Privacy & Local File Processing

MakeFileWork is designed to keep file contents in your browser whenever the selected workflow supports local processing.

Files

Files are not sent to MakeFileWork application servers for the browser-side tools described on this site. OCR may download its engine and language models from the permitted model/CDN hosts; the selected file itself is not sent to those model providers by MakeFileWork.

Product telemetry

The service records closed-category events such as page visits, workflow family, operation, detected file type, locale, surface, success/failure class, recovery quality and anonymous future-offer choices. Filenames, file contents and the free text you type into the assistant are rejected by the telemetry endpoint.

Anonymous visit measurement

To measure daily unique visits and the steps reached within one visit, MakeFileWork creates random browser identifiers. A daily visitor identifier rotates each local day and a session identifier ends with the browser session. They are not linked to an account, email, filename or file contents. The dashboard stores the visited path, coarse device class, external referrer host when available and closed-category product events.

Optional Google Analytics

Google Analytics is not loaded until you explicitly accept the optional analytics control. If you decline, MakeFileWork does not load the Google Analytics script. Your choice is stored locally in your browser as mfw_ga_consent.

Hosting data

Like any hosted website, the hosting and network provider may process standard request metadata such as IP address, user agent, time and requested URL for security and delivery. MakeFileWork currently uses Vercel for hosting. Product analytics are stored in a separate Supabase project in the European Union.

Browser storage

MakeFileWork may use local or session browser storage for a rotating daily visit identifier, the current session identifier and the local timestamp mfw_last_download and your optional analytics choice mfw_ga_consent. These values do not contain file names, file contents or free text.

Payments and accounts

There are currently no user accounts or checkout on MakeFileWork. The post-download price choices are anonymous product research and do not charge you.

Contact and future changes

Before accounts, payments or marketing profiles are introduced, MakeFileWork will publish the additional controller/contact information and any consent controls required for those features. This page will be updated when processing changes.
