Your privacy matters to us
Last Updated: February 2025
Our Commitment to Privacy
At Gzip Compression, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we handle information when you use our website and tools.
Data Processing
All file compression and decompression operations are performed entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device and are never transmitted to our servers. We don't store, access, or have any ability to view the files you process using our tools.
Important: All processing happens locally in your browser. Your files remain completely private and secure on your device.
Information We Collect
We collect minimal information necessary to provide and improve our services:
- Usage Data: We collect anonymous usage statistics to understand how our website is used and to improve user experience. This includes page views, general location data (country/city level), device type, and browser information.
- No Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information unless you explicitly provide it to us.
- No File Data: We do not collect, store, or transmit any file contents or metadata from files you process.
Analytics and Tracking
To help us understand how visitors use our website and improve our services, we use analytics tools including Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity. These services collect anonymous usage data such as page views, time spent on pages, and general user behavior. This information helps us identify which features are most useful and where we can make improvements.
The data collected by these analytics services is aggregated and anonymous. It does not include personal information or any details about the files you process. You can learn more about how these services handle data by reviewing their respective privacy policies.
Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies primarily for analytics purposes. These cookies help us understand website usage patterns and improve our services. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling cookies may affect some website functionality.
Third-Party Services
Our website may use third-party services for analytics and functionality. These services have their own privacy policies governing how they handle information. We encourage you to review their policies to understand their data practices.
Data Security
Since all file processing happens in your browser, your files are never transmitted over the internet to our servers. This means your data is as secure as your own device. We implement standard security measures to protect our website infrastructure, but the most important security feature is that your files never leave your device.
Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
