The short version
We designed Export Markdown so that your documents never leave your device. When you convert a file, the parsing and rendering happen entirely inside your browser tab using JavaScript. Nothing you paste, upload, or download is transmitted to us, stored by us, or shared with anyone. There is no account to create and no content to track.
Information we do not collect
Because conversions are processed client-side, we never receive the contents of your files. This includes:
- The text or Markdown you type or paste into the editor.
- Files you upload for conversion (DOCX, HTML, CSV, RTF, XML, YAML and others).
- The converted output you preview, copy, or download.
These never touch a server. They stay in your browser's memory for the duration of your session and are discarded when you close or reload the tab.
Preferences stored on your device
To remember how you like the app, we store two small preferences in your browser's localStorage:
- Your theme choice (light, dark, or system).
- Your interface language.
These values live only on your device, are readable only by this site, and are never sent to us. You can clear them at any time through your browser settings, and the app will simply fall back to its defaults.
Analytics and cookies
Export Markdown does not set advertising cookies and does not sell or share personal data. If we use privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics to understand which converters are popular, that data is anonymized and never tied to your content or identity. We do not build user profiles.
Hosting and server logs
The site is served as static files from a content delivery network. Like virtually all web hosts, the CDN may keep standard, short-lived request logs (such as IP address and browser type) for security and reliability. These logs are operational and are never combined with the contents of your conversions, which the server never sees.
Third-party services
All conversion engines are open-source libraries that run in your browser, not external APIs. Your content is not sent to third parties for processing. Any external requests are limited to loading the application itself (scripts, styles, and fonts needed to render the page).
Children's privacy
Export Markdown is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.
Changes to this policy
If we update this policy, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be reflected here, and because the tool's privacy model is structural — conversions simply run on your device — the core promise will not change.
