Privacy Policy

Summary

HEIC Local converts HEIC/HEIF images to JPG or PNG entirely in your browser. Your photos are not uploaded to our servers for conversion.

What we process

• Files you select stay on your device. Conversion uses client-side code (native decode and/or WebAssembly). We do not receive the image bytes on a server as part of the conversion flow.
• Technical logs: standard web hosting / CDN may log IP, user-agent, and request paths for security and reliability.
• Advertising: if Google AdSense is enabled on this site, Google may use cookies or similar technologies as described in Google Privacy & Terms.

What we do not do

• We do not sell your photos.
• We do not require an account to convert files.
• We do not use conversion files to train models.

Optional sign-in

If sign-in is offered, it is optional and not required for conversion. Account data is handled only for authentication features you choose to use.

Third parties

• Hosting / CDN (e.g. Vercel or equivalent)
• Google AdSense (when live ads are enabled)
• Analytics only if explicitly added later (will be listed here)

Your choices

• Do not select files you do not want processed in the browser tab.
• Use browser controls to clear site data.
• Use Google Ad Settings if ads are shown.

What the host actually sees

Hosting on HTTPS at heic-local.vercel.app is not custody of your camera roll and is not an upload of the HEIC. Vercel may see that a browser requested the page, the script, and the WASM chunk — ordinary static assets. Vercel does not receive the File object of a photo beyond the moment your tab reads it, and it never receives the JPEG bytes you download. There is no multipart “convert” form posted to our origin, no presigned bucket, and no “processing queue” email.

Google ads, if they ever fill the mid / footer placeholders, receive the page URL and ordinary ad signals. They do not receive the pixels. Until Site Ready those placeholders stay empty. We do not run analytics that log filenames.

Email is not an upload slot

If you email ultaultimatum@gmail.com, that message is ordinary email. That is why this policy and the contact page both say: do not attach a photo. An attachment would be the first time the operator could see a face. We do not want that inbox to become a drop box. Closing the tab drops the in-memory bitmap. Downloads you saved to disk are yours to delete. We cannot remotely wipe a file we never held.

Changes

We may update this page. The “Last updated” date will change when we do.
