How EasyExtract Processes Files

Last updated: 1 August 2026

EasyExtract's free online data extraction tools process every file you open entirely inside your browser. Your file bytes are loaded into your device's memory and parsed by JavaScript running in your browser tab — they are never transmitted to any EasyExtract server. You can verify this yourself: open Developer Tools (F12 → Network tab), run any tool, and confirm no upload request is made.

Scope of this document

This page covers how EasyExtract handles the files you open and the text you paste, what network requests the site makes, which third parties may receive data, and how to report a security concern. It applies to all browser-based tools on easyextract.online.

What happens in the browser

When you drop a file onto an EasyExtract tool or click the file-picker, the browser's FileReader or ArrayBuffer API reads the file from your disk into RAM. The tool's JavaScript library — served from EasyExtract's own domain — then parses that in-memory data to extract the values you requested (text, tables, metadata, images, and so on).

The process is entirely local:

• The file is never encoded into a POST request or multipart upload.
• The extracted output is displayed in the same browser tab and can be copied or downloaded from there.
• Closing or reloading the tab discards everything; there is no localStorage or IndexedDB cache of your file or its contents.
• The tool scripts themselves are static files fetched once and cached by your browser like any other asset.

This architecture means EasyExtract cannot access your files even if it wanted to. There is no server endpoint that accepts file data.

What data may be received by EasyExtract's server

EasyExtract's server handles only ordinary HTTP requests — the same kind any website makes when delivering a page:

Server access logs contain IP address, HTTP method, URL path, response code, approximate bytes transferred (HTML/CSS/JS assets only), browser user-agent, and timestamp. Logs are retained for up to 30 days by the hosting provider's automatic log-rotation policy. EasyExtract does not archive, export, or sell these logs.

Third-party code and network requests

The following third-party resources load on EasyExtract pages. Each makes its own network request and is governed by that provider's privacy policy. None of them receive your file contents.

EasyExtract does not load any analytics platform, session-recording script, or fingerprinting library. If this changes, this page will be updated before the new script goes live.

Retention summary

Your choices

• Verify in real time: Open your browser's Network tab (F12) before using any tool and confirm no upload request appears during extraction.
• Block third-party cookies: Use your browser's privacy settings to block cookies from doubleclick.net and google.com to limit AdSense tracking.
• Opt out of personalised ads: Visit Google Ads Settings or use the NAI opt-out tool.
• Use offline: Once a tool page has loaded, the JavaScript is cached by your browser. On repeat visits the extraction can run with the Network tab blocked, confirming the local-only claim.

Security reporting

If you discover a security vulnerability or privacy issue on EasyExtract, please report it via the contact page. Include a clear description of the issue, steps to reproduce it, and — if applicable — evidence that file data could leave the browser. We aim to acknowledge reports within 5 business days and to publish a fix or correction notice within 30 days of confirmation. There is no bug bounty programme at this time.
