Your privacy is our top priority
Last Updated: December 2024
Welcome to ImageConvert ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information and image files remain secure. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data when you use our image conversion services.
Unlike traditional online converters, ImageConvert operates entirely within your web browser. This fundamental design choice means that your images and personal data never leave your device, providing you with unparalleled privacy and security.
We want to be absolutely clear about our approach to privacy:
To understand our privacy practices, it's important to understand how our technology works:
Client-Side Processing: When you select an image for conversion, the file is loaded into your browser's memory using JavaScript. The conversion process uses HTML5 Canvas API and other modern web technologies to transform the image format entirely within your browser. The converted file is then made available for download directly from your browser's memory.
No Server Communication: After the initial page load, ImageConvert does not communicate with any servers for the conversion process. Your images never traverse the internet, never pass through our infrastructure, and never exist anywhere except on your device.
We collect minimal, non-personal information to operate and improve our service:
Technical Information: We use standard web analytics to understand how visitors use our site, including:
This information is collected through standard web server logs and analytics tools. It is aggregated and anonymized, meaning we cannot identify individual users.
Cookies and Local Storage: We use minimal cookies and browser local storage for:
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some site features may not function properly.
We want to be explicit about what we don't collect:
The limited information we do collect is used solely for:
Service Operation: Ensuring ImageConvert functions properly and remains accessible to all users.
Service Improvement: Understanding how users interact with our site helps us identify areas for improvement, prioritize new features, and fix bugs.
Security: Monitoring for suspicious activity, preventing abuse, and protecting our infrastructure from attacks.
Analytics: Aggregated, anonymous usage statistics help us understand trends and make informed decisions about development priorities.
ImageConvert may use third-party services for specific purposes:
Analytics: We may use services like Google Analytics to understand site usage. These services may use cookies and collect anonymized data. You can opt out of Google Analytics using browser extensions or your cookie settings.
Content Delivery Network (CDN): We use CDNs to deliver static assets (fonts, icons) quickly and reliably. These services may log basic technical information like IP addresses for security and performance purposes.
Hosting: Our website is hosted on secure servers. The hosting provider may log basic server access information for security and maintenance purposes.
Important: These third-party services never have access to your images or conversion activities because all processing happens locally in your browser.
While we don't collect or store your images, we take security seriously:
HTTPS Encryption: Our website uses HTTPS encryption to protect communication between your browser and our servers when loading the site.
Secure Hosting: Our website is hosted on secure, reputable infrastructure with regular security updates and monitoring.
No Data Retention: Since we don't collect your images or personal data, there's no sensitive data to retain or protect from breaches.
Browser Security: Your images remain protected by your browser's security sandbox. No other websites or applications can access the images you're converting.
Cookie Control: You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies or delete existing ones.
Analytics Opt-Out: You can opt out of analytics tracking using browser extensions like Google Analytics Opt-out or privacy-focused browsers.
Do Not Track: We respect Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals when technically feasible.
Data Deletion: Since we don't collect or store your images or personal information, there's no data to delete. Any preferences stored in your browser (like theme choice) can be cleared by clearing your browser's local storage.
ImageConvert does not knowingly collect information from children under 13 years of age. Our service is designed to be privacy-friendly for users of all ages because we don't collect personal information or images. If you're a parent or guardian and have concerns, please contact us.
ImageConvert is accessible worldwide. Regardless of where you're located, your images are processed locally in your browser. We comply with international privacy standards including:
Since we don't collect or transfer personal data or images, many regulatory requirements don't apply to our service. However, we've designed our practices to exceed privacy standards regardless of jurisdiction.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will:
We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of ImageConvert after changes indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
We believe in transparency. Our client-side code can be inspected in your browser's developer tools. You can verify that images are processed locally and not uploaded to any server. We encourage technically-minded users to review our code and provide feedback.
While our privacy-by-design approach means many data protection regulations don't apply (because we don't collect sensitive data), we maintain best practices including:
If you have questions, concerns, or suggestions regarding this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us:
We take privacy concerns seriously and will respond to all inquiries promptly.
To summarize our privacy approach in simple terms:
This privacy-first approach is fundamental to ImageConvert's design. We built this service specifically to eliminate privacy concerns associated with traditional online converters. Your trust is important to us, and we're committed to maintaining the highest privacy standards.
Privacy Guarantee: ImageConvert's client-side architecture ensures that your images are processed entirely in your browser. This isn't just a promise – it's technically impossible for us to access your images because they never reach our servers. Your privacy is protected by design, not just by policy.
