Privacy Policy for FileLite
Effective Date: November 30, 2025
FileLite values your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information.
1. Information We Collect
Personal Data: We collect email addresses when you sign up for an account or purchase a license. This data is used to manage your account, communicate with you, provide access to our services, and process your purchases.
Usage Data: We collect information about how you use the FileLite application, including compression statistics, feature usage, and performance metrics. This data helps us improve our service and provide analytics within the application.
Device Information: We collect device identifiers and system information to verify licenses and ensure the application runs correctly on your device.
2. Use of Information
Personal Data: Your email address is used for account management, service-related communications, license verification, and providing access to our platform.
Usage Data: Compression statistics and usage data are used to provide analytics within the application, improve our compression algorithms, and enhance the user experience. All processing happens locally on your device.
Device Information: Device identifiers are used solely for license verification and to ensure the application functions properly on your device.
3. Sharing of Data
We do not sell, trade, or share your email address or other personal data with third parties, except as necessary to provide services (e.g., payment processors for license purchases) or comply with legal obligations. All image processing happens locally on your device, and your images never leave your computer.
4. Local Processing
FileLite processes all images locally on your device. Your images are never uploaded to our servers or shared with third parties. All compression, conversion, and processing operations occur entirely on your computer, ensuring complete privacy and security of your files.
5. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal data, including email addresses, from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. Since all image processing happens locally on your device, your images are protected by your device's security measures.
6. User Rights
You may request to access, modify, or delete your email address or other personal data at any time by contacting us. Additionally, you can stop using our services or delete your account to prevent further data collection. Since all image processing is local, you have full control over your image files.
7. Data Retention
We retain your email address and account information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within a reasonable timeframe, except where we are required to retain it for legal or regulatory purposes.
8. Updates to Privacy Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. You will be notified of any material changes via email or through the application.
9. Governing Law
This Privacy Policy is governed by applicable data protection laws. If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), your rights are protected under GDPR.
