Trust & security · last updated 25 July 2026

# You're about to depend on us. Here's why that's safe.

Built and run by two founders, Het and Om. This page is everything we would want to read before making a small, unknown API a production dependency — every claim points at its mechanism, and where we fall short we say so here first.

Receipts

01  The honesty contract

## Most scrapers lie to your agent. Ours files a report.

The failure that scares every AI engineer isn't the crash — it's the silent lie a customer finds first. The core of EnConvert is a refusal to do that.

Every read is scored, 0.0 to 1.0

A blocked page is named, not hidden

⌄

We don’t spend your money on a page that beat us

⌄

Reserved paths return 422, never a silent 200

The honest limits of this

-   ·

    92% catch rate, 4% false alarms on our 50-page labeled corpus — roughly 1 in 12 block pages can still slip through, and we publish the misses.

-   ·

    /v2/ingest renders pages but doesn’t gate on the score yet, so a blocked page can enter a RAG corpus unflagged; that gate is roadmap, not done.

-   ·

    A low score flags and warns — it doesn’t block delivery or refund the call, and it never silently withholds your content.

02  Operational transparency

## Here is exactly what happens to your data.

No abstractions — two flows cover almost everything EnConvert does.

A file you upload

A URL your agent reads (V2)

1.  01

    Arrives over TLS

2.  02

    Checked against your plan’s size limit and accepted extensions

3.  03

    Filename sanitized — path components and traversal sequences stripped

4.  04

    Bytes held in memory, passed straight to the converter — your source file is never written to our storage

5.  05

    Only the converted output is stored, private, under your account’s own key prefix

6.  06

    Downloaded via a pre-signed URL: 15-minute expiry, ownership-checked before signing

7.  07

    Deletable by you, at any time

Retention notes — what we keep, and the opt-out header

⌄

03  Security

## No badges. Mechanisms.

We can't hand you a SOC 2 report — so here are the specific controls it's a proxy for, including where each one stops.

SSRF screening on V2 endpoints

⌄

API keys and access

⌄

Webhooks you receive

⌄

Billing you can audit

⌄

Keep sk\_ keys server-side

Use a pk\_ key, locked to your domains, for anything client-side — browsers reject sk\_ on purpose.

Verify webhook signatures

Recompute HMAC-SHA256 over <timestamp>.<body>, compare in constant time, reject anything older than 5 minutes.

Scope your keys

A key restricted to the one endpoint it needs can’t do anything else if it leaks.

Rotate on exposure

Rotate a secret or revoke and re-create a key the moment you suspect exposure — revocation is immediate.

Your side of the fence — four things that keep your account safe

04  Reliability

## Receipts, not promises.

What is actually built, what is actually tested, and honest answers to the failure simulations you're already running in your head.

A restart never strands your job

⌄

One bad input fails only itself

⌄

A monitor that goes blind tells you

⌄

The safety behaviors are the ones we test

05  Your data

## What we will never do with your files.

-   We never train models on your files or your content

-   We never sell or share your data

-   Source files are processed in memory, never stored — only your converted output is, under your prefix, deletable by you

-   Downloads are private and time-boxed: signed URLs, 15-minute expiry, ownership-checked before signing

06  Honest fit

## Reasons not to use EnConvert.

Every honest pitch includes the cases where it's the wrong call. Here are ours.

You need SOC 2 or HIPAA attestation today

We don’t have them. If a certificate is a hard procurement gate, we’re not there yet.

You need a contractual 99.99% SLA with penalties

A two-person company cannot honestly write that — use a larger vendor.

You need on-prem or self-hosting

Not offered; EnConvert is a hosted API only.

You process very large files

Per-plan size caps run from small on Free up to the Production tier — past that, wrong tool.

A tiny team is a dealbreaker

Legitimate. Everything on this page is designed to make it a smaller risk than it sounds, but we won’t pretend it’s zero.

07  Accountability

## Two names. Reachable.

Bootstrapped, no investors — revenue is subscriptions only, so the product's only job is to keep working for the people paying for it. Support is answered by the people who wrote the code.
