Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 11, 2024
1. Introduction
Welcome to PixOptimizr ("we," "our," "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle data. This Privacy Policy explains our principles and practices regarding data when you use our website and its associated image editing tools (the "Services").
Our core privacy promise is simple: Your images are your own. All image processing is performed directly in your browser on your device ("client-side"). Your files are never uploaded to our servers.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
We want to be explicit about the data we do not collect, access, or store:
- Personal Images and Files: Any images or files you upload to use our tools are not transmitted to, stored on, or processed by our servers.
- Image Data: We do not collect any metadata (like EXIF data) or content from your images.
- Personal Information for Tool Usage: You are not required to create an account, log in, or provide any personal information like your name or email address to use our core tools.
3. Information We Collect
To maintain and improve our Services, we collect a limited amount of non-personally identifiable information:
- Usage Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous, aggregated data about how users interact with our website. This includes information like which tools are most popular, the number of site visits, general geographic location (e.g., country), and the type of device used. This data helps us understand user needs and improve our Services.
4. Cookies and Third-Party Services
- Cookies: We use minimal cookies necessary for the functioning of our site and for our analytics and advertising partners. A cookie is a small file stored on your device.
- Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our site, which helps us keep our tools free. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
- Google Analytics: As mentioned, we use Google Analytics to understand website traffic. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to this site is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.
5. Data Security
Because we do not collect or store your images, the primary security benefit is that your files remain in your control, on your device. We implement standard security measures to protect the integrity of our website and the anonymous analytics data we collect.
6. Children's Privacy
Our Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
