Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 2026
The short version
Your files never leave your browser. ZipTool is a 100% client-side application. When you open an archive, it is read and parsed entirely inside your browser. The file's contents are not uploaded to, stored on, or processed by any server controlled by ZipTool.
How ZipTool handles your files
All archive parsing is performed locally in your browser using zip.js. Because there is no server-side processing, ZipTool does not receive, copy, or retain the files you open. When you close the tab, the data is gone from your browser's memory.
Information we do not collect
- We do not collect, receive, or store the files you open.
- We do not require an account, and we do not collect your name or email to use the tool.
- We do not sell personal data.
Analytics
ZipTool uses Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate usage — which pages are visited and roughly where visitors come from. Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish users and sessions. The data collected is statistical and is never tied to the files you open (which we never receive). You can block analytics with a content blocker or by disabling cookies in your browser, and ZipTool will still work.
Advertising
ZipTool may display advertisements served by Google AdSense on its content pages (not on the tool itself). Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings and learn more at aboutads.info.
Cookies
Cookies used by Google Analytics and Google AdSense (when ads are shown) are set by Google under Google's privacy policy. ZipTool itself does not set its own tracking cookies.
Third-party services
- Google Analytics 4 — usage analytics.
- Google AdSense — advertising on content pages.
- The self-hosted fonts bundled with the page are served from the same origin, not a third-party service.
Children's privacy
ZipTool is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
