Privacy Policy

Thank you for using CompressZIP.com. We take your privacy seriously. This page explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We keep the language simple and direct so you can understand how your data is handled.

1. Quick summary

CompressZIP.com processes file compression and extraction directly in your browser. We do not upload, store, or share your files on our servers. We also use a few third-party services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and Statcounter) to help us understand site usage and show ads.

2. Files you process on the site

When you use our tools to create or extract ZIP files, everything happens locally inside your web browser. This means:

• Files you select remain on your device.
• We do not upload your files to our servers.
• We do not store, view, or share the content of your files.

If you choose to download a resulting ZIP or extracted file, that file is saved to your device only. We never keep a copy.

3. Information we do collect

Although we never access your files, we do collect a small amount of technical and usage information to run and improve the website:

• Anonymous usage data via analytics (see section below).
• Server logs for the website (basic info like page requests and timestamps).
• Cookies or local storage used to remember basic preferences or session data.

4. Third-party services we use

We use these third-party tools to improve the site and serve ads. Please note that these services may collect information independently; their use is governed by their own privacy policies.

• Google Analytics: helps us understand how people use the site so we can improve it. Google Analytics collects anonymous usage data such as pages visited, time on page, and general device information.
• Google AdSense: used to show relevant ads. Ad services may use cookies or device identifiers to serve and measure ads.
• Statcounter: a simple analytics tool that helps track visits and basic site performance.

If you want to opt out of Google-based tracking, you can use browser controls, the Google Analytics opt-out add-on, or Google Ads settings. You can also clear or block cookies in your browser — see section Your choices below.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and local storage only for basic site functions and analytics. Cookies help us remember simple preferences and measure site traffic. You can control or disable cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the site may not work as smoothly if cookies are blocked.

6. How we use your information

We use the minimal information we collect to:

• Operate and maintain the website.
• Understand usage patterns to improve performance and design.
• Serve ads (via third-party ad networks).
• Investigate technical issues or abuse (rare and limited to logs).

7. Data retention

We do not retain your uploaded files because we do not upload them in the first place. For analytics and logs, third-party services may retain aggregated or anonymized data according to their policies. We do not use logs to identify or target individuals.

8. Security

We use standard security practices (HTTPS/TLS) to protect data transmitted between your browser and our site. Since file operations happen locally, your files are not transmitted to our servers. While we use reasonable measures to protect site systems and data, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

9. Your choices

You have control over many aspects of your privacy:

• Block or delete cookies: Use your browser settings to manage cookies and local storage.
• Opt out of analytics: Use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on or manage ad preferences through Google Ads settings.
• Close the site: Since file work is local, simply closing the page ends the session and no files are sent anywhere.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make important changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Small clarifications or non-material changes may not be separately highlighted.
