This makes our cloud-based tools very secure.First thing to check: The audio output device. Our cloud-based online tools use HTTPS to encrypt your data sent to and downloaded from our cloud infrastructure, and only you have access to your data (unless you have chosen to share it). Sometimes however this is not optimal or possible for tools which for example require high processing power, display maps aware of your current location, or allow you to share data. We work hard to make our tools run locally on your device since avoiding sending data over the internet is more secure.

To achieve this we use HTML5 and WebAssembly, a form of code that is run by the browser itself allowing our tools to execute at near-native speed.

All the work is done locally by the browser itself, making these tools very fast and secure. Our online tools which execute locally on your device don't need to send your data (your files, your audio or video data, etc.) over the internet. Protecting your privacy is one of our main concerns when developing our tools. We develop secure online tools that are cloud-based or that execute locally on your device. Check out the “No data transfers” section below to learn more.
