Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 14, 2026.
This Privacy Policy explains how FileMetaCleaner.com handles information when you use the Website.
1. Files and Metadata
The Website processes supported files locally in your browser. Selected file contents and the metadata detected in them are not uploaded to our servers for cleaning.
The cleaned file is created on your device. Files and results are available only during your current browser session unless you choose to download a cleaned file yourself.
2. Accounts and Personal Information
The Website does not require user accounts and does not provide file storage or a user database. We do not ask you to provide personal information in order to use the cleaner.
3. Support Emails
If you contact us by email, we receive the information that you choose to include in your message, such as your email address and the content of your inquiry. We use this information only to respond to and manage your request.
Please do not send us private files or sensitive personal information by email unless it is necessary and you are comfortable doing so.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website may use strictly necessary technologies needed to deliver, secure, or operate the Website. FileMetaCleaner.com does not set advertising cookies. If analytics, advertising, or additional data-processing features are added in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated before those features are released.
5. Optional Donations and Service Providers
File Meta Cleaner is free to use. The Website provides an optional link to NOWPayments for users who wish to support the project with cryptocurrency.
NOWPayments is opened only when you choose to make a donation. File Meta Cleaner does not send NOWPayments your files, file contents, or detected metadata. Any payment information or other data you provide to NOWPayments is processed by NOWPayments under its own privacy policy and terms.
We may also use service providers for functions such as website hosting, domain and DNS services, and email. These providers may process limited technical or contact information as necessary to provide their services.
6. Retention
We do not retain files submitted to the cleaner because they are not sent to our servers. Support emails may be kept for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the request, maintain records, or meet legal obligations.
7. Changes and Contact
We may update this Privacy Policy as the Website changes. The current version will be posted on this page. For any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us.
