This is the entire privacy story. No lawyer-speak. Last updated 2026-05-26.
When you drop a CSV or Excel file into the tool, the file is parsed and turned into a dashboard inside your browser. The file's contents are never sent to any server. There is no "upload" step.
There is no signup. We don't ask for, and don't have, an email address or any identifier for you.
We don't run Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Mixpanel, Hotjar, or similar trackers ourselves.
We use localStorage for two things: your light/dark theme preference, and whether you've dismissed the cookie notice. Both stay on your device and are never sent anywhere.
The CSV or Excel file you drop is never sent over the network. You can verify this by opening DevTools → Network and watching: dropping a file should produce no requests.
For full transparency, here's everything the page fetches from a third party. None of it sees the CSV file you drop into the tool.
We display advertisements served by Google AdSense (publisher ID ca-pub-6352806306420887). AdSense and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve relevant ads and measure their performance. This is how the site stays free. You can manage your ad personalization at adssettings.google.com, and review Google's ad policies at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. AdSense does not see your CSV content — it only knows the page URL and standard request headers.
We load three font families (Instrument Serif, DM Sans, JetBrains Mono) from fonts.googleapis.com. Google's font CDN may log your IP and User-Agent string per Google's own policy.
React, SheetJS and our own code are served from this domain — no CDNs for code, no analytics libraries, no telemetry.
Under GDPR (EU/UK) and CCPA (California), advertising cookies require informed consent or an opt-out. Google AdSense participates in the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework and will show its own consent prompt where required, respecting your choice — including limited or no ad personalization.

Because we ourselves don't collect any personal data, there is no first-party personal data to access, correct, or delete. For AdSense-collected data, exercise your rights through Google directly.
