NearSeal never receives your files. All file encryption happens locally in your browser. No file, file name, or file content is ever transmitted to our servers or any third party — technically enforced by this site’s Content-Security-Policy, which blocks the page from sending data anywhere. You can choose the encryption format when you encrypt: the default NearSeal format uses AES-256-GCM, or the open age-encryption.org standard (ChaCha20-Poly1305) so the file can also be opened with any age-compatible tool, not just this site.
We run no analytics. We show advertising served by Google AdSense to fund free hosting. Ad code, and any advertising cookies or device identifiers it sets, load only if you press "Accept" on the consent banner — if you press "Reject", no ad script ever loads and no ad cookie is ever set. You can change your choice at any time from the cookie settings link in the site footer. Google's own privacy practices for AdSense are described at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads. (Separately: a single local setting is stored on your device to remember a dismissed notice or chosen language — it is not an identifier and is never sent anywhere, and does not require consent.) We also run a Coupang Partners affiliate widget on the download-complete screen — unlike a display ad, it links to real products on Coupang, and we may earn a commission if you buy through it, at no extra cost to you. Like the AdSense code above, it only loads if you press "Accept"; if you press "Reject", neither AdSense nor this widget ever loads, and no affiliate-tracking cookie is ever set.
