Privacy Policy

The short version: Files you process on HandyCompress never leave your device. We don't run analytics scripts that identify you. We don't sell or share personal data. We don't set tracking cookies. When we add advertising in the future, you will see a clear consent prompt before any third-party trackers are loaded.

1. What we process and where

Every tool on this site runs entirely in your web browser. When you drop a file into a tool, the file is read into your browser's memory, processed by your own device's CPU, and the output is offered for download — all without the file ever being transmitted to our servers or to anyone else. We have no technical ability to access, view, copy, or store your files.

2. Information our servers receive

To serve the site, our hosting infrastructure (and our content-delivery network) automatically receives standard request metadata:

• Your IP address (used to route the response and for abuse prevention)
• Your user agent (browser/OS string)
• The page you requested and the referrer, if any
• Timestamp of the request

This information is retained in standard web-server logs for a limited period (typically 30 days) for security, debugging, and aggregate traffic analysis. It is not linked to your identity and is not shared with third parties except as required by law.

3. Cookies and similar technologies

HandyCompress currently sets no non-essential cookies. We may use your browser's local storage (a feature that lives only on your device) to remember preferences such as your dismissal of the privacy notice, your chosen language, or your saved tool settings. This local-storage data never leaves your device.

If and when advertising or analytics are added to the site, you will be presented with an explicit consent prompt and may decline. We will only load third-party advertising or analytics scripts after you have consented.

4. Third parties

Our content-delivery network may collect request metadata as described above to provide caching and security services. We currently use no third-party advertising, analytics, or social-media trackers on this site. We will update this policy and require renewed consent before introducing any.

5. Your rights

Because we collect no personal data tied to your identity, there is generally nothing personal to request, correct, or delete. If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Canada (including Quebec under Law 25), California, or another jurisdiction with applicable data-protection law and believe we hold personal information about you, you may contact us to exercise your rights under that law.

6. Children

HandyCompress is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes that affect your rights will be highlighted on the site.
