Privacy Policy

1. Zero Server Upload Guarantee

At FreeFileTools, your privacy is our highest priority. All file conversion and image compression processes take place 100% locally inside your web browser using JavaScript, HTML5 Canvas, and WebAssembly technologies running entirely within your device's RAM.

Your files, images, documents, and data are never uploaded, transmitted, stored, or processed on any cloud server or remote infrastructure. The moment you close or reload the browser tab, all processed file data is immediately freed from memory by the browser's garbage collector.

2. Data Collection & Analytics

Because all processing happens locally on your computer or mobile device:

• We do not collect, inspect, or retain your files, their filenames, or associated metadata.
• We do not require user account registration, login credentials, or any form of personal identification.
• We do not sell, rent, license, or share any personal user data with third parties for marketing purposes.
• We do not use fingerprinting, behavioral tracking scripts, or cross-site tracking technologies.

3. Local Storage & Cookies

FreeFileTools uses browser localStorage solely to persist local UI preferences (e.g., your last-used output format). No personally identifiable tracking cookies or advertising profile identifiers are set by our own application code.

We do not use session cookies to track your browsing behavior across pages.

4. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Cookies

FreeFileTools participates in the Google AdSense advertising program to help fund free tool development. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to users based on their visit to our site and other sites on the Internet.

Specifically:

• DART Cookie: Google uses the DoubleClick DART cookie to serve ads across websites and apps that use AdSense. This cookie is used by Google to display ads based on a user's prior visit to our website and other sites on the Internet.
• Advertising Partners: Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies such as cookies, JavaScript, or web beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on FreeFileTools, which are sent directly to users' browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs.
• Purpose: These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.

Opt-Out: Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network Privacy Policy. You may also visit aboutads.info/choices to opt out of interest-based advertising from participating companies.

FreeFileTools has no access to or control over the cookies that are used by third-party advertisers.
