Privacy policy

Effective date: June 12, 2026. The short version: filelocator.net is a static website. There are no accounts to create, no forms to fill in, and nothing you can upload — so in the normal course of reading this site, we collect no personal data at all.

The File Finder tool

Our free in-browser File Finder works the same way. When you point it at a folder, your files are read and processed entirely by JavaScript running locally in your browser. File names, file contents and search results are never transmitted to us or to anyone else. Close the tab and everything is gone.

Analytics

We may use a privacy-respecting analytics service to count aggregate page views — which pages are read and roughly how often. This is measurement at the level of "the Everything review got 400 visits this week," not tracking of individual people.

Amazon Associates links

Some of our hardware gear pages contain Amazon affiliate links, as explained in our affiliate disclosure. If you click one, Amazon sets cookies in your browser so it can attribute a purchase to us. That happens on Amazon's side and under Amazon's rules — see Amazon's own privacy notice for details. Until you click, no Amazon cookie is involved.

Google Fonts

Our typefaces load from Google's fonts CDN. Like any web request, that means your browser sends your IP address to Google when it fetches the font files. We don't receive any of that information; it's a standard consequence of using a CDN.

What we don't do

• We don't sell, rent or share personal data — we have none to sell.
• We don't run ad networks or third-party trackers.
• We don't store anything you type. If you email us, the conversation lives only in email.

Questions

If anything here is unclear, or you believe this page no longer matches how the site behaves, please contact us and we'll clarify or correct it. Material changes to this policy will be reflected in the effective date above.
