Privacy Policy
Last Updated: November 4, 2026 · Effective Date: November 4, 2026
The Core Privacy Guarantee: Zero Server Uploads
Unlike traditional online converters that upload your files to remote cloud servers, Best GIF Maker processes 100% of your videos directly inside your web browser using client-side HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly. Your videos, audio clips, and generated GIFs never leave your computer or phone.
1. Information We Do NOT Collect
Because our architecture is completely client-side, we do not have access to, nor do we store, any of the following:
- Your Video Files: Videos loaded into the studio are decoded in your browser memory and never uploaded to any server.
- Your Generated GIFs: Rendered GIFs exist solely in temporary browser memory (
blob:URLs) until downloaded to your hard drive. - Text & Captions: Any memes, subtitles, or text overlays entered into the tool remain on your local device.
- Personal Identifiable Information (PII): We do not require accounts, logins, email addresses, or phone numbers to use Best GIF Maker.
2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device
We use modern browser local storage (localStorage) solely for UI preferences:
- Theme Preference: Storing whether you prefer light or dark mode so you don't experience a flash on page reload.
This preference remains on your device and is never synchronized to an external server. You can clear it anytime by resetting your browser cookies and site data.
3. Web Hosting & Server Logs
When you visit bestgifmaker.com, our hosting and content delivery network (such as Cloudflare or Vercel) processes standard HTTP server request logs (including IP addresses, browser user agent strings, and requested asset paths) strictly to deliver web assets and defend against denial-of-service (DDoS) cyber attacks. These standard network logs contain no media or document data.
4. Cookies & Third-Party Advertising
Best GIF Maker is completely free and operates with zero third-party advertising networks, zero tracking cookies, and zero behavioral marketing trackers. We do not sell, rent, or trade your data with data brokers or marketing affiliates.
5. GDPR & CCPA Compliance
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), users have rights regarding their data. Because Best GIF Maker operates on a zero-collection model where no personal media is transferred to us, there is no personal profile or file storage to delete, access, or restrict on our servers.
