DataPolish was built with privacy as a first principle. This page explains exactly what happens — and what does not happen — when you use the site.
1. The data you process never leaves your browser
All text transformations (PDF layout fixing, HTML stripping, Excel-to-Markdown conversion, AI prompt optimization) run entirely in your browser using JavaScript. The content you paste is processed locally on your device and is never sent to any server, never stored, and never logged anywhere outside your browser session.
2. No tracking, no analytics, no cookies
DataPolish does not use cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, or any other client-side storage. There are no analytics scripts (no Google Analytics, no Plausible, no Fathom, nothing). There is no fingerprinting, no advertising pixels, and no third-party tracking embeds.
3. Web server logs
The server hosting datapolish.org records standard web
server access logs as part of its normal operation. These logs
include:
- Your IP address
- The date and time of the request
- The page or file you requested
- Your browser's User-Agent string
- The referring URL (if your browser sends one)
These logs are used solely for diagnosing technical issues and detecting abuse. They are rotated automatically and are not shared with any third party. Under the GDPR, the legal basis for this processing is legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)) — namely, the secure operation of the website.
4. Google Fonts
DataPolish loads two typefaces (Inter and
JetBrains Mono) from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com
and fonts.gstatic.com). When your browser fetches these
fonts, your IP address is briefly visible to Google's servers. No
additional data is sent. If you prefer to avoid this entirely, browser
extensions such as uBlock Origin or LocalCDN can block or substitute
these requests.
5. Outbound links
DataPolish contains one outbound link in the footer (to another small project: BikeGearDecoder). Clicking it takes you to a separate site with its own privacy policy. DataPolish does not share any data with that site.
6. Your rights under the GDPR
Because DataPolish does not collect, store, or process personal data beyond the minimal server logs described above, there is very little for you to request, correct, or delete. If you want your IP address removed from the access logs, contact the maintainer via the GitHub link below, including the approximate date and time of your visits.
7. Open source
DataPolish is fully open source. You can audit every line of code and every server configuration file at github.com/tosko21-ux/datapolish.
8. Contact
DataPolish is an independent open-source project maintained by Tomas. For privacy-related questions, open an issue at the GitHub repository linked above.
9. Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this URL and the "Last updated" date at the top will be revised. There is no mailing list to notify, because DataPolish does not collect email addresses.
