Privacy Policy

At GIFCove, accessible through GIFCove.com, protecting your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how it is used, and the choices available to you when you use our website and browser-based GIF tools.

By accessing or using GIFCove, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy P

1. Local File Processing

GIFCove is designed to process GIF files locally in your browser whenever supported.

Files you select for compatible GIFCove tools are processed directly on your device. We do not intentionally upload, store, transmit, view, or share those GIF files through our servers.

Closing your browser, refreshing the page, or clearing the selected file removes it from the active tool session.

If a future tool requires server-side processing, we will clearly disclose this before the file is uploaded and update this Privacy Policy where necessary.

2. Information We May Collect

Although we do not collect the GIF files processed locally by our tools, we may collect limited information about your visit.

This may include:

  • Your browser type and version
  • Device type and operating system
  • Internet Protocol address
  • Approximate country or general location
  • Pages visited and tools used
  • Referring and exit pages
  • Date and time of access
  • Website performance and error information
  • Cookie or consent preferences

This information is generally used in an aggregated or pseudonymous form to maintain, secure, and improve GIFCove.

3. Information You Provide

If you contact us through our contact form, we may collect information you voluntarily provide, including:

Your name
Email address
Selected contact topic
Message contents
Any other information you choose to include

We use this information only to respond to your inquiry, provide assistance, investigate reported problems, and maintain necessary communication records.

Please do not include confidential, financial, medical, or other sensitive personal information in your message.

4. How We Use Information

We may use the limited information collected through GIFCove to:

  • Operate and maintain the website
  • Provide access to GIF tools and website features
  • Respond to questions and support requests
  • Monitor website performance
  • Diagnose technical problems
  • Understand which tools and pages are useful
  • Improve usability, features, and content
  • Protect GIFCove against spam, fraud, abuse, and security threats
  • Display and measure advertising
  • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your uploaded GIF files or use their contents for advertising, profiling, or artificial-intelligence training.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

GIFCove and its service providers may use cookies, local storage, web beacons, pixels, and similar technologies.

These technologies may be used for:

  • Essential website functionality
  • Remembering privacy and consent choices
  • Website security and fraud prevention
  • Measuring traffic and website performance
  • Understanding how visitors use GIFCove
  • Displaying and measuring advertisements
  • Limiting how often an advertisement appears
  • Delivering personalized advertising where permitted and consented to

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website features.

Where required by applicable law, non-essential cookies will only be used after you provide consent through our cookie or consent-management interface.

6. Google AdSense and Advertising

GIFCove may use Google AdSense and other advertising partners to display advertisements.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may place or read cookies on your browser or use web beacons, IP addresses, and similar technologies to serve, personalize, limit, and measure advertisements.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to display advertisements based on your visit to GIFCove and, where permitted, your visits to other websites.

Depending on your location and consent choices, you may receive personalized, non-personalized, or limited advertisements. Non-personalized advertisements may still use cookies or similar technologies for frequency capping, aggregated reporting, fraud prevention, and security.

You can manage how Google personalizes advertisements through Google Ads Settings:

https://adssettings.google.com/

You can learn how Google uses information from websites that use its services here:

https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Additional information about Google’s use of advertising cookies is available here:

https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

Other advertising partners may maintain their own privacy policies and opt-out mechanisms.

7. Consent for European Visitors

For visitors located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, GIFCove will use a Google-certified Consent Management Platform where required.

The consent interface may allow you to:

  • Accept eligible cookies and data processing
  • Reject non-essential processing
  • Manage advertising preferences
  • View participating advertising providers
  • Change or withdraw your consent

Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred lawfully before consent was withdrawn.

You can reopen the cookie or privacy settings on GIFCove to update your choices when that option is available.

8. Analytics

GIFCove may use privacy-respecting analytics services or services such as Google Analytics to understand website usage and improve our tools.

Depending on the analytics service and your consent choices, information may include:

  • Pages and tools visited
  • Time spent on pages
  • General device and browser information
  • Referring website
  • Approximate geographic region
  • Website errors and performance measurements

Analytics information is not intended to identify you directly. Where legally required, analytics cookies will only be activated after consent.

9. How We Share Information

We may share limited information with trusted service providers that help us operate GIFCove, including providers responsible for:

  • Website hosting
  • Website security
  • Analytics
  • Advertising
  • Contact-form delivery
  • Spam prevention
  • Technical infrastructure

These providers may process information only as necessary to perform their services or as described in their own privacy notices.

We may also disclose information if reasonably necessary to:

  • Comply with a legal obligation
  • Respond to a valid legal request
  • Protect the rights, safety, and security of GIFCove or others
  • Investigate fraud, abuse, or security incidents
    Enforce our terms and policies
  • Support a merger, acquisition, financing, or transfer of website ownership

We do not sell personal information for money.

Depending on applicable privacy law, some personalized advertising activities may be considered “sharing” or “targeted advertising.” Where required, visitors will be provided with an appropriate consent or opt-out option.

10. Data Retention

Locally processed GIF files are not intentionally retained by GIFCove because they remain on your device.

Contact-form information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your request, maintain support records, prevent abuse, or comply with legal obligations.

Technical logs, analytics records, consent records, and security information may be retained for limited periods based on operational, contractual, security, and legal requirements.

Information may be deleted, anonymized, or aggregated when it is no longer required.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no internet transmission, browser application, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You use GIFCove and transmit information at your own risk.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to personal information associated with you
  • Request correction of inaccurate information
  • Request deletion of eligible personal information
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Withdraw consent
  • Request a portable copy of eligible information
  • Opt out of targeted advertising or certain forms of data sharing
  • Submit a complaint to an appropriate privacy authority

To make a privacy request, please contact us through the GIFCove Contact Us page.

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests. Some requests may be limited where information must be retained for security, legal, fraud-prevention, or operational reasons.

13. International Data Processing

GIFCove and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live.

Privacy and data-protection laws may differ between countries. Where required, appropriate safeguards will be used for international data transfers.

14. Children’s Privacy

GIFCove is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe that a child has submitted personal information through GIFCove, please contact us so that we can investigate and delete eligible information.

Where local law requires a higher minimum age for consent, we will apply the applicable requirement.

15. External Links

GIFCove may contain links to third-party websites or services.

We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of third-party websites. We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of every external website you visit.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our tools, advertising practices, legal obligations, or service providers change.

The revised policy will be published on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Material changes may also be communicated through a notice on the website where appropriate.
