Privacy & Security: How Local Processing Works
Understand what “client-side only” means and how FreeStatementToCSV keeps files on your device.
Last updated: 2026-01-04
Overview
FreeStatementToCSV is designed to be privacy-first: files are processed locally in your browser, without uploads.

Step-by-step
- 1) You open the tool page in your browser.
- 2) You select files from your device.
- 3) Processing happens locally in memory (PDF parsing, OCR, table extraction).
- 4) Exports are generated locally and downloaded to your device.
- 5) Analytics (if enabled) only tracks anonymous usage events — never file content.

Troubleshooting
- If you’re on a locked-down device, try a modern browser (Chrome/Edge/Firefox).
- Large PDFs can be slower; split or extract pages first.
- If you prefer zero analytics, decline consent — tools still work.
FAQ
Do my files ever leave my device?
No. Files never leave your device.
What analytics do you collect?
Only after consent: basic page views and anonymized event counts (no filenames, no file content).
