Introduction

Welcome to Video Compressor, a free online tool that compresses video files locally in your browser. At Video Compressor, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our services.

1. Account Information

   • Purpose: To manage your account, provide customer support, and track your credit balance and usage.

2. 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.

3. Usage Details

   • What We Collect: Information about how you use Video Compressor, such as pages visited, compression actions initiated, credit consumption, and feature usage.
   • Purpose: To operate the service, analyze engagement, troubleshoot issues, and improve our product.

4. Device and Browser Information

   • What We Collect: Data about the devices and browsers you use to access Video Compressor, such as device type, operating system, browser type, and general technical diagnostics.

Data Storage and Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously. Account and usage data we collect is stored on our servers with reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including access controls and encryption where appropriate.
