Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 1, 2026

Our Privacy Commitment

At ImageCompressor, your privacy is our top priority. We have designed our image compression tool with a zero-upload architecture — meaning your images never leave your device. This Privacy Policy explains what little data we do collect and how we use it.

1. Image Processing — 100% Client-Side

Your images are never uploaded to any server. All image compression, format conversion, and processing happens entirely within your web browser using:

• The HTML5 Canvas API for image manipulation
• Web Workers for background processing
• The FileReader and Blob APIs for handling local file data

We have no ability to view, access, store, or share your images. They remain on your device at all times. You can verify this by disconnecting your internet after the page loads — the tool will continue to work perfectly.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal, anonymized data:

• Usage analytics (via Google Analytics): Page views, feature usage, browser type, and approximate geographic region. No personally identifiable information is collected.
• Advertising data (via Google AdSense): Ad impressions and clicks. Google may use cookies to serve relevant ads. See our Cookie Policy for details.
• Theme preference: Your dark/light mode preference is saved locally in your browser's localStorage and never transmitted.

3. Cookies

We use cookies for:

• Essential cookies: Remembering your theme preference (stored locally, not transmitted).
• Analytics cookies: Google Analytics cookies for measuring site usage.
• Advertising cookies: Google AdSense cookies for serving relevant ads.

You can reject non-essential cookies via our cookie consent banner. See our Cookie Policy for complete information.

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Google AdSense: Displays advertisements. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy
• Google Analytics: Provides anonymized usage statistics.

5. Data Security

Since your images never leave your device, there is no risk of image data breaches. Our site is served exclusively over HTTPS to ensure a secure connection.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California, etc.), you have rights regarding your personal data. Since we collect minimal data and process images locally, exercising these rights is straightforward:

• You can reject cookies at any time via our consent banner.
• You can clear your browser's localStorage to remove saved preferences.
• For Google Analytics opt-out, you can use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

7. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
