How Browser Tools Can Reduce Personal Data Collection
Why processing files in the browser can reduce privacy risk compared with upload-first tools.
Designing without uploads
Sambro tools process data in the browser whenever possible. If an image or text input never leaves the user's device, there is less to store, delete, secure, or accidentally expose.
Not every feature can stay local. Comments, request boards, and accounts need a server and a database. In those cases, the better design is to narrow the purpose and collect only what is necessary.
Collecting less is a feature
Adding email, names, and accounts too early makes operations more complex and makes users more cautious. For simple feedback, anonymous submission and moderation can be enough.
Sambro should evaluate every new feature by separating data that must be stored from data that can remain local or be avoided entirely.
