Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 1, 2025

Data Processing

Local Processing: All image processing occurs entirely within your browser. Your images never leave your device or get uploaded to our servers. This ensures complete privacy and security of your visual content.

Analytics Data Collection

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site. This service may collect information including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring website, pages visited, and time spent on our site. This data helps us improve the user experience. No personal images or file content is tracked.

Cookies and Tracking

Essential Cookies: We use cookies for analytics and site functionality. Google Analytics and AdSense may place cookies on your device to collect usage data and serve personalized advertisements.

Opt-Out Options: You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Third-Party Advertising

Google AdSense: We display advertisements through Google AdSense. Google and other third-party vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. These services collect data as described in Google's Privacy Policy.

International Users

GDPR Compliance: If you are located in the European Union, you have additional rights regarding your personal data. You may request access, correction, or deletion of your data by contacting us. Our lawful basis for processing is legitimate interest in operating our website.

California Privacy Rights: California residents have rights under the CCPA to know what personal information is collected and to request deletion of personal information.

Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information. Since image processing occurs locally in your browser, your visual content never travels over the internet to our servers.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of any significant changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated effective date.

Understanding Digital Privacy in Image Processing

Digital privacy in image processing has become increasingly important as visual content often contains sensitive information. Metadata embedded in images can reveal location data, camera settings, and even personal information about the photographer or subjects. Traditional online image processing services may retain, analyze, or potentially access this metadata along with the visual content itself.

Browser-based processing eliminates these concerns by ensuring all operations occur locally on your device. No image data, metadata, or processing information is transmitted to external servers. This approach is particularly valuable for professionals handling confidential client work, businesses processing proprietary visual content, or individuals concerned about personal photo privacy.

Data Protection Best Practices

While our service processes images locally, users should still follow general data protection best practices. Consider the sensitivity of images before processing, maintain secure backups of original files, and be aware of how processed images will be distributed or shared after scaling.

For business users, local processing helps maintain compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and industry-specific privacy requirements. By keeping image processing within your controlled environment, you maintain the data sovereignty required for regulated industries and sensitive business operations.

Technical Privacy Implementation

Our privacy-by-design architecture ensures that image data never enters network communications. All Canvas API operations, pixel manipulations, and file generation occur within the isolated context of your browser tab. When you close the browser or navigate away from the page, all image data is automatically cleared from memory with no trace remaining on external systems.

This technical approach contrasts sharply with cloud-based services that may store uploaded images temporarily or permanently, use content for algorithm training, or subject your visual content to third-party analysis tools. Local processing guarantees that your images remain exclusively under your control throughout the entire scaling workflow.
