Privacy Policy
Last updated:
ZipZap, operated by an independent developer. This policy explains what happens to your data when you use the site. Contact: [email protected].
Your files stay on your device
Your selected PDF is read and processed in your browser. The application does not send file bytes, file names, extracted statement values or edited results to our servers or anyone else. Exports are generated locally and downloaded to your device.
The site downloads its program resources and the fictional sample statement to prepare the workspace. These downloads do not upload your own files. No account or login is required.
What your browser stores and why
To make the workspace work, the tool temporarily stores your selected PDF, extracted statement data, column settings and generated exports on your device. Where supported, temporary file bytes use the browser's origin private file system (OPFS), in a separate directory for each page session, under random identifiers rather than original file names. Each session also stores a timestamp that is refreshed while the page is active. If that storage is unavailable, startup cleanup fails or a write fails, the tool uses page memory instead.
File name references, the displayed preview, editing options and undo history are kept in page memory. There is no saved account or workspace history to restore on a later visit.
The current application does not set cookies or use IndexedDB, localStorage or sessionStorage. The current tool does not register a service worker or write to the browser Cache Storage API. Your browser may keep ordinary cached copies of site resources such as pages, scripts, fonts and the sample PDF so it can reuse downloads.
How to clear local data
Use Choose another PDF, or Cancel reading while parsing, to reset the workspace and remove its temporary data. Cleanup also runs when the workspace is removed, and the page attempts to delete its session directory when you leave. Anything left by a crash, reload or closed tab is removed the next time you open this site in the same browser. Before enabling file intake, startup cleanup uses browser Web Locks to preserve sessions still in use by another open tab and remove abandoned sessions. Closing a tab does not guarantee immediate deletion.
If your browser does not support Web Locks, startup cleanup instead removes sessions whose last timestamp refresh was more than 24 hours ago, so a later visit may be needed. A tab suspended for that long can also be treated as inactive. If a browser storage error prevents startup cleanup, the tool uses page memory for new files and retries cleanup on your next visit.
To remove remaining local file data, close ZipZap tabs and use your browser's privacy or site settings to clear site data for zipzapkit.com. Use its clear cached files option to remove cached site resources. The exact setting names depend on your browser.
Downloaded exports are separate files on your device. Clearing site data does not delete those downloads; remove them yourself if you no longer need them.
No analytics today
We collect no product analytics now. Production telemetry does nothing and sends no events. We will update this policy before adding any analytics. Hosting request data is described below.
Hosting and standard request data
The site is served through Cloudflare. Cloudflare processes standard request data, including your IP address and user agent, to deliver and protect the site. Local file processing does not prevent this normal request handling when your browser loads the site and its resources.
When you email support
Email sent to [email protected] is received by the operator and used only to answer it. Your message and the return email address are available to the operator for that reply. Avoid attaching a real bank statement or other sensitive files.
Future payments
Paid features and purchases are not available yet. When they launch, a third party merchant of record will process payment and tax. ZipZap will not receive or store card details. This policy will be updated to describe any purchase or licence data the site handles before paid features launch.
