Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 8, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how FastFileTools.online ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at fastfiletools.online ("the Site") and use our free online file processing tools ("the Service"). By using the Site you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Files You Upload

When you use any of our tools, you upload files (PDFs, images, documents) to our servers for processing. These files are stored temporarily in an isolated server job folder only for the time required to process and deliver your output file. Files are automatically and permanently deleted immediately after your download completes, or within 60 minutes of upload — whichever comes first.

1.2 Automatically Collected Data

Like most websites, our servers automatically log standard technical information when you visit: your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and date/time of access. This data is used solely for security monitoring, abuse prevention, and aggregated traffic analysis. We do not use this data to personally identify you.

1.3 Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality, such as session management and the cookie consent banner preference. These cannot be disabled.

Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous, aggregated data about page views, session duration, and traffic sources. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising cookies: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Site or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info/choices.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain features on the Site.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information described above to: (a) process your uploaded files and deliver the requested output; (b) operate, maintain, and improve the Site and Service; (c) monitor for security threats and abuse; (d) display relevant advertisements through Google AdSense; (e) analyze aggregated traffic data to improve performance and user experience.

3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect data independently:

Google AdSense: Serves advertisements on the Site. Google may use cookies and web beacons to collect data for ad personalization. Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics: Collects anonymous, aggregated usage statistics. Data is processed in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

Google Fonts: Web fonts are loaded from Google servers. Google may log your IP address in accordance with their privacy policy.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with any other third party.

4. Data Retention

Uploaded files: Deleted immediately after download or within 60 minutes — we operate a strict zero-retention policy for user files.

Server logs: Retained for up to 30 days for security and diagnostic purposes, then automatically purged.

Cookies: Duration varies by type. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Analytics and advertising cookies may persist for up to 2 years (controlled by Google).

5. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information transmitted to and stored on our servers. All data transfers are encrypted using HTTPS/TLS. File processing occurs in isolated job directories. Despite these measures, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (including the EU/EEA under GDPR, California under CCPA, and other regions), you may have the right to: access, correct, or delete your personal data; object to or restrict processing; withdraw consent for cookies; and file a complaint with a supervisory authority. Since we do not retain personal data or uploaded files beyond your active session, most data subject requests are already fulfilled by default. For any questions, contact us using the details below.

8. International Users

The Site is accessible worldwide. By using the Site from outside the country where our servers are located, you consent to the transfer and processing of your data in that country. We comply with applicable data protection laws in all jurisdictions we serve.

9. Changes to This Privacy 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 Site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
