We are committed to maintaining user privacy and ensuring transparency in how data is handled across our audio and video tools, including conversion, compression, merging, trimming, watermarking, and editing features.

6. Google AdSense & Advertising
We may display advertisements served by Google AdSense and other advertising partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings and aboutads.info. On this site, advertising cookies load only after you grant advertising consent via our cookie banner (Google Consent Mode v2).
7. Google Analytics
If you consent to analytics cookies, we may use Google Analytics to understand aggregate traffic and usage. Analytics scripts are not loaded until consent is granted. You can withdraw consent at any time via Cookie Preferences. Learn more at Google Privacy Policy.
8. Third-Party Services
We use service providers that may process data on our behalf, including authentication/storage providers (e.g., Supabase), email delivery, hosting, and (with consent) Google Analytics and Google advertising products. These providers process data under contractual safeguards where required.
10. File Processing, Security & Retention
- Upload security: Uploads for server tools are transmitted over HTTPS. Access to temporary processing paths is restricted to our processing systems.
- Encryption: Data in transit is protected with TLS. Account credentials are handled by our authentication provider; we do not store plaintext passwords.
- Deletion: Temporary processing files are removed after the job completes (and no later than 24 hours). Account-saved files remain until you delete them or request account deletion.
- Supported formats: Audio — MP3, WAV, AAC, FLAC, OGG, M4A, WMA. Video — MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WEBM, WMV, FLV.
Do not upload unlawful, confidential, or sensitive personal data that you are not authorized to process. We are not responsible for content you choose to upload.
11. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA/UK where required). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact onlinevideoconverter@vektosys.com and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
12. Your Rights (GDPR, CCPA & Similar Laws)
Depending on your location, you may have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete personal data
- Restrict or object to certain processing
- Data portability
- Withdraw consent at any time (without affecting prior lawful processing)
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
- Under CCPA/CPRA (California): know, delete, correct, and opt out of certain “sales”/“sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not sell personal information for money. Advertising cookies may constitute “sharing” — control this via the cookie banner and settings control in the site header, and industry opt-outs.
To exercise rights, email onlinevideoconverter@vektosys.com. We may verify your identity before responding.
13. International Users
We may process and store information in India and other countries where our providers operate. Where we transfer personal data from the EEA/UK/Switzerland, we use appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) as required by law.
