Your Data, Your Control, Your Responsibility
Last updated: January 15, 2026
Because Simple Data Cleaner processes all data entirely in your browser (client-side), we never receive, store, or process your data. This means under GDPR, we are not acting as a data processor. You remain the sole data controller with full responsibility and control.
When you select a file, it's read using JavaScript in your browser. The file content never leaves your computer's memory.
Validation algorithms run entirely in your browser's JavaScript engine. No network requests are made to send your data anywhere.
When you download the cleaned file, it's generated in your browser and saved directly to your device. We never see it.
When you close the browser tab, all data is removed from memory. Nothing persists on our servers.
We only collect and process the following account information:
Legal Basis: Legitimate interest - we need this information to provide you with the subscription service you requested and to manage your account.
We do NOT process, store, or have any access to the data files you clean.
Legal Basis: Not applicable - since we never receive this data, GDPR data processing rules don't apply. You remain the sole data controller.
You can request a copy of all personal data we hold about you (account information only). Contact us to make a request.
You can update your account information at any time through your Account Settings page.
You can delete your account at any time. This permanently removes all personal data we hold about you. Contact us to request account deletion.
You can export your account data in a machine-readable format. Contact us to request an export.
You can object to our processing of your personal data for marketing purposes. We don't send marketing emails, but you can update preferences in your account.
Account Data: We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. After you cancel your subscription, we retain data for 30 days to ensure smooth account restoration if needed.
Deleted Accounts: When you delete your account, all personal data is permanently removed within 7 days.
Billing Records: Financial transaction records are retained for 7 years as required by UK tax law.
Your Files: Never stored, so no retention period applies.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your account data:

We do not sell your data. We do not share your account information with third parties except:
