Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Summary

ExploreMyData is a browser-based data exploration tool. All data processing happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly (DuckDB WASM). We do not collect, store, transmit, or have access to any files you open in the application. Anonymous usage events tell us which features are used; they never contain your file contents. The site is ad-supported and uses Google AdSense, which may use cookies and similar technologies to serve relevant ads.

Data Processing

When you open a file in ExploreMyData, it is read and processed entirely within your browser tab using DuckDB WASM. The file never leaves your device. No data is sent to any server, API, or third party.

Local Storage

ExploreMyData uses your browser's IndexedDB to persist workspace state (open tabs, view configurations, dark mode preference) between sessions. This data stays on your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.

Cookies & Advertising

ExploreMyData uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your browsing activity.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.

Analytics

We use PostHog to understand which features people use, hosted on PostHog's EU servers in Frankfurt and operating under a data processing agreement. It runs in cookieless mode: it sets no cookies and stores nothing in your browser's local storage or session storage. We record only anonymous events describing which features were used, such as "a file was opened" or "a chart was created". These events never include your file names, column names, cell values, queries, or any part of your data. We do not create user profiles and cannot identify you or recognise you on a return visit. Your IP address is used momentarily to derive an anonymous code that rotates daily and is not reversible; it is not stored with your events.

We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is a privacy-first, cookie-free analytics service. It collects aggregate page view data (page URL, referrer, browser, country) without using cookies or tracking individual users. No personally identifiable information is collected by either service.

Third-Party Services

In addition to Google AdSense, PostHog and Cloudflare Web Analytics described above, DuckDB WASM files are loaded from jsDelivr CDN on initial page load. jsDelivr may log standard access data (IP address, user agent) per their own privacy policy.

AI Features

If you use the AI-powered transformation feature, your natural language description and table schema (column names, types and row, null and distinct counts, not your data) are sent directly from your browser to the third-party API provider you select in Settings. Your actual data rows are never sent. If you turn on the optional "share example values" setting, up to five example values per column are added to help the model with status codes and date formats; it is off by default. You provide your own API key, which is stored locally in your browser and transmitted only to the provider you chose.
