Our Core Privacy Promise
Your files are processed locally in your browser. BeforeShare is designed so inspection and cleaning happen on your device. The normal product flow does not require us to receive the contents of your files.
Information We Do Not Collect
- Uploaded files
- The visible contents of files
- Metadata extracted from files
- Cleaned file outputs
- Personal information contained inside files
Operational Data We May Process
Like most websites, BeforeShare may use basic operational telemetry to keep the service working and understand which pages are useful. That can include page views, browser type, device category, referral source, and coarse region information.
Cookies and Language Preference
The site may store lightweight cookies needed for product behavior, such as remembering your language choice. If analytics or other optional tools are enabled later, those should be disclosed through your consent flow.
Security Approach
Keeping file processing in the browser significantly reduces server-side exposure. It does not replace careful review when a file contains sensitive visible content, but it does remove an important class of avoidable leakage.
Product Limits
BeforeShare removes hidden metadata. It does not automatically redact visible text, signatures, screenshots, or the visible content rendered on a page. Users should review files before sharing them when the stakes are high.
