We designed SourceBack to hold as little of your data as possible. In short: your uploaded files and their outputs are processed to produce your result and then auto-deleted within 12 hours, and we never reuse your content or use it to train anything.
| Data | Why | Kept for |
|---|---|---|
| The file you upload + the output we generate | To convert it and let you preview/download | Auto-deleted within 12 hours; the uploaded source is deleted right after conversion |
| Payment info | To take payment | Handled by Stripe — we never see or store your card number. Stripe holds transaction records; see Stripe's privacy policy |
| Prepaid credit token | To hold prepaid download credits, where offered | Stored in your browser (localStorage) + a balance in our database until spent |
| Operational logs & analytics | Reliability, abuse prevention, aggregate metrics | Event counts and job metadata (page counts, sizes, success/purchase events) — never anything derived from your file content. Retained 90 days, then purged. |
| IP address | Rate limiting / abuse protection | Short-lived hit records, purged on a rolling window |
We do not require an account, name, or email to use the service.
