Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 4, 2025
Last Updated: October 4, 2025

At Photo Resizer in KB ("we," "our," or "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we handle your information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection, use, and protection when you use our website at photoresizerinkb.com (the "Service").

Our Privacy-First Commitment

Your images never leave your device. Photo Resizer in KB processes all images locally in your web browser using client-side JavaScript and modern web APIs. We do not upload, store, transmit, or have access to your images in any way. All image processing, resizing, and compression happens entirely on your device, ensuring complete privacy and security of your files.

Information We Collect

Information We Do NOT Collect

• Your images, photos, or any uploaded files
• Personal identification information (unless voluntarily provided through contact forms)
• Browsing history or behavior tracking across other websites
• Location data or device-specific information beyond standard web analytics

Information We May Collect

• Usage Analytics: Basic website analytics such as page views, session duration, and general geographic location (country/region level) to improve our service
• Technical Information: Browser type, device type, and operating system for compatibility and optimization purposes
• Contact Information: If you voluntarily contact us through our contact form or email, we may retain your message and email address to respond to your inquiry

How We Use Your Information

Any information we collect is used solely to:

• Improve the functionality and user experience of our website
• Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
• Monitor and analyze usage patterns to optimize our service
• Ensure the security and proper functioning of our website

Cookies and Local Storage

We aim to minimize the use of cookies and local storage. Our website may use:

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for basic website functionality and security
• Preference Cookies: To remember your site preferences and settings (stored locally in your browser)
• Analytics Cookies: To understand how visitors use our website (anonymous data only)

We do not use cookies to track personal content, store your images, or monitor your behavior across other websites. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect some website functionality.

Third-Party Services and Advertising

Google AdSense

We may use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. When AdSense is enabled:

• Google may set cookies and collect usage data to provide personalized advertisements
• Ad targeting is based on your interests and browsing patterns, not on your images or files processed through our tool
• You can learn more about Google's data practices in Google's Privacy Policy
• You can manage your ad preferences and opt-out of personalized advertising through Google Ad Settings

Analytics Services

We may use Google Analytics or similar services to understand website usage patterns. These services collect anonymous data about page views, user interactions, and general demographic information to help us improve our service.

Third-Party Script Policy

We keep third-party scripts to an absolute minimum and will always document any external services we use in this policy. Important: We never send your image data to any third-party services or external servers.

Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect any information we collect. Since your images are processed entirely in your browser and never transmitted to our servers, they remain completely secure on your device. Our website uses HTTPS encryption to protect any data transmitted between your browser and our servers.

Data Retention

Since we don't collect or store your images, there is no image data to retain. Any analytics data we collect is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy, typically no longer than 26 months. Contact form inquiries are retained only as long as needed to respond to your request.

You have the right to:

• Use our service without providing any personal information
• Disable cookies and JavaScript (though this may limit functionality)
• Contact us to request information about any data we may have collected about you
• Request deletion of any personal information we may have collected
• Opt-out of personalized advertising through your browser settings or ad preference centers

International Users

Our website is hosted and operated from servers that may be located in various countries. By using our service, you acknowledge that any information collected may be processed in countries other than your own. We ensure that any data processing complies with applicable privacy laws and regulations.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us immediately, and we will take steps to remove such information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy
