Our Service does not require registration or login. We do not collect names, email addresses, or any directly identifiable personal data.
Information that may be recorded automatically includes:
- Technical connection data: anonymized IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and session duration. This information is used solely for statistical purposes and service improvement.

We do not associate uploaded files with any personal identifier.
3. File Processing
- The file is transmitted to our server over an encrypted connection (HTTPS/TLS).
- The requested operation is performed (compress, convert, merge, etc.).
- The result is made available for download.
- Both the original file and the result are automatically deleted, with no possibility of recovery, within 2 hours.
4. Cookies
We use only strictly necessary cookies for service operation:
- tb_consent — records your cookie consent decision (duration: 1 year).
