Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

ImageTools ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Image Compressor tool at imagetools.imagetools.v2stack.com (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Service.

Our core principle: Your images never leave your browser. All compression happens client-side using your device's processing power. We don't upload, store, or transmit your images to any server.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Images and Files

We do not collect, store, or process your images on our servers. All image compression happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your device.

2.2 Analytics Data

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics service that:

• Does not use cookies
• Does not collect personal data
• Does not track users across websites
• Anonymizes all data (no IP addresses stored)
• Is fully GDPR and CCPA compliant

Analytics data includes: page views, referrer, device type, browser type, and country. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual users.

2.3 Counter Data

We maintain a simple counter in Supabase to track total tool usage. This counter:

• Only stores a single number (total usage count)
• Does not track individual users or sessions
• Does not store timestamps, IP addresses, or any identifying information
• Is used solely to display total usage statistics on the website

2.4 Information We Do NOT Collect

• No personal identification information (name, email, address, phone)
• No payment information (we don't process payments)
• No cookies or tracking identifiers
• No images or file contents
• No EXIF or metadata from your images

3. How We Use Information

The limited analytics data we collect is used solely for:

• Understanding overall usage patterns
• Improving website performance and user experience
• Identifying technical issues or errors
• Making informed decisions about feature development

4. Data Storage and Security

Analytics Data: Stored on Plausible Analytics servers in the European Union (GDPR-compliant hosting). Data is anonymized and aggregated.

Counter Data: Stored in Supabase (PostgreSQL database) with industry-standard security measures. Only contains aggregate usage counts.

Your Images: Never stored on any server. Processed entirely in your browser and never transmitted over the network.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Plausible Analytics: Privacy-focused web analytics (plausible.io)
• Supabase: Database hosting for usage counter (supabase.com)
• Vercel: Website hosting and deployment (vercel.com)

None of these services receive or process your images. They only handle anonymized analytics data or aggregate usage counts.

6. Your Rights (GDPR/CCPA)

Since we don't collect personal data, most data protection rights don't apply. However:

• You can browse our website anonymously without providing any personal information
• You can use browser privacy features (private browsing, ad blockers) without affecting functionality
• You can opt out of analytics by using privacy-focused browsers or extensions

7. Children's Privacy

Our Service is accessible to users of all ages. We don't knowingly collect personal data from children under 13, and our analytics don't distinguish users by age.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy occasionally.
