Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We aim to minimize data collection. We do not require you to create an account to use our Site. The information we may collect includes:

• Uploaded Files: When you use our tools (e.g., Image Compressor, Favicon Generator), you may upload files. These files are processed solely for the purpose of providing the tool's functionality and are temporarily stored on our servers.
• Usage Data: We may use analytics tools (like Google Analytics) to collect non-personally identifiable information about your interaction with our Site. This can include your IP address (often anonymized), browser type, device type, operating system, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and referring websites. This helps us understand how users interact with our Site and improve it.
• Contact Information: If you contact us via our contact form, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, subject, and message, to respond to your inquiry.
• Cookies: We use essential cookies for basic site functionality and potentially analytics cookies (if using tools like Google Analytics) to gather usage data. See Section 5 for more details.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

We process your information based on the following legal grounds:

• Consent: When you upload files to use our tools or submit our contact form, you consent to us processing that data for the specified purpose. For non-essential cookies, we rely on your consent (where applicable law requires it).
• Legitimate Interest: We process usage data to maintain and improve our Site, ensure security, and understand user needs, which constitutes a legitimate interest. Responding to your inquiries is also a legitimate interest. Processing uploaded files is necessary to provide the service you requested.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• To Provide Services: To operate our tools, process your uploaded files, and deliver the results (e.g., compressed images, generated favicons).
• To Improve Our Site: To analyze usage data, identify trends, understand user behaviour, and enhance the functionality and user experience of our tools and Site.
• To Communicate: To respond to your inquiries submitted via the contact form.
• To Ensure Security: To monitor for and prevent fraudulent or malicious activity.

4. Sharing Your Data

We respect your privacy and do not sell your personal data or uploaded files. We may share information under the following limited circumstances:

• Analytics Providers: We may share anonymized or aggregated usage data with third-party analytics providers like Google Analytics to help us understand site traffic and usage patterns. You can learn more about how Google processes data in their Privacy Policy.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).

Your uploaded files are processed securely and are not shared with third parties, except as necessary for the technical operation of the service (e.g., cloud storage providers bound by confidentiality agreements during the short processing time).

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies (small text files stored on your device) and similar technologies. These may include:

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for the basic functioning of the Site.
• Analytics Cookies: Used by services like Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics.

By using the Site, you consent to the use of essential cookies. For non-essential cookies (like analytics), we rely on your consent where required by law, which may be managed through browser settings or a cookie consent banner. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, but please note that some parts of the Site may not function properly as a result.

6. User Rights

Depending on your location and applicable data protection laws (such as GDPR or CCPA), you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
• The right to request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• The right to request deletion of your personal data (subject to certain conditions).
• The right to object to or restrict processing of your personal data under certain circumstances.
• The right to data portability (where applicable).
• The right to withdraw consent (if processing is based on consent).
• The right to lodge a complaint with a relevant data protection authority.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details provided in Section 11.

7. Data Retention

We retain data only for as long as necessary:

• Uploaded Files: Files uploaded to our tools are automatically deleted from our servers shortly after processing is complete or after a short period of inactivity (typically within a few hours) to allow you time to download the results. We do not keep long-term archives of user uploads.
• Usage Data: Anonymized usage data collected via analytics tools is retained according to the policies of the respective providers (e.g., Google Analytics).
• Contact Form Submissions: Information submitted via the contact form may be retained as long as necessary to address your inquiry and for record-keeping purposes.

8. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we handle from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. This includes using HTTPS encryption for data transmission and secure practices for handling uploaded files during their temporary storage. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to other websites not operated by us. If you click on 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.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this 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 "Last Updated" date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes are effective when they are posted on this page.
