Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 31, 2026

Hey there. At ZipDownloader, we strongly believe that your files are your business, not ours. We hate invasive tracking and shady data practices as much as you do. This Privacy Policy is written in plain English to explain exactly how we handle your data, keep your files secure, and comply with all necessary advertising standards (like Google AdSense). By using our tools, you agree to these transparent practices.

1. The Information We Collect (And What We Don't)

We only collect the absolute bare minimum required to keep this site running.

The Files You Upload

When you use our tools, you're usually processing files. Here is the golden rule: We never look at your files. For tools like our ZIP extractor or client-side image converters, the files never even leave your browser. They are processed directly on your device. For tools that require heavy lifting (like PDF compression), the files are temporarily uploaded to our secure servers, processed automatically by our code, and then permanently and irreversibly deleted the moment you click download.

Anonymous Usage Data

We look at basic, anonymous analytics to figure out which tools are popular and if our website is crashing. This includes things like your general geographic region, what browser you are using, and how long you stayed on the site. None of this data is tied to your personal identity.

2. How We Actually Use Your Data

We only use the data we collect to:

  • • Perform the file conversions you specifically asked for.
  • • Reply to your support emails if you reach out to us.
  • • Fix bugs and make the website faster.
  • • Serve relevant advertisements via Google AdSense (which keeps this site 100% free for you).

3. Ironclad File Security

Security isn't an afterthought for us. It's the entire foundation of ZipDownloader.

  • • Military-Grade Encryption: Any file sent to our server is protected by 256-bit SSL encryption.
  • • Automatic Shredding: We do not store, backup, or archive your files. They are wiped from our servers immediately after your task is done.
  • • Zero Human Access: No human (including our developers) ever looks at, scans, or analyzes the contents of your files.

4. Cookies & Google AdSense

To keep ZipDownloader completely free, we show ads using Google AdSense. Because of this, Google sets cookies on your browser to show you ads that are actually relevant to you.

Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. Specifically, Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our sites and/or other sites on the Internet.

DoubleClick DART Cookie: 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 our users based on their visit to our site and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

  • • Personalized Ads: You can entirely opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
  • • Third-Party Opt-Out: You can also opt out of third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.

5. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to see how many people visit us. It collects anonymous data like what pages you visited and what device you're on. All data is anonymized. If you hate analytics entirely, you can block it using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Your Rights

You own your data. If you ever reach out to us via email and want us to delete your email address from our inbox, just ask. Since we don't require accounts and we automatically delete your files, there is no hidden profile of you sitting on our servers to delete.
