Privacy

Last updated: 11 October 2026

The desktop apps

• The apps run completely on your computer and work without internet.
• Your documents, spreadsheets, PDFs, pictures and databases are opened and saved only on your computer. They are never uploaded to us or anyone else.
• The apps don't send usage statistics, crash reports or any other data (“telemetry”), and they don't check for updates in the background.
• Settings (like recent files or your preferred zoom) are stored only on your computer.

The apps only use the internet when you start something that needs it:

• Converter → Download from Link (if included in your version) contacts the website whose link you paste, to download that file.
• Converter → Update Downloader downloads the newest version of the download component from the Python Package Index (pypi.org).
• Clicking a web link (for example to this website) opens it in your browser.

The optional AI connection (Claude)

The installer has an option, off by default, that lets Claude – an AI assistant made by Anthropic – use the apps for you, in Claude Desktop or Claude Code. If you turn it on and ask Claude to work with a file, the parts of the file that Claude reads become part of your conversation with Claude and are processed by Anthropic under Anthropic's privacy policy. We never see or receive any of it. If you don't turn this option on, nothing is shared with any AI service. You can switch it off any time: remove the “ethical-suite” connector in Claude's settings, or uninstall EthicalApp (which removes the connection too).

This website and the online tools

• Files you use in the online tools are processed inside your own browser. They are never uploaded – the website has no server that could receive them. The results are made on your device, and everything is gone when you close the page. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page has loaded and the tools keep working.
• No cookies, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party scripts or fonts. Everything the site needs is served from this site.
• Your choice of light or dark mode is remembered in your own browser's storage. It never leaves your device.
• Like every website, the hosting provider that delivers these pages may keep standard technical logs (such as IP address, time and the page requested) for security and to keep the service running. We don't use these to track or identify visitors.

Support payments

Support payments are handled by our payment provider (Stripe) on its own secure page – we never see your card details. We receive the information needed to record the payment and send a receipt, such as your name, email address and the amount. We use it only for that and for our accounting obligations, and we never sell or share it. Stripe's handling of your data is described in Stripe's privacy policy.

Emails

If you email us, we use your email only to reply to you, and delete it when it's no longer needed.

Your rights

Because we don't collect personal data from the apps or the website, there's usually nothing for us to show, change or delete. For payment records or emails, contact us and we'll help: .

Changes

If this ever changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top before the change happens. We'll never start collecting data quietly.
