Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 2025

Quick Summary
We respect your privacy. Our image and PDF compression tools work entirely in your browser - we never see or store your files. We only collect basic website analytics through Google Analytics (with your consent) to improve our service.

- What we DON'T collect: Your files, personal information, or accounts
- Your rights: Full control over analytics consent, data access, deletion, and more

Local Processing Technology
- All file compression occurs entirely within your web browser using JavaScript
- No file uploads to servers - your files never leave your device
- No file storage - we cannot access, view, or retain your documents
- Privacy by design - our technical architecture prevents us from accessing your content
What This Means for You
- Complete file privacy - your documents remain 100% private
- Faster processing - no upload/download delays
- Offline functionality - works without internet after initial page load
- No file size limits from our servers (only your device's memory)
