Privacy Policy

Last updated: 1 October 2026

This policy explains what data Unzip Online collects when you use unzip.online and its subdomains (such as 7z.unzip.online and bz2.unzip.online), why we collect it, how long we keep it and what rights you have. Protecting your privacy is a core part of how we built this service.

1. Who is responsible (data controller)

Converter App OÜ is the controller within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for all processing described here.

2. Using the service without an account

You do not need to register or provide your name, e-mail address or any other personal details to use Unzip Online. The service can be used completely anonymously.

3. Files you upload

Unzip Online is a web-based service, so the archive you submit is transferred to our servers and extracted there. The following applies to every file you upload:

• Purpose: extracting the archive and making its contents available for you to browse and download. Nothing else.
• Passwords: if an archive is encrypted, the password you enter is used only to decrypt that archive during the current extraction. It is not stored.
• Access: extracted files are reachable only through private, unlisted links tied to your session. Our staff does not open or review your files.
• Retention: uploaded and extracted files are deleted automatically two hours after processing. You can delete them immediately at any time using the "Delete all" button.
• No secondary use: we do not sell your files, share them with third parties, or use them to train AI or machine-learning models.
• Legal basis: performance of the service you requested (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

4. Where your files are processed

Depending on your location, your request is routed to the nearest of our data centers in the European Union, the United States or Singapore, operated by professional hosting providers (Hetzner in the EU, InterServer in the US, Contabo in Singapore). Where files are processed outside the European Economic Area, this is necessary to perform the service you requested (Art. 49(1)(b) GDPR); files are in any case deleted within two hours.

5. Server logs

Like practically every website, our servers automatically record technical data for each request: your IP address, date and time, the page or file requested, the HTTP status, the amount of data transferred, the referring page and your browser/operating system. We use these logs to keep the service running, to detect abuse and attacks, and to diagnose errors. Logs are deleted after a short period. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in operating a secure and stable service (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

6. Cookies

Unzip Online itself does not use cookies for tracking. The only cookies set by us are technical ones required to operate the service, for example for load balancing and to link an extracted archive to your browser session. These are not used to identify or track you.

Third-party cookies set by our advertising partner are described in section 8. You can change your choices at any time via the cookie settings icon at the bottom of the page.

7. Website analytics

To understand how the site is used, we use Plausible Analytics, a lightweight, open-source analytics tool that works without cookies and without collecting personal data. It does not track you across websites and is fully GDPR-compliant. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in improving the service (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

8. Advertising

Unzip Online is free because it is funded by advertising. We use Google AdSense / Google Ads to display advertisements. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to show personalised ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites, and in doing so processes your IP address and device information.

• Personalised advertising is only enabled with your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw or change your consent at any time via the cookie settings icon at the bottom of the page.
• You can also opt out of ad personalisation in your Google Ads settings.
• Details on how Google uses data from partner sites: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

9. Contact by e-mail

If you write to us, we process your e-mail address and the contents of your message in order to reply. We delete this correspondence once your request is resolved, unless we are legally required to keep it. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR.

10. Summary of processing

11. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you (Art. 15);
• have inaccurate data corrected (Art. 16);
• have your data erased (Art. 17);
• restrict processing (Art. 18);
• receive your data in a portable format (Art. 20);
• object to processing based on legitimate interests (Art. 21);
• withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal (Art. 7(3)).

To exercise any of these rights, e-mail info@unzip.online. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate (Andmekaitse Inspektsioon) or the authority in your country of residence.

12. Security

All transfers to and from our servers are encrypted with SSL/TLS. Files are processed in secured data centers with strict access control, and are removed automatically after two hours. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, which is why we also recommend not uploading archives containing highly sensitive data unless necessary, and deleting your files right after downloading them.

13. Children

Our service is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when our service or the law changes. The current version is always available at unzip.online/privacy/, with the date of the last update shown at the top.

15. Questions
