📋 Information We Collect

3v.gg is a free online tools platform. We are committed to minimizing data collection. When you use our tools, we may collect:

  • Usage Data: Anonymous analytics about which tools are used, how often, and for how long. No personally identifiable information is tied to this data.
  • Video / File URLs: When you use our download tools (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Bilibili), the URL you submit is processed temporarily to generate your download link. We do not permanently store the content or the URL.
  • Uploaded PDFs: Files you upload for PDF tools (merge, split, compress, etc.) are processed in memory and deleted immediately after processing. They are never stored on our servers.
  • Technical Data: Browser type, device type, and IP address (anonymized) for analytics and abuse prevention.

⚙️ How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect solely to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve our tools.
  • Analyze usage patterns to enhance user experience.
  • Detect and prevent abuse or malicious activity.
  • Comply with legal obligations if required by law.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

🍪 Cookies

We use minimal cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality:

  • Essential Cookies: Required for the site to function (e.g., session management, CSRF protection). These do not track you across sites.
  • Analytics Cookies: We may use privacy-respecting analytics (e.g., Plausible or a self-hosted solution) that do not use cross-site tracking or collect personal data.

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some tool functionality.

🔒 Data Security

We take data security seriously. All connections to 3v.gg are served over HTTPS / TLS encryption. Files you upload for processing are handled in ephemeral memory and never written to disk. We implement industry-standard security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  • Hosting & Infrastructure: Our servers are provided by trusted cloud infrastructure partners.
  • Analytics: Privacy-focused analytics to understand aggregate usage (no personal data shared).
  • Fonts & CDN: Google Fonts and content delivery networks to serve assets efficiently.

These third parties have their own privacy policies governing data handling. We encourage you to review them.
