Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 6, 2026

CleanDuplicates respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how your files are handled when you use our website and tools.

1. Information We Collect

We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use the duplicate removal tool.

When you use our tool, you may upload Excel or CSV files for processing. These files are used only to perform the requested action and are not permanently stored by us.

2. File Processing

Uploaded files are processed temporarily in memory for the purpose of removing duplicate rows and generating your cleaned file.

We do not permanently store, archive, or sell uploaded files or their contents.

Once processing is complete, the file data is discarded from memory as part of the normal operation of the tool.

3. Personal Data

We do not intentionally collect personal data through the file processing tool itself. However, files uploaded by users may contain personal or sensitive information depending on the file contents.

Because of this, users should only upload files they are authorized to use and should avoid uploading sensitive information unless they are comfortable doing so.

4. Analytics and Technical Data

We may collect basic technical information automatically, such as browser type, device type, referring pages, and general usage data, to help improve website performance and user experience.

This information does not typically identify you personally.

5. Cookies

Our website may use basic cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for site functionality, security, performance, or analytics.

We do not use cookies to sell your personal information.

6. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party hosting, infrastructure, analytics, or security services to operate the website. These providers may process limited technical data as necessary to support the service.

We do not authorize third parties to use your uploaded files for their own purposes.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the website and the information processed through it. However, no system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

You use the service at your own discretion and should avoid uploading highly confidential data unless you have reviewed and accepted the risks.

8. Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

9. Your Choices

Because we do not maintain user accounts or permanently store uploaded files, there is generally no retained file data for you to access, modify, or delete after processing is complete.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.

11. Contact
