Privacy
What happens to your file.
- 1
Encrypted upload
Your file travels over HTTPS to Metvoro’s server. Nothing is sent to third parties.
- 2
Isolated analysis
It is read in a separate, locked-down process with strict time and memory limits.

Memory only
The file is never written to disk, and its contents are never logged.
- 4
Discarded
Once your report is sent back, the file is gone. The report lives only in your browser tab.
Questions
Questions, answered.
What hidden information is in a Word document?
Author and last editor names, company, template, total editing time, revision count, comments, tracked changes including deleted text, hidden text and sometimes file paths that include a computer username.
Are deleted tracked changes really still in the file?
Yes, until changes are accepted or rejected. Anyone who receives the file can turn on change tracking and read the deleted text and who deleted it.
Does Metvoro support old .doc, .xls and .ppt files?
Not yet. Metvoro reads the modern Office formats: .docx, .xlsx and .pptx. Password-protected Office files can’t be read either, because their contents are encrypted.
