Privacy policy

Last updated November 11, 2026

The short version

FilesBolt works on your own computer. The files you merge, compress, convert, sign or otherwise change with FilesBolt are never uploaded to us or to anyone else.

Your files

All processing happens locally on your PC. We don't receive, store or have access to your files or their contents. New files are saved where you choose, by default next to the originals.

What FilesBolt stores on your computer

FilesBolt keeps a small settings file on your PC (in your user's AppData folder). It holds your choices, such as the save folder, light or dark mode, your watermark style, which actions appear in the right-click menu and how often you use each action, so the most-used ones appear first. This file never leaves your computer. Uninstalling FilesBolt removes the app and its right-click menu.

What we collect

The FilesBolt app doesn't collect analytics, usage data or personal information, and it doesn't need an account.

This website doesn't use cookies or tracking. It's hosted on GitHub Pages, and the download is served by GitHub. Like any web host, GitHub may log basic technical information such as your IP address when you visit or download. See GitHub's privacy statement.

Future features

We plan to add optional accounts and paid plans. If we add any feature that sends information over the internet, it will be optional, we'll explain clearly what it sends before you use it, and we'll update this policy first.

Children

FilesBolt doesn't knowingly collect any information from anyone, including children.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
