What this site keeps, in plain words
Benchzy is built so that your files never reach us. Every tool on this site runs as a program inside your browser, on your device. There is nothing to upload to, and no account to sign up for, so the short version is: we never see your files, your name, or your email address, because the site never asks for them and has no way to receive them.
What the server keeps
The hosting service keeps routine request logs: which page or program file was asked for, when, and the technical details a browser sends with every request (such as its type and your network address). Those logs exist so the site can be served and protected from abuse. They contain no files, because no file is ever sent.
There are no accounts on Benchzy, so there is no account data. No tool on this site has an upload: pick a file in any tool and it is read by the page in your browser, never transmitted. And as the site ships today, no analytics script and no advertising script runs on these pages at all.
What your browser stores on your device
The batch tools and the workflow builder keep a small workbench list in your browser's local storage: the names and sizes of files you added, the presets you saved, and the workflow steps you built. That list lives on your device only; it is not sent anywhere, and it holds names and sizes, never the files themselves.
Your browser also keeps a cached copy of the tool programs themselves (for example the 44.3 MB background-removal program), so repeat visits start without downloading them again. That cache holds program files only.
To clear all of it: use your browser's "clear site data" or "clear browsing data" option for benchzy.com. That removes the workbench list, your presets and workflows, and the cached programs in one go. Saved result files you already downloaded are ordinary files on your device and stay yours to keep or delete.
Ads, stated plainly
No ads are served on Benchzy yet. The plan is for the site to be paid for by ads on the pages. When ads start, the advertising network will be named on this page before the first ad runs, and this section will say what that network can see.
One thing will not change: an ad can never see your file. That is not a promise about physics; it is how this site is built. Your file is processed by the tool program inside your browser and is never sent to any server, ours or an advertiser's, so there is no copy of it for an ad to see.
What we do not protect you from
- Your own device. If your computer or phone is compromised, or someone else uses it, anything on it, including files you processed here, is exposed to them.
- Your browser extensions. Extensions you installed can read the pages you visit, including this one.
- Your network seeing the visit itself. Your internet provider, employer, or Wi-Fi operator can see that you visited benchzy.com. They cannot see your files, because your files never travel.
- What you do with a result afterwards. Once you download a finished file and share it, where it goes is up to you.
You can check the technical claims on this page yourself: the check-it-yourself page watches a live run and lists every request the page makes, and what free means here states the deal in full.
