Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 23, 2026

At FolderToZip, we respect your privacy and understand the importance of protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you use our website, how that information may be used, and the choices available to you.

FolderToZip is an online file utility platform created to provide tools for working with ZIP files and other supported file formats. We aim to keep our services simple, useful, and transparent about how information is handled.

By using FolderToZip, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you use FolderToZip.

Information You Provide

You may provide information directly when you use certain features of our website, such as:

Contact information when you contact us
Information submitted through forms
Comments or other content you choose to submit
Files uploaded to use our file-processing tools

You are not required to create an account simply to use the basic file utility features unless a particular feature specifically requires one.

Files You Upload

FolderToZip provides tools that allow users to upload files for processing.

Depending on the tool you use, these files may include ZIP archives, folders, or other supported file formats.

Uploaded files are processed for the purpose of providing the requested tool functionality. We do not use the contents of your uploaded files for unrelated purposes.

Temporary files may be created during processing. These files are intended to be used for the requested operation and should be removed when they are no longer required, subject to technical and operational requirements.

Please do not upload files containing highly sensitive or confidential information unless you are comfortable using the service for that purpose.

2. How We Use Information

Information collected through FolderToZip may be used to:

Provide and operate our website
Process uploaded files and complete requested operations
Improve the functionality and reliability of our tools
Respond to questions and support requests
Maintain website security
Detect and prevent abuse or misuse
Understand how visitors use our website
Improve website performance and usability
Maintain and troubleshoot technical systems
Display advertisements where applicable
Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not intend to use information for purposes unrelated to the services provided by FolderToZip.

3. File Processing and Temporary Storage

File processing is an important part of FolderToZip.

When you upload a file to one of our tools, the file may temporarily pass through our server or processing environment so that the requested operation can be completed.

Depending on the tool and technical implementation, temporary copies may be created during processing.

We aim to remove temporary uploaded and generated files when they are no longer required for the requested operation.

However, no internet service can guarantee that every file or piece of data will always be immediately removed from every technical system, such as temporary system storage, backups, logs, or security systems.

For this reason, users should avoid uploading extremely sensitive, confidential, or legally protected information unless they have determined that using the service is appropriate for that information.

4. Cookies

FolderToZip may use cookies and similar technologies to provide and improve the website.

Cookies may be used for purposes such as:

Maintaining website functionality
Remembering certain preferences
Maintaining sessions where applicable
Understanding website usage
Measuring website performance
Supporting advertising services

Some cookies may be placed by third-party services that operate on or through our website.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. However, disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some parts of the website.

5. Analytics

We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use FolderToZip.

Analytics information may include details such as:

Pages visited
Approximate geographic information
Browser type
Device type
Operating system
Referring website
Time spent on pages
General interaction with the website

This information helps us understand which parts of the website are useful and identify technical or usability problems.

Where third-party analytics services are used, their own privacy policies may also apply.

6. Advertising

FolderToZip may display advertisements from third-party advertising providers.

Advertising providers may use cookies, advertising identifiers, or similar technologies to provide, measure, or personalize advertisements according to their own policies and applicable requirements.

We do not directly control the information collected by independent advertising providers through their services.

Users should review the privacy policies of the relevant advertising provider for more information about how advertising-related information is handled.

7. Third-Party Services

FolderToZip may use third-party services for purposes such as:

Website analytics
Advertising
Hosting
Security
Performance monitoring
Infrastructure
Other technical services required to operate the website

These third parties may process certain information according to their own privacy policies and contractual or legal requirements.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of third-party services when appropriate.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information handled through FolderToZip.

Security measures may include:

Secure server configuration
Access controls
Input validation
File validation
Protection against unsafe file paths
Temporary-file management
Protection against common file-processing risks
Monitoring for suspicious or abusive activity

However, no website, server, or online transmission method can guarantee absolute security.

For this reason, users should take reasonable precautions when sharing information online.

9. Children's Privacy

FolderToZip is a general-purpose website and is not specifically designed to collect personal information from children.

We do not knowingly request or intentionally collect personal information from children in violation of applicable privacy laws.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us without appropriate consent, please contact us so that the matter can be reviewed.

10. Links to Other Websites

FolderToZip may contain links to external websites or services.

These websites are operated independently from FolderToZip and have their own privacy policies and terms.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, security, or policies of third-party websites.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external website before providing personal information.

11. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to operate our services, maintain security, resolve disputes, comply with legal requirements, or meet other legitimate operational needs.

Uploaded files used for file-processing tools are intended to be temporary and should not be retained longer than necessary for the requested operation, subject to technical requirements.

Different types of information may have different retention periods.

12. Your Privacy Choices

Depending on your location and applicable privacy laws, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.

These rights may include the ability to:

Request information about personal data we may hold
Request correction of inaccurate information
Request deletion of certain personal information
Object to certain processing
Request restriction of certain processing
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
Request information about how your data is used

Some rights may be subject to legal or technical limitations.

To make a privacy-related request, please contact us using the contact information provided on our website.

13. Do Not Track

Some web browsers provide a "Do Not Track" setting.

Because there is currently no universal technical standard for interpreting these signals across all websites and services, FolderToZip may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track signal.

You can manage cookies and related privacy settings through your browser.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website, services, technology, legal requirements, or privacy practices.

When we make changes, we will update the Last Updated date at the top of this page.

We encourage visitors to review this page periodically to stay informed about how information is handled.
