Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 13, 2026
Our Privacy Philosophy
At Unarchive.today, we believe your data belongs to you. We've built this application with a "Privacy by Design" approach, ensuring that your reading habits, saved content, and personal information never leave your device unless you explicitly choose to export them.
Local Storage & Data Control
We do not maintain any central servers that store your personal data. This means:
- Your browsing history is private and local.
- Your collections are stored only on your phone.
- We cannot see, access, or sell your data because we don't have it.
On-Device AI Models
Unarchive.today utilizes advanced AI models for summarization (Gemma-2B) and transcription (Whisper). Unlike typical AI services that process your data in the cloud, our application downloads these models directly to your device.
- Offline Processing: Summaries are generated locally without an internet connection.
- No Data Uploads: The text from your articles is never sent to our servers or any third-party AI provider.
- Model Management: You have full control over downloading or deleting these models via the app settings.
Webpage Parsing & Rendering
When you use the "Native Reader View," Unarchive.today parses the HTML content of the archived webpage to provide a clean, distraction-free experience.
- Transient Processing: Parsing happens in real-time as you view the page.
- No Content Storage: We do not store the content of the webpages you visit on any external servers.
- Third-Party Content: The content displayed belongs to the original publishers and/or is preserved by archive.today. Unarchive.today is a tool for viewing this content and does not claim ownership or responsibility for the source material.
Website Analytics (Landing Page Only)
Our landing page (unarchive.today) uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us improve the user experience and content.
- Anonymous Data: We collect anonymous usage statistics such as page views, time on site, and geographic location (country level only).
- IP Anonymization: IP addresses are anonymized before being stored.
- No Personal Information: We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information through analytics.
- Your Choice: You can opt-out of analytics by declining cookies when you first visit the site.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies to remember your consent preferences for analytics tracking.
- Essential Cookies: We use a single cookie to remember whether you've accepted or declined analytics tracking.
- Analytics Cookies: If you accept, Google Analytics may set cookies to track your visit.
- No Third-Party Advertising: We do not use cookies for advertising purposes.
- Control: You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.
App Privacy - No Tracking
The Unarchive.today mobile application does not use any tracking scripts, analytics, or advertising networks. Your usage patterns within the app are not tracked, and your identity remains anonymous to us.
