2. How Our Tools Work
All FileSize.org tools operate entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. This means:

- Calculators: File size estimations are computed in your browser
- No server processing: Your inputs are never sent to our servers

3. Web Server Logs
Like most websites, our web server automatically creates standard access logs that may include:
- Date and time of page requests
- Pages visited on our site
- Referring website (if applicable)
- Browser type and operating system
- Anonymized IP addresses
These logs are used solely for:
- Diagnosing technical issues
- Preventing abuse and ensuring security
- Understanding general traffic patterns (not individual behavior)
Server logs are automatically deleted after 30 days and are never shared with third parties.

- No CDNs for tracking: We self-host all resources
The only third-party requests are for:
- Fonts: Google Fonts (if used) - Google's privacy policy applies to font requests
