By accessing Koala Convert, You agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Types of Data We Collect

Personal Data

While using our Service, we may ask You to provide certain information that can be used to contact or identify You, such as:

  • Identity information (first and last name, display name, avatar images).
  • Contact details (email address, billing address, country/region).
  • Account credentials and authentication tokens.
  • Payment metadata handled securely by Paddle, described in our Payments & Billing Policy.

Usage Data

Usage Data is collected automatically and may include IP address, browser type, device characteristics, conversion parameters, feature interactions, time spent in the app, and diagnostic reports when the product encounters an error.

Files & media

Your media stays on your device. Conversions run entirely in your browser via WebAssembly, so Koala Convert does not access, transmit, or store your source files unless you voluntarily send them to support.

Tracking Technologies & Cookies

We rely on first-party cookies, secure session tokens, and local storage entries to keep You signed in, remember conversion presets, and respect rate limits. Optional analytics cookies are only activated when you grant consent through our banner. For a detailed breakdown of categories and retention periods, review the Cookies Policy.

Use of Your Personal Data

  • Provide and maintain the Service, including monitoring usage, enforcing limits, and preventing abuse.
  • Manage your Account and authentication flows so premium features stay tied to the right user.
  • Process purchases, renewals, and refunds via Paddle.
  • Send important notices about security updates, upcoming maintenance, or product changes.
  • Respond to support tickets, bug reports, and feature requests.
  • Analyze aggregated usage trends to improve performance, codecs, and UX, without attaching results to individual files.
  • Comply with legal obligations, including tax and regulatory requirements.

Sharing & Disclosure

  • Service Providers: trusted vendors such as hosting providers, error monitoring platforms, email delivery, and Paddle.
  • Business transfers: if Koala Convert is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, Personal Data may be transferred.
  • Legal requirements: we may disclose info to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect users, or defend legal claims.
  • With consent: we will share your information for other purposes only when you explicitly authorize it.

Retention, Security & International Transfers

Personal Data is retained for as long as necessary to deliver the Service, meet legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Account-level data is deleted or anonymized within 30 days of a verified deletion request unless retention is required by tax or accounting laws.

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including encryption in transit, role-based access, and security reviews. While no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, we strive to protect your information using commercially acceptable means.

Data may be processed in the United States or any location where service providers operate. By using Koala Convert, you consent to transferring data outside your jurisdiction, subject to appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses.
