MyDeskMate
Every day, millions of individuals upload highly confidential documents—income tax returns, bank statements, medical records, aadhaar cards, and business contracts—to free online file conversion websites. Yet, few users ever stop to question: Where does my file go after I click convert? Who has access to my data?
The Hidden Risks of Generic Online Converters
Many unregulated file conversion websites monetize user traffic through opaque data practices:
- Long-Term Cloud Storage: Uploaded files are frequently stored on unencrypted remote cloud buckets for days, weeks, or indefinitely.
- Automated Data Scraping: Some platforms run optical character recognition (OCR) across uploaded invoices and bank statements to harvest commercial consumer data and email addresses.
- Third-Party Model Training: Uploaded images and documents are occasionally repurposed without user consent to train commercial machine learning models.
