Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how information may be handled when you visit and use ImagesTool, including its image compressor, image converter, blog, guides, and related pages.

We aim to keep the collection of personal information limited to what is reasonably necessary for operating, maintaining, securing, and improving the website.

2. Information You Provide

ImagesTool does not require you to create an account simply to use the core image compression or conversion tools.

If you voluntarily contact the website owner through an available contact method, the information you provide may be used to understand and respond to your request. This may include your name, email address, message, or other information you choose to provide.

3. Images and Files You Process

The core image tools are designed to process selected images in your browser. When local processing is used, the selected image data is handled by your browser on your device and is not intentionally transmitted to an ImagesTool server as part of the normal compression or conversion operation.

Because browser behavior can be affected by extensions, network tools, security software, cached resources, or future changes to the website, users should not assume that any environment is completely risk-free.

We do not claim ownership of your images. You remain responsible for the files you choose to process and for keeping appropriate backups of important originals.

4. Technical and Usage Information

When you visit a website, standard technical information may be made available by your browser, hosting provider, security systems, or other infrastructure. Depending on the hosting and configuration in use, this can include information such as IP address, browser type, operating system, device characteristics, requested pages, approximate timestamps, and error information.

Such information may be used for basic operation, security, diagnostics, abuse prevention, performance monitoring, and maintaining the reliability of the website.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

ImagesTool may use browser storage mechanisms such as local storage to remember preferences, for example a light or dark theme selection. This information is stored by your browser on your device.

Browser storage can be cleared through your browser settings. Clearing it may reset saved preferences.

6. Analytics and Third-Party Services

If analytics, hosting, security, content-delivery, advertising, or other third-party services are enabled on the website, those providers may process technical information according to their own policies and the configuration of the service.

Third-party services may use cookies, similar technologies, or server logs. Their practices are governed by their own privacy documentation rather than this Privacy Policy.

7. Third-Party Links

ImagesTool may link to external websites or services, including resources referenced in blog articles or guides. Once you leave ImagesTool, the external service's privacy practices apply.

We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party website before providing personal information or uploading content there.

8. How Information May Be Used

Information that is legitimately available to ImagesTool may be used for purposes such as:

• Operating and maintaining the website.
• Responding to support, feedback, or other voluntary inquiries.
• Detecting abuse, security threats, and technical problems.
• Understanding general website performance and usage.
• Improving features, usability, reliability, and documentation.
• Complying with applicable legal obligations.

9. Data Retention

Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was obtained, to maintain business and security records, to resolve disputes, or to comply with applicable legal obligations.

Because the core image workflow is intended to operate locally in the browser, ImagesTool does not ordinarily need to maintain a server-side copy of the image files selected for local processing.

10. Data Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures may be used to protect information handled by the website. However, no website, browser, network, or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You should avoid entering unnecessary sensitive personal information into public forms and should maintain backups of important files.

11. Children's Privacy

ImagesTool is a general-purpose website and is not specifically directed toward children. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children.

If you believe a child has provided personal information through the website, please use the available contact method so the issue can be reviewed.

12. Your Choices

You can choose not to provide optional personal information. You can also control cookies and browser storage through your browser settings, although disabling certain technologies may affect preferences or website functionality.

For information submitted voluntarily through a contact method, you may request clarification about how that information is being handled, subject to applicable law and reasonable verification requirements.

13. International Access

ImagesTool may be accessible from different countries. Depending on the hosting, infrastructure, and third-party services used by the website, technical information may be processed in locations outside your country.

Where applicable, processing will be subject to relevant legal requirements and contractual or technical safeguards used by the responsible service providers.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when website functionality, data practices, legal requirements, or third-party services change. The latest version will be published on this page with an updated effective date where appropriate.

15. Contact

If you have a privacy-related question or request, please use the contact method made available on the ImagesTool website. Include sufficient details for the request to be understood and handled appropriately.

16. Effective Date

Effective date: September 7, 2026
