Welcome to RAR2ZIP ("we", "us", "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit rartozipconverter.wiki or use the RAR to ZIP converter. It covers choosing an archive, reviewing metadata, creating a ZIP download, contacting support and browsing the site's explanatory content.
1. Browser-side RAR to ZIP conversion
The core RAR to ZIP conversion is designed to run locally in your browser. Your selected single-volume RAR file is read by a browser-side archive engine, its regular files are extracted locally, and a ZIP Blob is created for download. The normal workflow does not require the source archive, file names or folder contents to be uploaded to a conversion server.
Local processing is useful for personal documents, project files, backups or client material that you would rather not send to a third party. It is not a guarantee that every browser or archive will succeed. Browser memory, archive encryption, multipart volumes, damaged files and unusual compression settings can affect the result.
2. Information we may collect
- Technical information: Browser type, device category, operating system, language settings, referral information, timestamps and approximate region.
- IP addresses and identifiers: IP address, online identifiers, cookie identifiers and similar technical identifiers may be processed by hosting, security, analytics or advertising providers.
- Usage data: Pages visited, broad interaction events, performance signals and error information used to understand whether the site works as intended.
- Support communications: Messages sent to our support email, including the contact details, browser details or archive context that you choose to include.
- Selected archive data: The ordinary converter flow is designed to keep the selected archive in the browser session. We do not intentionally place its contents, file names or paths in the page URL.
We do not require an account for the basic converter. If a future feature adds accounts, payments, server-side storage or another materially different data flow, this policy should be updated before that feature is used for personal data.
3. How we use information
- Operate, maintain and improve RAR2ZIP and its browser-based converter.
- Measure page performance, accessibility, reliability and general feature usage.
- Diagnose failed scans, browser compatibility issues and broken downloads.
- Protect the site from abuse, spam, malicious traffic and security incidents.
- Respond to bug reports, corrections, feedback and support requests.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms where necessary.
For example, aggregate technical signals can help us see whether visitors reach the converter, whether a mobile layout is usable or whether a browser error is common. Support messages may contain enough context to reproduce an issue. We use that information for operation and improvement, not to inspect the contents of ordinary local archives.
4. Cookies, analytics, web beacons and Google products
The site may use necessary cookies, local browser storage or similar technologies for hosting, security, preferences, analytics and reliable page operation. Analytics or performance tools, including Microsoft Clarity, may process page views, browser details, approximate region, referral source, session timing, interaction events, IP addresses and other online identifiers. You can control cookies through your browser settings, although blocking some technologies may make measurements less accurate or affect optional site features.
When ads are served on this site through Google AdSense or another Google advertising product, Google and third-party advertising partners may place or read cookies and may use web beacons, IP addresses, browser or device identifiers and other identifiers to serve, measure, limit or personalize advertising, subject to applicable settings, consent requirements and law. Google products may collect, share or use data as described in their own notices. Review Google's partner-sites data-use policy for information about how Google uses data from sites and apps that use its services.
5. Sharing and disclosure
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with hosting, security, analytics, email, advertising or legal service providers when needed to operate the website, measure performance, serve advertising, prevent abuse, respond to support requests or comply with law. Those providers may process information under their own terms and privacy notices.
We may disclose information when required by legal process, when needed to protect the site or its users, or if the website is transferred as part of a business transaction. We aim to limit each disclosure to information reasonably necessary for the specific purpose.
6. Archive retention and local output
The browser-side converter is not a permanent file-storage service. The source archive remains under the browser's temporary page session while it is being scanned or converted, and the generated ZIP is exposed through a temporary local download object until you save it or leave the page. We do not intentionally retain ordinary source archive contents on the server as part of the normal conversion path.
Technical logs, analytics records and support communications may be retained for as long as reasonably needed for site operation, security, troubleshooting, analytics and legal compliance. Retention periods can vary by provider and the type of record involved.
7. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to certain personal information. You may also have the right to withdraw consent when processing depends on consent, or to control cookies and personalized advertising through available browser or provider settings. Contact support@rartozipconverter.wiki to make a request. We may need enough information to verify the request and locate the relevant records.
If you only used the converter without contacting us, there may be little or no personal content for us to identify beyond ordinary technical logs, cookie or identifier records, analytics data and any information collected by advertising providers.
8. Children's privacy
RAR2ZIP is a general-audience website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through a deliberate registration flow. If you believe a child has sent personal information through support email or another channel, contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
9. External links and third-party services
The site may link to browser documentation, archive-format references, standards, third-party tools or Google's policy pages. External websites and services have their own privacy practices, terms and security controls. We are not responsible for those third-party policies, so review them before sending information to another service.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy by changing the effective date and content on this page. Updates may be needed when the site changes its hosting, analytics, advertising, support workflow or converter behavior. Continued use of the site after an update means the revised policy applies to future use.
11. File-handling reminders
Keep your own copy of the original RAR file and the generated ZIP. Close the browser tab or clear browser data if you do not want a temporary local session to remain available. Do not rely on RAR2ZIP as the only place where an important archive exists.
You are responsible for the files you choose to process and for having permission to access, extract, convert and share them. Local processing can reduce unnecessary upload exposure, but it does not create copyright, privacy, trademark or other usage rights in someone else's files.
12. Security notes
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to operate the website, monitor abuse and reduce common security risks. No website can promise perfect security, and browser-side tools still depend on your device, browser, extensions and network environment. Keep your browser updated, download files only from pages you trust and contact us if the converter behaves unexpectedly.
