Privacy Policy

At ImageResizer.co.in, your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website and image processing tools. We believe in complete transparency and have designed our service with a privacy-first approach.

1. How Our Image Processing Works

This is the most important thing to understand about our service: all image processing happens 100% locally in your web browser. When you use any of our tools — whether you're resizing, compressing, cropping, or converting images — your images are processed using your device's own computing power via HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript APIs.

• No images are ever uploaded to our servers or any third-party server.
• No image data is transmitted over the internet at any point during processing.
• No image data is stored on our servers, in databases, or in cloud storage.
• Your images remain entirely on your device from start to finish.
• Once you close or refresh the browser tab, any image data held in temporary browser memory is released.

This means your photos, screenshots, and design files remain completely private. We literally never see them.

2. Information We Collect

While we do not collect any image data, we do collect limited, standard web analytics information to help us improve our service and keep the website running. This includes:

2.1 Automatically Collected Information

• Usage data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, click interactions, and referral sources.
• Device information: Browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, and device type (desktop, mobile, tablet).
• Network information: Approximate geographic location (country/region level only, not precise location), IP address (anonymized where possible).
• Performance data: Page load times and error logs to help us diagnose technical issues.

2.2 Information We Do NOT Collect

• Your images, photos, or any visual content you process.
• File names, file metadata, or EXIF data from your images.
• Personal names, email addresses, or account information (we have no user accounts).
• Payment or financial information (our service is completely free).

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies — small text files stored on your device — for the following purposes:

3.1 Essential Cookies

• Theme preference: We store your light/dark mode preference locally using localStorage so the site looks the way you want on return visits. This data never leaves your device.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymized usage data. This helps us understand which tools are most popular and where we should focus improvement efforts. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

3.3 Advertising Cookies

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our site. This is how we keep our tools free for everyone. Google AdSense may set cookies on your device to:

• Serve ads based on your interests and prior visits to this and other websites (personalized advertising).
• Limit the number of times you see a specific ad (frequency capping).
• Measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.
• Understand general audience demographics and interests.

Google's use of advertising cookies is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. You can control personalized advertising preferences through Google Ads Settings or opt out of personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

4. How We Use Information

The limited information we collect is used exclusively for the following purposes:

• Improving our service: Understanding which tools and features are most useful to our users.
• Website maintenance: Identifying and fixing bugs, errors, and performance issues.
• Content decisions: Deciding what new tools, features, or blog content to create.
• Advertising: Serving relevant ads via Google AdSense to keep the service free.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

• Google AdSense: For serving advertisements. Google Ad Technology Policies.
• Google Analytics: For understanding website usage patterns. Google Privacy Policy.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your information to any other third parties beyond those listed above.

6. Data Retention

Our data retention practices are minimal by design:

• Image data: We retain zero image data. Images exist only in your browser's temporary memory and are released when you close the tab.
• Analytics data: Retained according to Google Analytics' standard retention settings (typically 14 months), after which it is automatically deleted.
• Cookies: Advertising and analytics cookies expire according to the third-party provider's policies. You can clear cookies at any time through your browser settings.

7. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

We respect your data privacy rights regardless of where you are located. Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

For European Economic Area (EEA) Residents — GDPR

• Right of access: You can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification: You can request correction of inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure: You can request deletion of your personal data.
• Right to restrict processing: You can request we limit how we use your data.
• Right to data portability: You can request your data in a machine-readable format.
• Right to object: You can object to processing of your personal data.

For California Residents — CCPA

• Right to know: You can request details about the personal information we collect and how it's used.
• Right to delete: You can request deletion of personal information we have collected.
• Right to opt-out: You can opt out of the sale of personal information. Note: we do not sell personal information.
• Right to non-discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

8. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

ImageResizer.co.in is designed as a general-audience website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). Since our service does not require user accounts, registration, or any form of personal data entry, the risk of collecting children's data is minimal.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at [email protected], and we will take immediate steps to remove such information.

9. Data Security

We take appropriate measures to protect any information collected through our website. Our security practices include:

• Serving our website exclusively over HTTPS (encrypted connections).
• Processing all images locally in your browser, eliminating server-side data exposure risks.
• Regularly reviewing and updating our security practices.
• Using trusted, reputable third-party services with strong security track records.

However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of analytics data collected through third-party services.

10. International Data Transfers

Since we use Google services (Analytics and AdSense), some data may be processed in countries outside your own, including the United States. Google maintains appropriate safeguards for international data transfers in compliance with applicable data protection laws.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy.
