Privacy Policy

Overview

At Image Tools, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and how we protect it. We believe that privacy is a fundamental right, and we have designed our service to respect that right from the ground up.

Our core philosophy is simple: your images are yours alone. Unlike most online image processing services, we never ask you to upload your files to our servers. Every tool on this website runs entirely within your web browser, which means your personal photos, confidential documents, and private screenshots never leave your device.

Information We Do Not Collect

When you use our image processing tools, we do not collect, store, or have any access to:

• Your images, photographs, or documents
• Image metadata (EXIF data, GPS coordinates, camera information)
• File names or folder structures
• Any visual content you process

All image processing — including compression, conversion, resizing, cropping, and collage creation — happens entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript and the HTML5 Canvas API. Your files are never transmitted to our servers or any third-party servers for processing.

Information We Do Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to operate and improve our service:

• Usage analytics: We use Google Analytics 4 (with cookie consent) to understand how visitors interact with our website. This includes page views, session duration, and general traffic patterns. No personal images or file data is included in these analytics.
• Cookie consent preference: We store your cookie consent choice in your browser's local storage so we don't ask you repeatedly.
• Server logs: Our web hosting provider may automatically collect standard server logs including your IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamp. These logs are used for security and troubleshooting purposes and are automatically deleted after 30 days.

Cookie Usage

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: Required for the website to function properly, including remembering your cookie consent preference.
• Analytics cookies: With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous usage statistics that help us understand which tools are most popular and how we can improve the user experience.
• Advertising cookies: With your consent, Google AdSense may use cookies to personalize advertisements displayed on our website. These cookies allow Google and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the cookie banner at the bottom of the page or by clearing your browser's local storage for this domain. You can also disable cookies entirely through your browser settings, though some features may not function as expected.

Advertising and Third-Party Services

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other sites on the Internet.

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 personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by using the Digital Advertising Alliance's opt-out page.

We do not share your personal information with advertisers. All ad personalization is handled by Google's own systems based on cookies and browsing patterns, not on any data we provide.

Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures to protect any information we do collect. Our website uses HTTPS encryption for all data transmission between your browser and our servers. However, since our image processing tools do not transmit your files to our servers, the most sensitive data — your images — never traverses the network at all.

No method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can remove such information from our records.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including:

• The right to access the personal information we hold about you
• The right to request correction of inaccurate information
• The right to request deletion of your personal information
• The right to object to or restrict certain processing activities
• The right to data portability

Since we collect very minimal personal data, most of these rights can be exercised simply by clearing your browser cookies and local storage for our domain. For any additional requests, please contact us through our contact page.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or service features. We will post any changes on this page and update the "Last updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Significant changes will be communicated through a notice on our website or, where appropriate, via email if you have provided contact information.

Contact Us

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us through our contact page. We are committed to resolving any privacy concerns promptly and transparently.
