BrightTools
Privacy Policy
Document processing and privacy
Files are uploaded to the BrightTools server only when you start conversion. Editing, preview and ZIP creation happen in your browser.
Temporary files and results are deleted after success, failure or timeout. Crash leftovers are removed within 16 minutes while the service is running, or at its next startup. Results are not stored long term. Logs and analytics exclude original filenames and document content.
Complex layouts, charts, formulas and images may not survive conversion. Check extracted text and tables before using them. No OCR, URL fetching, ZIP input, audio, video or AI image recognition.
Document to MarkdownThis policy describes the current static BrightTools site. QR inputs, Wi-Fi credentials and contact details stay in your browser. Document uploads are described above. The background-removal tool is different: it sends selected images to the configured server processor for inference, then clears the uploaded source image after processing.
Local processing
QR codes and browser-supported file operations are performed on your device. Background-removal inference runs on the configured server processor; its request-scoped upload buffers are cleared after processing, while preview rendering, edits and export happen in your browser. Browser-generated results are not sent to the server. Document conversion uses temporary server files as described above. If a deployment points to an external processor, that processor's retention policy applies.
Analytics and ads
If configured by the site owner, Google Analytics 4 or Cloudflare Web Analytics may receive page and non-sensitive tool events. Event parameters exclude user content. Adsterra and other advertising partners may load their own scripts, cookies or similar technologies when approved units are enabled. Review your browser controls and the active network configuration for details.
