Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-08-24

Your files

We never receive your files. Period. All metadata viewing and removal happens locally in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Files you select are read with the browser's FileReader API, processed on your device, and downloaded from your device. They are not transmitted to our servers or any third party — this site has no file-upload endpoint.

URL-based tools are separate from local file tools. The YouTube metadata viewer forwards the video URL to YouTube's public oEmbed endpoint. The meta tag checker sends the URL to our edge Worker, which fetches the public page and reads up to 1 MiB of its server-delivered HTML. It does not execute the target page's JavaScript.

The application does not retain submitted URLs. The website you check will receive an HTTP request from the checker and may keep its own logs. Do not submit private, signed, credential-bearing or otherwise sensitive URLs.

Analytics & advertising

We may use privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics to understand which pages are useful, and we may show advertising (such as Google AdSense) on content pages to keep the tools free. Ad providers may use cookies as described in their own policies; we do not pass them any information about your files (we never have it in the first place).

Data we store

None about you personally in the application. No accounts, no file logs, no fingerprinting. Emails sent to contact@metadataviewer.org are kept only to answer you.
