Privacy Policy
Last updated September 23, 2026
The ConvertIt app does not collect personal data. This page covers what happens in the app and on convertitapp.com.
On this page
01
Data Collection
The ConvertIt app does not collect, store, or transmit personal information to ConvertIt's developer. Unit, currency, and media conversions happen on your device. There is no account to create, no sign-in, and no app analytics or crash-reporting SDK that phones home to Licensor.
If you install ConvertIt from the Mac App Store, Apple may process purchase and device information under Apple's own privacy policy. That processing is controlled by Apple, not by ConvertIt.
02
Currency Exchange Rates
To provide currency conversion, ConvertIt fetches exchange rate data from the Frankfurter API, which publishes European Central Bank reference rates. These requests do not include any personal identifiers, account information, or device identifiers, just a request for current rates.
Rates are cached locally on your device for 24 hours, so ConvertIt only needs to reach Frankfurter periodically, and currency conversion continues to work offline using the most recent cached rates.
03
Media & Conversion Processing
All unit and currency conversions, along with image, video, audio, and spreadsheet (CSV, TSV, Excel/XLSX) conversions in the Media tab, are processed locally using Apple frameworks such as AVFoundation and, where needed, a bundled FFmpeg command-line binary. Your files are never uploaded to ConvertIt's servers.
04
Local Storage & Preferences
ConvertIt stores your preferences, such as your chosen hotkey, default conversion category, recent and pinned conversions, rename presets, and output folder, locally on your device using macOS's standard UserDefaults (and related local storage). This information never leaves your device and is not accessible to ConvertIt's developer.
05
Analytics & Tracking
The ConvertIt app. ConvertIt does not include analytics, crash reporting, or advertising SDKs. There is no tracking of how you use the app.
This website. convertitapp.com uses Vercel Web Analytics, a privacy-friendly service that does not use cookies for analytics and is not intended to identify you personally. It records aggregate page views and when visitors use app download or Mac App Store links (for example, which version was requested). Hosting the site on Vercel may also involve standard technical logs (such as IP address and user agent) processed by Vercel as described in Vercel's privacy policy. That helps measure interest in ConvertIt; it does not create a ConvertIt user account.
06
Third-Party Links
This website and ConvertIt may contain links to third-party sites, including FFmpeg, Frankfurter, Spark Suite, the Mac App Store, and optional support links such as Buy Me a Coffee on the website. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which this policy does not cover. See ConvertIt's Terms of Use for more on third-party components bundled with the app.
07
Children's Privacy
ConvertIt is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). The app does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone. The website's aggregate analytics are not used to identify children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through a channel we control, contact us and we will delete it where applicable.
08
Changes to This Policy
If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised to reflect the new version. Continued use of the app or website after an update means you acknowledge the revised policy.
