversions are performed on our servers because they require more processing power and cannot be done very quickly on the browser yet. Videos you convert with Convy are deleted after being downloaded, or after one hour, unless you explicitly give permission for us to store them longer purely for troubleshooting purposes.

Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display ads. Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Conversion Errors

When a video conversion fails, we may collect some anonymous data to help us diagnose the issue. This data may include:
  • The job ID, which is the anonymized file name
  • The format you converted from
  • The format you converted to
  • The FFmpeg stderr output of your job (error message)
  • The actual video file (if given explicit permission)
This information is used solely for the purpose of diagnosing conversion issues. The actual video file will only ever be collected if you give us permission to do so, where it will only be used for troubleshooting.

Analytics

We self-host a Plausible instance for completely anonymous and aggregated analytics. Plausible does not use cookies and complies with all major privacy regulations (GDPR/CCPA/PECR). You can opt out of analytics in the "Privacy & data" section in settings and read more about Plausible's privacy practices here.

Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to save your application settings, like theme modes and formats.

The WebAssembly versions of the conversion tools we use (FFmpeg, ImageMagick, Pandoc) are also stored locally on your browser temporarily so you don't need to redownload them excessively. No personal data is stored or transmitted by these mechanics. You may view or delete this data at any time in the "Privacy & data" section in settings.
