Privacy Policy

1. Overview

AVIF.fast ("we," "us," or "Service") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our browser-based AVIF image conversion service.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

We want to be clear about what we do NOT collect:

• Your Files: All image conversions happen locally in your browser. Your AVIF files and converted images never leave your device and are never uploaded to our servers.
• File Contents: We have no access to view, store, or process the content of your images.
• Personal Information: We do not require accounts, registration, or personal details to use the Service.

3. Information We May Collect

We may collect limited, non-identifying information:

• Analytics Data: We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand general usage patterns (e.g., number of visits, pages viewed, approximate geographic region). This data is anonymous and cannot identify individual users.
• Technical Data: Standard web server logs may collect IP addresses, browser type, and access times for security and performance purposes. This data is automatically deleted after a reasonable retention period.
• Cookies: We may use essential cookies for basic website functionality. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.

4. How Your Files Are Processed

When you upload a AVIF file to the Service:

• The file is processed entirely within your web browser using JavaScript
• No data is transmitted to our servers or any third-party services
• The converted image exists only in your browser's temporary memory
• When you download the converted file, it is saved directly to your device
• Closing your browser tab permanently deletes all processed data from memory

5. Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services:

• Hosting Provider: Our website is hosted by a third-party service. However, because all conversion happens in your browser, your files never reach the hosting servers.
• Analytics: If we use analytics services, we configure them to respect user privacy and comply with privacy regulations.

These services may have their own privacy policies that govern their data collection practices.

6. Data Security

Because your files are processed locally and never transmitted to our servers, the security of your files depends primarily on your device and browser security. We recommend:

• Using up-to-date browsers with current security patches
• Avoiding public or shared computers when processing sensitive images
• Clearing your browser cache and downloads after use

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including:

• Right to access personal data we hold
• Right to correct inaccurate data
• Right to delete your data
• Right to object to data processing

However, because we do not collect or store your files or personal information, these rights are largely inapplicable to our core Service.

9. International Users

The Service can be accessed globally. Because all processing occurs locally in your browser, your files do not cross international borders through our Service.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
