Privacy Policy
Your privacy is our top priority. Here's exactly how we protect your data.
Last updated: September 25, 2025
Your videos and GIFs are processed entirely on your device. We never receive, store, or have access to your files.
We cannot see, analyze, or monitor your content because all processing happens locally in your browser.
1. Information We Do NOT Collect
We want to be absolutely clear about what we DON'T collect:
- Your video files: Never uploaded to our servers
- Your generated GIFs: Created and stored only on your device
- File metadata: No access to file names, sizes, or creation dates
- Processing data: No logs of what you create or how you use the tool
- Personal information: No accounts, no sign-ups, no personal data collection
2. How Our Technology Ensures Privacy
Our privacy protection isn't just a policy—it's built into our technology:
FFmpeg.wasm runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device during processing.
We don't have file storage servers. It's technically impossible for us to store your content because we never receive it.
3. Analytics and Website Usage
We collect minimal, anonymous analytics to improve our service:
What We Track:
- Page views and basic website navigation (via Google Analytics)
- General geographic location (country/region level only)
- Browser type and device information for compatibility
- Error reports to help us fix technical issues
What We DON'T Track:
- Individual user behavior or personal identification
- What files you process or how you use the GIF maker
- Cross-site tracking or advertising profiles
4. Cookies and Local Storage
Essential Cookies Only
We use minimal cookies required for basic website functionality. These include analytics cookies (Google Analytics) to understand general usage patterns and improve our service.
Local Storage
Your browser may temporarily store processing data locally during GIF creation. This data never leaves your device and is automatically cleared when you close the browser or navigate away.
5. Third-Party Services
We use minimal third-party services, all of which respect user privacy:
Google Analytics
Used for anonymous website traffic analysis. No personal information is shared with Google beyond standard web analytics data.
Vercel (Hosting)
Our website is hosted on Vercel's platform. They may collect standard server logs but have no access to your processed files.
6. Data Security
Since we don't collect your files or personal data, there's no risk of data breaches involving your content. However, we still maintain security best practices:
- HTTPS encryption for all website communications
- Regular security updates and monitoring
- Secure, sandboxed WebAssembly execution environment
7. Your Rights
Since we don't collect personal data or files, most traditional data rights don't apply. However, you have the right to:
- Use our service without providing any personal information
- Clear your browser data to remove any local storage
- Contact us with any privacy concerns or questions
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal compliance. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last modified" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
