Privacy and optional ads

Sequence files

Files you submit are copied to temporary storage for conversion. The converted file is streamed back to your browser, and the temporary conversion directory is removed when the response closes. Files are not added to a sequence database.

Server monitoring

The production launch script starts New Relic monitoring using the deployment configuration. Review that account's settings for the diagnostics and retention enabled there. Conversion errors are logged with format names and error type; uploaded names and sequence contents are not included in those application logs.

Optional advertising

Optional advertising is off until you select “Allow ads.” If enabled, Google's advertising code is loaded and the ad provider may receive browser and device information. Selecting “Decline optional ads” leaves conversion available and prevents the advertising code from loading on later page visits. A script already loaded on the current page cannot be recalled. No browser analytics scripts are enabled.

Your choice is saved in this browser's local storage when that storage is available. Use “Manage optional ads” on a converter page to change it.
