Privacy

Last updated 6 September 2026

This site does not collect anything about you, and the file you open never leaves your computer. That is not a promise about intentions — it is how the page is built, and you can read the source to check it.

Your file stays in your browser

When you choose or drop a .md file, the page reads it using the browser's own file reader and renders it on screen. There is no upload. Nothing about the document — its name, its contents, its size — is transmitted anywhere, and nothing is kept once you close the tab.

The same is true of the PDF: it is produced by your browser's own print engine, on your machine.

No cookies, no storage, no analytics

This site sets no cookies. It does not use local storage, session storage or any other means of keeping data in your browser. There is no analytics of any kind, no tag manager, no advertising, no embedded fonts or scripts from other companies, and no accounts to create. Because nothing non-essential is stored on your device, there is no cookie banner to click through.

If a document you open contains an image hosted on the internet, the viewer does not load it. Fetching it would tell that image's host that you had opened that document, and when. You get a placeholder you can click if you want it.

What the host sees

The site is served as static files by Cloudflare Pages. Like any web host, Cloudflare receives and logs the technical information your browser sends in order to deliver the page and protect the service against abuse: your IP address, the time of the request, the page requested, and your browser's user-agent string. This is standard server logging, it happens before any of my code runs, and I do not have access to a per-visitor record of it.

Under UK GDPR that processing rests on legitimate interests — serving the site securely. Cloudflare's own handling is described in their privacy policy.

Your rights

You have rights under UK GDPR over personal data about you, including access, correction and erasure. In practice I hold no personal data about visitors to this site, so there is nothing for me to retrieve or delete. If you want to raise something, please open an issue on GitHub. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

Who runs this

This is a personal project by David Monis-Weston. It is not a product, it is not connected to my employer, and nothing is sold here. It is offered as-is, with no warranty — please do not rely on it for anything critical without keeping your own copy of the original file.
