Last updated: July 2026. This policy explains what information avalok.ai processes, how advertising and cookies work, and the choices available to you.
What we process
avalok.ai is a browser-based tool. When you paste a link, the URL is processed in memory only to fetch the publicly available file, and is not stored on our servers afterwards. We do not keep a download history tied to your identity, and we do not require an account, email, or login to use the tool.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our servers and analytics record limited technical information such as a coarse, hashed representation of your IP address (used only to count unique visitors, never stored in raw form), your browser type, the pages you view, and the referring site. This is used to understand aggregate traffic and keep the service reliable and secure. We do not build an advertising profile of you ourselves.
Cookies & advertising
avalok.ai is supported by advertising, which keeps the tool free. We and our advertising partners, including Google, use cookies to serve and measure ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third party's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info. For more on how Google uses data, see Google's Privacy & Terms.
Consent (EEA, UK & Switzerland)
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are presented with a consent choice before non-essential cookies (including advertising cookies) are set, in line with applicable law and Google's consent requirements. You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clearing cookies for this site.
Children
avalok.ai is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
Data retention & security
Pasted links are transient and not retained. Aggregate analytics counters are kept only as long as useful for operating the site. We take reasonable measures to protect our systems, but no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
Your choices
You can clear or block cookies at any time in your browser settings. For any privacy question or request, email hello@avalok.ai.
