Niraiya's Privacy Policy
Your privacy is our foundation. Learn how we protect your data while helping you recover Excel passwords securely.
Last updated: October 31, 2025
Our Commitment to Privacy
At Niraiya, we've built our Excel password recovery service around one core principle: your files and data should never leave your control. As someone who's spent years in cybersecurity and data protection, we understand the real risks of uploading sensitive files to third-party services. That's why we designed our system to process everything locally in your browser first.
This privacy policy explains exactly what happens to your data during the Excel password recovery process, backed by real-world examples and technical details. We don't just claim to be privacy-focused—we've architected our entire service around protecting your information.
What Data We Collect
When you use Niraiya to remove a password from an Excel file, we collect minimal information necessary to perform the recovery:
- Password Hash: A mathematical fingerprint of your Excel file's password encryption. This hash contains no readable information about your actual file content, formulas, or data.
- File Metadata: Basic information like file size, Excel version, and encryption type—nothing about your spreadsheet's contents.
- Technical Logs: Anonymous performance data to improve our AI algorithms (no personal identifiers).
How We Process Your Data
Our privacy-first approach uses browser-based processing powered by WebAssembly technology. Here's the step-by-step breakdown:
Step 1: Local Processing
Your Excel file is analyzed entirely in your browser. We extract only the cryptographic hash of the password—essentially a digital fingerprint that tells us nothing about your file's contents.
Step 2: Secure Transmission
The hash is sent to our servers over 256-bit SSL encryption. Our AI systems analyze password patterns and attempt recovery using advanced algorithms.
Step 3: Digital AI Cloud Analysis
Machine learning algorithms work on the hash to identify likely password patterns. This happens in isolated, secure environments with no access to your original file.
Step 4: Auto-Delete
Once recovery is complete (or attempted), all data is automatically deleted within 24 hours. No permanent storage, no backups, no logs of your files.
Data Security Measures
Security isn't just a checkbox for us—it's how we prevent data breaches before they happen. Drawing from enterprise security practices, we've implemented multiple layers of protection:
- End-to-End Encryption: All data transmission uses TLS 1.3 with 256-bit encryption keys.
- Zero-Knowledge Architecture: Our servers never see your actual Excel file content.
- Automated Data Deletion: All temporary data is wiped within hours using secure deletion protocols.
- Regular Security Audits: Independent third-party audits ensure our systems remain secure.
- Minimal Data Retention: We store nothing beyond what's needed for active recovery sessions.
Your Rights and Controls
You maintain complete control over your data throughout the process. Since processing happens locally first, you can stop at any time without any data being transmitted.
What You Control:
- File access and processing initiation
- Data transmission decisions
- Recovery attempt cancellation
- Complete local processing visibility
Your Rights:
- Right to know what data we process
- Right to stop processing at any time
- Right to data deletion confirmation
- Right to contact us about privacy concerns
International Data Transfers
Our servers are located in secure data centers within the USA and European Union, compliant with GDPR requirements. For users outside the EU, we ensure all data transfers meet local privacy regulations through standard contractual clauses and adequate protection measures.
Since most processing happens in your browser, international transfers are minimal and only involve the password hash data necessary for AI analysis.
Cookies and Tracking
We use minimal cookies for essential functionality:
- Session Cookies: Temporary cookies to maintain your browser session during file processing.
- Analytics: Anonymous usage statistics to improve our service (no personal data).
- Security: Cookies to prevent abuse and ensure secure connections.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may limit some functionality.
Legal Basis and Compliance
Our data processing is based on:
- Contract Performance: Processing necessary to provide the Excel password recovery service you requested.
- Legitimate Interest: Improving our AI algorithms through anonymous performance data.
- Legal Compliance: Adherence to GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations.
We conduct regular privacy impact assessments and maintain detailed records of our processing activities.
