Privacy Policy

Privacy-First Commitment

Information Collected

Information Not Collected

• 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 That May Be Collected

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

How Information Is Used

Any information collected is used solely to:

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

Cookies and Local Storage

I aim to minimize the use of cookies and local storage. The 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 the website (anonymous data only)

I 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

Chrome Extension

The Chrome extension does not collect, store, or transmit images, uploaded files, or personal data. The extension provides quick links and right-click shortcuts that open Photo Resizer in KB tools in your browser.

The extension uses Chrome's contextMenus permission only to show shortcut options such as resize image in KB or resize signature from the browser context menu. It does not read page content, track browsing activity, or send image data to my server.

Advertising

Photo Resizer in KB does not currently display third-party advertisements. If advertising is added in the future, this policy will be updated before those services are enabled.

Analytics Services

I 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 improve the Service.

Third-Party Script Policy

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

Data Security

I use appropriate security measures to protect information collected through the Service. Since your images are processed entirely in your browser and never transmitted to my server, they remain on your device. The website uses HTTPS encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and the site.

Data Retention

Since I do not collect or store your images, there is no image data to retain. Analytics data 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.

Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

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

International Users

The website is hosted and operated from servers that may be located in various countries. By using the Service, you acknowledge that any information collected may be processed in countries other than your own. I aim to ensure that data processing complies with applicable privacy laws and regulations.

Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. I do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe information from a child under 13 has been collected, please contact me immediately, and I will take steps to remove such information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. Material changes will be reflected by posting the updated policy on this page with a new "Last Updated" date. You are encouraged to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how your privacy is protected.

Legal Compliance

This Privacy Policy is designed to comply with applicable privacy laws and regulations, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other relevant data protection laws. I am committed to protecting your privacy rights regardless of your location.
