Security and file handling
What happens to a document after you upload it: where it goes, who can reach it, how long it stays, and what we will not do with it. Every tool works without an account, and nothing on this page depends on having one.
How your files travel
Files go straight from your browser to Google Cloud Storage over an encrypted connection, using a short-lived signed link created for that one upload. The conversion runs on Google Cloud, and the result comes back the same way. OfficeM8 is operated from the European Union.
Who can reach them
- Your uploads are tied to your own session. A guest gets an anonymous identity, so files stay yours rather than mixing with anyone else's.
- The upload links are signed, short-lived and single-purpose: they expire, and they open nothing else.
- Google Cloud processes the files on our behalf under a data-processing agreement. Nobody else receives them.
How long they stay
- Files and conversion results stay until you delete them.
- Files from a guest session that is never linked to an account are removed automatically after a period of inactivity.
- Technical and security logs are kept for a limited period, for troubleshooting and preventing abuse.
What we do not do
- We do not use the contents of your files to train AI models.
- We do not sell your personal data.
- We do not ask for an email address before giving you a result.
What an account changes
Every tool works as a guest, with a limit of 10 MB per file. Signing in raises that to 25 MB and keeps your files together across devices. That is all an account changes — nothing stops halfway to ask you to register.
