Last updated 10 November 2026. This describes what getpennyforge.com actually does, not what a template says it does.
When you paste or drop a CSV into the tool, the parsing, de-duplication, normalisation and change-log generation all execute in your browser's own JavaScript engine. No network request carries your file or any row of it. If you are offline, the tool still works. You can confirm this yourself: open your browser's developer tools, switch to the Network tab, and use the tool — no request contains your data.
The files you download are generated on your machine. We never receive a copy, so we cannot lose, leak, or sell one.
This site is supported partly by advertising served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies, local storage, or device identifiers to select and measure ads. That activity is Google's, governed by Google's own privacy policy, and it is separate from anything the CSV tool does.
This site has no analytics account of its own, no session recording, and no tracking pixel of ours. Two things do still record something. The ad script described above is one. The other is Cloudflare, which hosts this site and counts aggregate requests for basic traffic statistics using no cookies and no cross-site identifier. Neither of them ever sees a spreadsheet, because the file never leaves your device.
Paid orders are bought through Stripe Payment Links. When you click the order button you leave this site and complete payment on Stripe’s checkout, under Stripe's privacy policy. This site never sees or stores your card number. Stripe does share the name and email you provide, and the fact that a payment succeeded, so that an order can be delivered.
If you start an order and email a file for cleaning, that file is used only to produce your cleaned output and the accompanying report, and is not used for anything else.
