Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to Video Compressor, a permanently free online video compression tool that runs locally in your browser. No account or login is required. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our services.

Local processing: Video compression runs entirely on your device. We do not upload your video files to our servers for compression.

Service model: Video Compressor is permanently free. We may use advertising and analytics to support and improve the free service.

Information Collection and Use

We may collect the following types of data:

1. Video Files

   • What We Collect: We do not collect or store your video files for compression. Processing happens locally in your browser.
   • Purpose: N/A — your videos remain on your device unless you choose to download or share the output yourself.

2. Usage Details

   • What We Collect: Limited information about how the site is used, such as pages visited, approximate location derived from IP (if collected by analytics), and feature interactions.
   • Purpose: To operate the service, understand engagement, troubleshoot issues, and improve the product.

3. Device and Browser Information

   • What We Collect: Technical data such as device type, operating system, browser type, and general diagnostics.
   • Purpose: To optimize compatibility and diagnose performance issues with client-side compression.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

   • What We Collect: Small data files or similar storage that help remember preferences (for example language), support security, and measure site usage.
   • Purpose: To enhance functionality and improve user experience.

5. Advertising Data

   • What We Collect: If we display third-party ads (for example Google AdSense), ad partners may collect device identifiers, cookie data, and similar information according to their policies.
   • Purpose: To show relevant ads and support the permanently free service. We do not sell your video files.

We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect payment or billing information for standard compression use.

Data Storage and Security

• Video Security: Because compression is local, your source videos are not transmitted to us for processing. You are responsible for securing files on your own device.
• Site Data: Any limited usage or technical data we or our providers process is handled with reasonable safeguards appropriate to the nature of the data.
• No Guarantee: No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

• With service providers who help us operate the website, serve ads, or provide analytics, subject to their terms and confidentiality obligations.
• To comply with legal obligations or respond to lawful requests from public authorities.
• To protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or others.
• With your explicit consent for a specific purpose.

Your Content

When you use Video Compressor:

• You retain ownership of your videos and compressed outputs.
• We do not receive your video files for compression and do not claim ownership of your content.
• You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to process the videos you use with the service, and that they do not violate our Terms of Service (including prohibitions on illegal or prohibited videos).
