Privacy policy

Every tool on OS Authority runs inside your web browser. When you choose, drop, paste or photograph a file, it is read and processed by code running on your own phone, tablet or computer. Files, their names and their contents are never uploaded to us or to anyone else, and we cannot see them.

Results are created on your device and saved directly from it. When you close the page, nothing remains except the files you chose to download or share.

We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and understand which tools are useful. It records the pages you visit, the referring website, your approximate location (country and city), and your device and browser type. Google Analytics 4 does not store IP addresses.

Tools also report anonymous events such as "a file was processed", with rounded sizes (for example "1–10 MB") and the time taken in ranges. File names, contents and exact sizes are never recorded.

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google Analytics sets no cookies unless you agree to them (see below). Anywhere, you can opt out with Google's browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The site is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes your IP address and technical request data to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse, under its own privacy policy. We do not use this data to identify you.

Google Analytics sets two cookies (_ga and _ga_*) to tell visits apart; they contain a random identifier, not your name or files, and expire after up to 2 years.

To keep the tools free, we show or may show ads from Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Google's advertising cookies let it and its partners show you ads based on those visits. You can turn off personalised ads in Google's My Ad Center (myadcenter.google.com), and opt out of other vendors' personalised ads at www.aboutads.info. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we request only non-personalised ads.

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, a consent message from Google, a certified consent management platform, asks for your choice before any advertising or analytics cookies are used. It stores that choice in a cookie, and you can change it at any time from the privacy settings link it shows on the page. Ads never appear inside a tool and never have access to your files.

We hold no account or file data about you. For analytics data, you can use Google's opt-out add-on, or ask us to delete data linked to your browser's analytics identifier. This notice is provided in line with Malaysia's Personal Data Protection Act 2010.
