Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 2025
1. Introduction
Fast-Vid (hereinafter referred to as "Fast-Vid," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website fast-vid.com. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you may provide while using our service. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.
By using Fast-Vid, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with the terms outlined herein, please discontinue use of our service immediately.
2. What We Do — File Conversion
Fast-Vid is a free online file conversion tool that allows you to convert images, PDFs, and audio files directly in your browser. All file conversion processing happens entirely on your device using client-side JavaScript. We do not upload, collect, store, transmit, or process any files you convert on our servers. Your files never leave your computer. This means we have no access to the contents of any file you convert using our tools.
Because all processing occurs locally in your browser, we are unable to view, retrieve, recover, or assist with any data loss related to files you convert. We recommend keeping backups of your original files before performing any conversion.
3. Information We Collect
We collect very limited information about your visit to fast-vid.com. Specifically, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymous, aggregated data about how visitors use our website. This includes:
- Pages visited and the duration of each visit
- The referring website or search engine that brought you to Fast-Vid
- Your general geographic region (country and city level, not your precise location)
- Browser type and version, operating system, and device type
- Aggregate interaction data such as clicks and scrolling behavior
This information is collected anonymously and cannot be used to identify you personally. Google Analytics 4 uses IP address data in a de-identified manner by default and does not log individual IP addresses. We do not enable Google Signals or any cross-device tracking features.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Fast-Vid uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve our website. For a detailed breakdown of the specific cookies we use, their purpose, and how to control them, please refer to our Cookie Policy.
In summary, we use the following categories of cookies:
- Analytics Cookies: Set by Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with our site and help us improve the user experience.
- Advertising Cookies: Set by Google AdSense to deliver targeted advertisements and measure their performance.
- Preference Cookies: Used to remember your preferences, such as dark mode or light mode theme selection (stored in localStorage, not as traditional cookies).
5. Advertising and Third-Party Services
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses your data at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Google AdSense may serve interest-based advertisements using the DoubleClick cookie. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com.
6. No Sale of Personal Information
Fast-Vid does not sell, trade, rent, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties. The anonymous, aggregated data collected through Google Analytics is used solely for the purpose of improving our website and understanding our audience. We do not share any information that could identify you personally.
7. Your GDPR Rights
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
- Right to Access: You have the right to request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and, if so, to access that data and receive a copy.
- Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You have the right to request deletion of your personal data, subject to certain conditions.
- Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
- Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller.
- Right to Object: You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes or on grounds relating to your particular situation.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at contact@fast-vid.com. We will respond to your request within 30 days. Given that we collect minimal anonymous data, we may require additional information from you to locate any relevant data before fulfilling your request.
8. Data Retention
Google Analytics 4 data is retained for a default period of 14 months. After this period, individual-level data is automatically deleted from Google's servers. Aggregated reports may be retained beyond this period but will no longer be linked to specific events or users.
We do not maintain any user accounts, profiles, or databases on our servers. As a result, we do not retain any personal data beyond what is collected by third-party analytics and advertising services under their respective data retention policies.
9. Children's Privacy
Fast-Vid is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the European Economic Area). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately. We will take steps to remove that information from our records.
10. Third-Party Links
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including advertisements served by Google AdSense. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or operational considerations. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
