Resize Image ("us", "we", or "our") operates the https://resizeimg.in website (hereinafter referred to as the "Service"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.
By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect (and What We Don't)
Our core philosophy is to minimize data collection, especially concerning the images you process.
1.1. Images You Process
We do not collect, upload, store, or transmit the images you process using Resize Image tools. All image processing (compression, resizing, conversion) happens directly within your web browser on your local device (client-side processing). Your images never leave your computer to be processed by our servers.
1.2. Personal Data You Provide Voluntarily
If you choose to contact us (e.g., via our contact form or by direct email), you may provide us with certain personally identifiable information, such as:
- Your name
- Your email address
- The content of your message, including any information you choose to share.
1.3. Usage Data (Analytics)
We may collect information on how the Service is accessed and used ("Usage Data"). This Usage Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol address (e.g., IP address, which may be anonymized or truncated), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers, and other diagnostic data.
This data is typically collected through third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics - **IF YOU USE IT, SPECIFY IT AND LINK TO THEIR PRIVACY POLICY**) to help us understand how our Service is used and to improve it. We aim to configure such services to respect user privacy (e.g., by enabling IP anonymization where available).
2. How We Use Information
Resize Image uses the collected data for various purposes:
- To provide and maintain our Service: Ensuring the tools function correctly.
- To improve our Service: Understanding usage patterns helps us enhance features and user experience.
- To respond to your inquiries: If you contact us, we use your information to communicate with you.
- To provide customer support.
- To gather analysis or valuable information so that we can improve our Service.
- To monitor the usage of our Service.
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues.
3. Client-Side Processing: Your Images Stay With You
A cornerstone of Resize Image's commitment to privacy is our use of client-side processing for all image manipulation tasks. This means:
- When you select an image for compression, resizing, or conversion, that image is processed by JavaScript code running directly in your web browser.
- Your image files are not uploaded to our servers or any third-party servers for processing.
- The original image and the processed image remain on your device unless you explicitly choose to download the processed version.
This approach significantly enhances your privacy and security as your sensitive image data is never transmitted over the internet to us.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information.
Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a website and stored on your device. Other tracking technologies are also used such as beacons, tags, and scripts to collect and track information and to improve and analyze our Service.
You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.
Examples of Cookies we may use:
- Session Cookies: We may use Session Cookies to operate our Service.
- Preference Cookies: We may use Preference Cookies to remember your preferences and various settings. (e.g., if you set a default quality).
- Analytics Cookies: Used by third-party analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect Usage Data.
- Advertising Cookies: Used by third-party advertising providers (e.g., Google AdSense) to serve relevant ads.
[IMPORTANT: If you use Google Analytics, AdSense, or similar, you MUST disclose this clearly and link to their privacy policies, and explain how users can opt-out, e.g., via browser settings or specific opt-out tools provided by these third parties.]
5. Third-Party Services
Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
5.1. Advertising (e.g., Google AdSense)
We may use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our Service. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number, but including your browsing history on our site and other sites) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
For example, Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to your website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to your users based on their visit to your sites and/or other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Ads Settings.
[Verify and update this section based on ALL third-party services you use, including analytics, form backends, CDNs if they collect data, etc.]
6. Data Sharing and Disclosure
As your images are processed client-side and not uploaded to our servers, we do not share or disclose your image data.
We may disclose your Personal Data (e.g., information provided via contact form, Usage Data) in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
- To comply with a legal obligation.
- To protect and defend the rights or property of Resize Image.
- To prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service.
- To protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public.
- To protect against legal liability.
We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service ("Service Providers"), provide the Service on our behalf, perform Service-related services, or assist us in analyzing how our Service is used (e.g., analytics providers, hosting providers if they have access logs, email service providers for contact form submissions). These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
7. Data Security
The security of your data is important to us. While your image files are not transmitted to us, we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect any Personal Data you might provide (e.g., through contact forms) or that is collected as Usage Data. However, remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
8. Children's Privacy
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13 (or a higher age if stipulated by local law, e.g., 16 in some GDPR contexts) ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from Children. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from Children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our systems.
[CONSULT LEGAL ADVICE: This age limit and the requirements vary by jurisdiction (e.g., COPPA in the US, GDPR in Europe).]
9. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on your location and applicable laws (such as GDPR for EU residents or CCPA for California residents), you may have certain data protection rights. These may include the right to access, update, or delete the information we have on you, the right of rectification, the right to object, the right of restriction, the right to data portability, and the right to withdraw consent.
If you wish to exercise any of these rights regarding any personal information we might hold (primarily from contact forms or analytics, as images are not stored by us), please contact us.
[CRITICAL: This section needs to be carefully tailored by a legal expert to comply with GDPR, CCPA, and other relevant data protection laws based on your user base. Generic statements are insufficient. You may need to detail specific rights and how users can exercise them.]
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our 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 "Effective Date" at the top of this Privacy Policy.
You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
