At Xplore File Manager, we believe privacy should be easy to understand.
This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use Xplore File Manager, how that information is used, and how our browser-based file tools handle the files you choose to work with.
Our website is:
Files You Use With Xplore Tools
Many Xplore File Manager tools are designed to process files directly inside your web browser.
For tools that use browser-based processing, the file you select is handled on your device and is not intentionally uploaded to Xplore File Manager’s server for processing.
For example, a browser-based archive tool may read, extract, convert, or inspect a file using code running in your browser.
Because different tools may use different technologies, the way a file is processed can vary from one tool to another. If a future Xplore tool requires server-side processing, we may provide additional information on that tool’s page explaining how the file is handled.
We do not claim ownership of files you process using Xplore File Manager.
Information We May Collect
When you visit our website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by our hosting provider, security systems, or website software.
This may include information such as:
- IP address
- Browser type
- Device type
- Operating system
- Referring page
- Pages visited
- Date and time of requests
- Basic server and security logs
This information may be used to operate the website, prevent abuse, diagnose technical problems, improve performance, and protect the security of Xplore File Manager.
Tool Suggestions and Comments
Xplore File Manager allows visitors to suggest new tools through our website.
When you submit a suggestion or leave a comment, we may collect the information you provide in the form, such as your name, email address, suggestion, message, or other information you choose to submit.
WordPress may also collect your IP address and browser user-agent information for spam prevention and security purposes.
Suggestions submitted through our website may be reviewed by the Xplore File Manager team.
Unless a submission is intentionally published as a public comment, submitting a tool suggestion does not mean that we will publicly display your email address or other private contact information.
Gravatar
If public comments and avatars are enabled on the website, an anonymized value generated from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to determine whether you use Gravatar.
Gravatar is operated by Automattic.
If your public comment is approved and Gravatar is enabled, your profile image may appear alongside your comment.
Cookies
Xplore File Manager may use cookies or similar technologies where necessary for website functionality, preferences, security, analytics, or other site features.
If you leave a WordPress comment, you may be offered the option to save your name, email address, and website in cookies so you do not have to enter the same information again when leaving another comment.
These cookies may remain on your device for up to one year.
WordPress may also use cookies for logged-in administrators or registered users to maintain login sessions and interface preferences.
Most visitors do not need to create an account in order to use Xplore’s public file tools.
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Pages on Xplore File Manager may occasionally include content provided by another website, such as videos, images, widgets, or other embedded material.
Embedded content can behave in a similar way to visiting the third-party website directly.
Those websites may collect information about you, use cookies, or track your interaction with their content according to their own privacy policies.
Xplore File Manager does not control the privacy practices of third-party websites.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services to help operate, secure, analyze, or improve Xplore File Manager.
These services may receive limited technical information necessary to provide their services.
Examples may include website hosting providers, security services, content-delivery networks, spam-detection services, analytics providers, or advertising services.
Whenever third-party services are used, their handling of data is also governed by their own privacy policies.
Analytics
We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use Xplore File Manager, such as which pages or tools are most useful and how the website performs.
Analytics services may use cookies or similar technologies and may collect information such as device type, approximate location, browser information, referral source, and interactions with the website.
Where required, analytics technologies will be used subject to applicable consent requirements.
Advertising
Xplore File Manager may display advertising in the future or use third-party advertising services.
Advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to measure ad performance, prevent fraud, limit repeated advertising, or personalize advertisements where legally permitted and where appropriate consent has been obtained.
If Google advertising services such as Google AdSense are enabled on Xplore File Manager, Google’s use of data is governed by Google’s own privacy policies and advertising controls.
How Long We Keep Information
Information submitted through comments or tool suggestion forms may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to review the submission, prevent spam, maintain website records, or operate the service.
WordPress may retain comments and their associated metadata unless they are removed.
Technical server or security logs may also be retained for a limited period depending on the policies of our hosting and security providers.
We do not intentionally retain browser-processed files simply because you used one of our local file tools.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights relating to your personal information.
These may include the right to:
- Request access to personal information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of certain personal information
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
Some information may need to be retained where required for security, administrative, legal, or legitimate operational purposes.
You can contact us regarding a privacy request through our Contact page.
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the website and information submitted through it.
However, no website, browser, storage system, or method of transmitting information over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You should avoid submitting confidential or sensitive information through public comment or suggestion forms unless it is necessary.
Children’s Privacy
Xplore File Manager is not designed to intentionally collect personal information from children.
If you believe that a child has submitted personal information to us inappropriately, please contact us so the situation can be reviewed.

When significant changes are made, the “Last updated” date at the top of this page may be revised.
