Would you upload a customer CSV to remove duplicates?
Customer and CRM exports are exactly where an upload-first cleaner can become uncomfortable. Before using any CSV cleanup tool, I would check five things:
1. Where is the file processed and retained?
2. Can I review duplicate groups before deleting anything?
3. Does it distinguish exact duplicates from similar names or emails?
4. Can I undo edits and keep the original untouched?
5. What happens when the file is too large for the browser?
Disclosure: I built CSV Repair & Deduper around that checklist. It is one HTML file that runs locally in your browser, repairs common delimiter, encoding, and row-shape issues, and lets you review exact and near-duplicate groups before export. It is a $19 one-time purchase, not a subscription. Very large files can still be slow, and exported results should always be reviewed before import.

For people who regularly handle CRM or ecommerce exports: which matters more in practice: no-upload privacy, catching near-duplicates, or previewing every change?
