Privacy Policy & Data Handling Disclosure
Last updated: 2026-11-11. Transparent local-first execution and ephemeral edge processing.
1. Local Browser Execution vs. Edge API Processing
Everything to Markdown Studio operates under a strict data minimization architecture:
- 100% Client-Side Utilities: All text, HTML, XML, CSV, TSV, JSON, and Markdown inputs pasted or dropped into our browser converters (Universal Workbench, HTML to GFM, CSV/JSON Table, and RAG Chunker) are processed exclusively inside your local browser memory. They are never transmitted to any server unless you explicitly select Edge mode.
- Ephemeral Keyless Edge API (
POST /api/convert): When you upload binary documents (.pdf,.docx,.xlsx,.ods,.numbers) up to 10 MB, the file stream is processed in memory by Cloudflare Workers AI (env.AI.toMarkdown) and returned immediately. No uploaded files or converted outputs are persisted to disk or database storage, and no login or session cookie is required.
2. Google Tag Manager, Analytics & Advertising Compliance
We use Google Tag Manager (GTM-N64WPS2P) and Google Analytics 4 to measure aggregate page views and anonymous tool interaction events (such as copy or download clicks) without ever logging document contents. When analytics or third-party display advertising (such as Google AdSense) are active:
- Google Analytics uses first-party cookies to report anonymous traffic trends; you may opt out anytime via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
3. Local Storage Controls
