Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Privacy

GIF Resizer is built on a foundation of privacy-first principles. We believe your files and data belong to you alone. This policy explains how we handle (or don't handle) your information.

1. Local Processing

Your files never leave your device. All GIF processing happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly technology (ffmpeg.wasm).

• No file uploads to our servers
• No server-side storage or caching
• No access to your files by us or third parties
• Processing occurs in your browser's memory only

2. Analytics and Tracking

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site. This helps us improve the service.

What we track:

• Page views and navigation patterns
• Anonymous usage statistics (file sizes, dimensions)
• Feature usage (presets, tools used)
• Error occurrences (for debugging)

What we DON'T track:

• File names or content
• Personal information
• IP addresses (anonymized by Google)
• Precise geolocation

3. Cookies and Local Storage

We use minimal browser storage:

• Analytics cookies: Google Analytics sets cookies to track sessions
• Cache storage: FFmpeg WebAssembly files are cached for faster subsequent loads
• No personal data: We don't store any personal information locally

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google Analytics: For anonymous usage statistics
• CDN providers: For hosting ffmpeg.wasm files (unpkg, jsDelivr)
• Hosting provider: For serving the website

These services have their own privacy policies. We choose providers that align with our privacy-first values.

5. Data Retention

We don't retain any of your files. Since all processing happens in your browser, we have no files to retain. Analytics data is retained according to Google Analytics' default retention policy (14 months).

6. Security

Our architecture is inherently secure:

• No file transmission means no interception risk
• HTTPS encryption for website access
• Open-source processing (ffmpeg.wasm is auditable)
• No server-side attack surface for your files

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Use the service without providing any personal information
• Block analytics cookies in your browser
• Request information about any data we might have (spoiler: we don't)
• Request deletion of analytics data via Google

8. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has used our service and we've inadvertently collected analytics data, please contact us.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy occasionally. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the service constitutes acceptance of any changes.
