No information entered directly by the users, including the contents of the LDIF textarea, the CSV textarea, and the file upload, is sent anywhere: everything related to the format conversion happens and stays inside your browser.

Faq
Is any of my LDIF or CSV data recorded or saved or sent elsewhere?
No! The LDIF and CSV data are never submitted anywhere outside your browser, where the conversion and file generation also take place.
What happens if the LDIF contains multiple keys with the same name for the same entry?
The first one is copied to a column name as-is, the second one will be named <column-name>_1, the third one will be named <column-name>_2, etc...
Do you support base64 encoded fields?
Yes! But note that only text content resulting from a successful decoding will be copied to the output file. If invalid characters are detected (like what happens if there is a jpeg photo or other binary content in there), the field is copied to the output CSV as-is: in its base64 representation. Additionally, we (tried to) follow rfc2849 and actually support all valid use cases in there. Note that you can control what happens to base64 content in the CSV options.
I have a question / suggestion / other subject regarding this site. How can I submit my feedback?
Sorry, this is still being worked on. More on this soon.
About
This site was created because we needed to convert a bunch of LDIF files to CSV and couldn't find anything that would do this transformation in a safe and cross-platform environment. We're hoping to provide exactly and just that!... But we may add more stuff in the future and/or provide a means of receiving feedback for features and bugs.
