Privacy Policy

Welcome to GIF Toolkit. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, when it may be shared, and the choices available to you when using our website and services.

GIF Toolkit provides browser based tools for creating, editing, converting, and optimizing GIFs. Protecting your privacy is an important part of how we design our services. Whenever possible, files are processed directly in your browser instead of being uploaded to our servers.

By accessing or using GIF Toolkit, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please discontinue using our website and services.

GIF Toolkit is an online platform that provides browser based GIF editing, conversion, optimization, and animation tools. Our goal is to give users fast, secure, and easy to use utilities while keeping control of their files in their own browser whenever possible.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, you can contact us at:

Email: support@giftoolkit.com

The information we collect depends on how you interact with GIF Toolkit. Some information is provided directly by you, while other information is collected automatically to help us operate, secure, and improve our services.

When you contact us by email, we may collect information including:

• Name
• Email address
• Subject
• Message

We use this information only to respond to your inquiry, provide support, investigate reported issues, or communicate about your request.

If you purchase a premium license, information necessary to process your order and verify your license may also be collected by our payment provider.

Premium features require a valid license key.

When you activate a premium license, your license key is securely verified through our licensing system. This verification helps confirm that the license is valid, prevents fraud, and allows premium features to be unlocked.

The verification process does not include the GIF files or images you edit using our tools.

Like most modern websites, certain technical information may be collected automatically when you visit GIF Toolkit.

This information may include:

• IP address
• Browser type and version
• Device information
• Operating system
• Pages visited
• Referring website
• Date and time of access
• General usage statistics
• Diagnostic and error logs

This information helps us maintain security, diagnose technical issues, understand website performance, and improve the overall user experience.

We do not use this information to identify you personally unless required for security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.

One of the core principles of GIF Toolkit is privacy by design.

Most tools available on GIF Toolkit process your files directly within your web browser. This means your GIFs, videos, images, and other supported files generally remain on your own device during processing.

Unless a specific feature clearly states otherwise, your files are not uploaded to our servers for editing, conversion, or optimization.

Because processing happens locally in your browser, you remain in control of your files throughout the editing process.

GIF Toolkit is designed to minimize the amount of user data we handle.

We do not permanently store the GIFs, images, videos, or other media files that you process using our browser based tools.

After processing is complete, your files remain under your control on your own device.

However, temporary browser memory may be used while a tool is actively processing your files. This temporary data exists only for the duration of the processing session and is automatically cleared by your browser when the session ends or the page is closed.

If you choose to contact us by email, we collect only the information necessary to respond to your request.

Information you send in a support email may be used to:

• Respond to support requests
• Answer general questions
• Investigate technical issues
• Improve our services
• Communicate about your inquiry

We do not sell or rent the personal information you submit in support emails.

Premium tools are available through paid licenses.

Payments are securely processed by Polar, our authorized payment provider. We do not directly collect or store your payment card information.

When you purchase a license, Polar may collect billing and payment information necessary to complete your transaction. Their handling of personal information is governed by their own privacy policies.

After a successful purchase, your license key can be used to activate eligible premium features according to your selected plan.

GIF Toolkit uses cookies and similar technologies to improve website functionality, understand how visitors use our services, and support future advertising features.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help websites remember information about your visit and improve your browsing experience.

Disabling these cookies may affect certain parts of the website.

We may use first-party or third-party analytics in the future to understand how visitors use GIF Toolkit. Analytics cookies are not active unless an analytics provider is enabled.

If analytics are enabled, cookies may collect information such as:

• Pages visited
• Time spent on the website
• Device type
• Browser type
• Operating system
• Approximate geographic region

This information would help us improve website performance, identify technical issues, and understand which features are most useful to our visitors.

Analytics reports, when used, are primarily aggregated and are not intended to personally identify individual users.

GIF Toolkit may display advertisements through third party advertising partners in the future when advertising is enabled.

If advertising is enabled, advertising cookies may be used to:

• Display relevant advertisements
• Limit repeated advertisements
• Measure advertising performance
• Detect fraudulent activity
• Improve advertising quality

Advertising partners may collect information according to their own privacy policies.

Advertising cookies are not active while advertising is disabled.

Most web browsers allow you to manage, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings.

You may also configure your browser to notify you before cookies are stored.

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality, performance, or availability of some website features.

GIF Toolkit may use website analytics tools in the future to understand how visitors use our services and to improve performance.

If an analytics provider is enabled, it may collect information such as:

• Device information
• Browser information
• Session statistics
• Website interactions
• Approximate location
• Technical performance data

This information would be used only for analytics, performance monitoring, troubleshooting, and service improvements.

Any analytics provider we enable will process information according to its own privacy policy.

GIF Toolkit may participate in advertising programs in the future when advertising is enabled on the site.

When advertisements are displayed, advertising providers may use cookies or similar technologies to:

• Deliver advertisements
• Measure advertising effectiveness
• Prevent fraud
• Improve advertising relevance
• Generate aggregated reporting

The use of these technologies is governed by the privacy policies of the respective advertising providers.

Until advertising is enabled, advertising cookies and related tracking from ad partners are not used.

Premium licenses are purchased through Polar, our authorized payment provider.

Payment information such as credit card details, billing information, and payment verification is processed directly by Polar.

GIF Toolkit does not receive or store your complete payment card information.

Polar is responsible for securely processing payment transactions in accordance with applicable laws and industry security standards.

We recommend reviewing Polar's Privacy Policy to learn how they process your personal information.

GIF Toolkit relies on trusted third party service providers to operate, secure, and improve the website.

These providers may process limited information necessary to perform their respective services.

Our current service providers may include:

Each third party provider maintains its own privacy practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before using services that involve them.

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share limited information only when necessary to:

• Process payments
• Verify premium licenses
• Operate website infrastructure
• Analyze website performance
• Comply with legal obligations
• Protect our legal rights
• Detect fraud or abuse
• Enforce our Terms of Service

We do not share the GIF files or media content you process through our browser based tools because they are generally processed locally on your device.

We retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and maintain security.

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods depending on their purpose.

For example:

• Support email messages may be retained to provide customer support and maintain communication history.
• License verification records may be retained to validate premium access, prevent fraud, and manage licensing.
• If website analytics are enabled, aggregated or anonymized reports may be retained to understand long term website performance.
• Basic server logs may be retained for security monitoring, troubleshooting, and operational purposes before being automatically deleted according to our infrastructure policies.

When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or anonymize it where practical.

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect the information we process from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

Because most file processing takes place directly within your browser, your GIFs, images, videos, and other supported files generally remain on your own device instead of being transmitted to our servers.

While we work to maintain a secure environment, no method of transmitting information over the internet or storing electronic information can be guaranteed to be completely secure. For this reason, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information under applicable privacy laws.

These rights may include the ability to:

• Request access to the personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request deletion of your personal information where permitted by law.
• Request restrictions on certain types of processing.
• Object to specific processing activities where applicable.
• Request a copy of your information in a portable format where legally required.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on your consent.

To exercise any applicable privacy rights, please contact us using the contact information provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.

We may request reasonable information to verify your identity before responding to your request.
