Privacy Policy

Summary

Images, audio, and documents are normally converted locally in your browser. Videos are uploaded for server processing and deleted after download or after one hour, unless you explicitly allow longer retention for troubleshooting. Analytics on the official omnivert.xyz site is off by default; if you opt in, Yandex Metrica receives limited technical usage data. Webvisor and click maps are disabled. Stripe may process data when you choose to donate.

Third-party OMNIVERT instances may handle data differently.

Conversions

Most conversions (images, documents, audio) happen entirely locally on your device using WebAssembly versions of the relevant tools (e.g. ImageMagick, Pandoc, FFmpeg). This means your files never leave your device and we will never have access to them.

Video conversions are performed on our servers because they require more processing power and cannot be done very quickly on the browser yet. Videos you convert with OMNIVERT are deleted after being downloaded, or after one hour, unless you explicitly give permission for us to store them longer purely for troubleshooting purposes.

Donations

We use Stripe on the about page to collect donations. Stripe may collect certain information about the payment and device for fraud prevention as described in their documentation on advanced fraud detection. External network requests to Stripe are deferred, and are only made after you click the button to pay.

Conversion Errors

When a video conversion fails, we may collect some anonymous data to help us diagnose the issue. This data may include:
  • The job ID, which is the anonymized file name
  • The format you converted from
  • The format you converted to
  • The FFmpeg stderr output of your job (error message)
  • The actual video file (if given explicit permission)
This information is used solely for the purpose of diagnosing conversion issues. The actual video file will only ever be collected if you give us permission to do so, where it will only be used for troubleshooting.

Analytics

Analytics is disabled until you explicitly opt in under Privacy & data in settings. If enabled on omnivert.xyz, Yandex Metrica may receive the page URL, referrer, browser and device information, approximate location, and browser storage or cookies as described in the Yandex privacy policy. Webvisor, click maps, and automatic link tracking are disabled. File names and file contents are not sent to analytics, and you can opt out at any time.

Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to save your settings, and your browser's session storage to temporarily store the GitHub contributors list for the "About" section to reduce repeated GitHub API requests. No personal data is stored or transmitted.

The WebAssembly versions of the conversion tools we use (FFmpeg, ImageMagick, Pandoc) are also stored locally on your browser when you first visit the website, so you don't need to redownload them each visit. No personal data is stored or transmitted. You may view or delete this data at any time in the "Privacy & data" section in settings.

For questions, email us at: hello@omnivert.xyz. If you are using a third-party instance of OMNIVERT, please contact the hoster of that instance instead.
