Privacy
Last updated 16 July 2026
smallcord is built so there is almost nothing to have a privacy policy about: your file is handled entirely inside your own browser and never reaches us.
Your files are never uploaded
When you drop or choose a file, it is read locally by JavaScript running on your device to measure its size (and, in later versions, to compress it). The file is not sent to any server — there is no backend that could receive it. You can confirm this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network tab, and select a file. You will see no upload request.
No accounts
There is no sign-up, login, or user account of any kind. We never ask for your name, email, or any other identifying detail.
No analytics or tracking
As of this version the site loads no analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking scripts. We do not set tracking cookies and do not build any profile of you. The page uses your browser's local storage for one thing only — remembering whether you chose the light or dark theme — and that value never leaves your device. If we ever add privacy-respecting, aggregate analytics in the future, we will update this page first and describe exactly what is measured.
No third-party content
The page is fully self-contained. It does not load fonts, scripts, or resources from external content-delivery networks, so no outside party sees your visit through embedded assets.
Server logs
Like almost any website, the web server that delivers this page may keep standard access logs (such as your IP address and the page requested) for security and reliability. Those logs are never linked to your files, because your files are never transmitted in the first place.

Questions about privacy can be raised through the project. Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing to request, correct, or delete on our side.
