Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to ImageConvert's Privacy Policy. This document explains how we collect, use, protect, and handle your information when you use our image conversion services. At ImageConvert, we take your privacy seriously and are committed to transparency about our data practices.

By using ImageConvert, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to read this document carefully to understand how we handle your information. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Our Core Privacy Principle

ImageConvert operates on a fundamental principle: your images never leave your device. Unlike traditional online converters that upload your files to remote servers, our entire conversion process happens directly in your web browser using JavaScript and HTML5 Canvas API. This means:

• We never receive or store your images on our servers
• We have no access to the content of files you convert
• Your images remain completely private and under your control
• There's no risk of data breaches involving your converted files

Information We Collect

Information We DO NOT Collect

Let's start with what we don't collect, which is just as important:

• Your Images: We never receive, store, or have access to any images you convert using our service
• File Names: We don't collect or store the names of files you upload
• File Content: We never see what's in your images or have any record of what you've converted
• Personal Identification: We don't require accounts, so we don't collect names, addresses, or phone numbers

Information We DO Collect

Basic Analytics: We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how our service is used. This includes:

• Page views and which pages are most visited
• General geographic location (country/region level only)
• Browser type and device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• Referral sources (how you found our website)
• Time spent on site and basic navigation patterns

This information is collected in aggregate form and cannot be used to identify individual users. We use this data solely to improve our service and understand user preferences.

Cookies and Local Storage: We use minimal cookies and browser local storage for the following purposes:

• Remembering your theme preference (light or dark mode)
• Maintaining basic site functionality
• Anonymous analytics (if you haven't opted out)

These cookies do not track you across websites and contain no personally identifiable information.

Contact Form Information: If you contact us through our contact form, we collect:

• Your name and email address (as provided by you)
• The content of your message
• Date and time of your inquiry

This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is deleted after our correspondence ends, typically within 90 days.

How We Use Your Information

The limited information we collect is used exclusively for:

• Service Improvement: Understanding how users interact with our site helps us make better design and feature decisions
• Technical Maintenance: Identifying and fixing bugs or technical issues
• User Support: Responding to inquiries and providing assistance when needed
• Security: Detecting and preventing abuse or malicious activity

We do not use your information for advertising, marketing to third parties, or any purpose not directly related to providing and improving our service.

Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, trade, or rent your information to third parties. Period.

The only third parties that may receive limited, anonymized data are:

Analytics Providers: We may use privacy-focused analytics services to understand site usage. These services:

• Receive only anonymized, aggregate data
• Cannot identify individual users
• Are bound by strict privacy agreements
• Do not use the data for any other purpose

Hosting Providers: Our website is hosted by reputable providers who:

• Have access only to standard server logs
• Are contractually obligated to protect data
• Meet high security standards

Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, such as:

• Complying with a court order or legal process
• Protecting our rights or property
• Preventing fraud or abuse

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the limited information we collect:

• HTTPS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using SSL/TLS
• Secure Hosting: Our infrastructure is hosted on secure, regularly updated servers
• Access Controls: Only authorized personnel have access to any collected data
• Regular Audits: We regularly review our security practices and update them as needed

However, the best security measure is our core design: since we never receive your images, there's nothing to secure or breach. Your files stay on your device throughout the entire conversion process.

Your Rights and Choices

You have complete control over your interaction with ImageConvert:

Cookie Control: You can disable cookies in your browser settings. Note that this may affect some site functionality, like remembering your theme preference.

Analytics Opt-Out: You can opt out of analytics tracking by using browser extensions that block analytics scripts or by enabling Do Not Track in your browser.

Data Deletion: Since we don't store your images or create user accounts, there's minimal data to delete. If you've contacted us via email, you can request deletion of your contact information at any time.

Access to Information: You can request information about what data we have collected about you (which is typically none beyond basic analytics).

Children's Privacy

ImageConvert does not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age. Our service does not require age verification because we don't collect personal information. However, we recommend that children use our service under parental supervision.

International Users

ImageConvert is accessible worldwide. Since all image processing happens in your browser, your images never cross international borders or leave your device. Any analytics data we collect is processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy, regardless of your location.

Users in the European Union and other regions with data protection regulations can be assured that our minimal data collection and client-side processing approach inherently complies with privacy principles like data minimization and purpose limitation.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. When we make changes:

• We will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
• For significant changes, we may display a notice on our homepage
• Your continued use of ImageConvert after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.

Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, such as our social media profiles. This Privacy Policy applies only to ImageConvert. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other websites, and we encourage you to read their privacy policies before providing any information.
