Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Overview

Welcome to TinyImagefy ("we", "our", or "us"), accessible at https://tinyimagefy.com. We are committed to protecting your personal privacy and providing transparent information regarding our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and how we safeguard your personal data in full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and Google AdSense publisher requirements.

2. 100% Client-Side In-Browser Processing (Zero File Uploads)

The foundational principle of TinyImagefy is local device processing:

• No Cloud Storage: When you drag, drop, or select photos, images, PDFs, or documents into any TinyImagefy tool, the binary data remains strictly inside your local device's browser memory (RAM).
• No Remote Processing: All compression algorithms (MozJPEG, Canvas 2D context, OptiPNG, WebP/AVIF encoders) run locally via client-side JavaScript and compiled WebAssembly binaries.
• No File Logging: We do not log, retain, preview, or transmit any file content, image pixel data, or EXIF metadata to external storage buckets or third-party servers.

3. Information We Collect Automatically (Log Files & Telemetry)

Like almost all websites, TinyImagefy automatically collects standard technical log details when you access our website. This anonymous information is used strictly for server diagnostics, security monitoring, and uptime maintenance:

• Internet Protocol (IP) addresses (anonymized for analytics).
• Browser type, version, and rendering engine.
• Operating system and device platform (e.g. Windows, macOS, iOS, Android).
• Referring / exit pages and timestamp logs.
• Aggregated anonymous interaction data (e.g. tool load times and error codes).

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to enhance site functionality and remember user preferences. TinyImagefy uses cookies for:

• Essential & Functional Preferences: Storing your preferred theme mode (Dark Mode or Light Mode) in your browser's localStorage.
• Analytics Cookies: Aggregated measurement of website visitor traffic and performance via Google Analytics 4 (with IP anonymization enabled).
• Advertising Cookies: Third-party advertising cookies served by Google AdSense and certified ad partners to deliver relevant, non-intrusive advertisements.

5. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Disclosures

TinyImagefy is supported by advertising revenue, allowing us to keep our web tools 100% free and unlimited for all users globally. Google AdSense is our primary third-party advertising partner:

• Google AdSense Vendor Disclosure: Google is a third-party vendor that uses cookies to serve ads on TinyImagefy.
• DoubleClick DART Cookie: Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DART cookie) enables it and its advertising partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to TinyImagefy and other websites across the Internet.
• Personalized Advertising Opt-Out: Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting the official Google Ads Settings page.
• Third-Party Ad Networks: You can also opt out of participating third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting AboutAds.info, Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), or Your Online Choices (EU).

6. General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) Compliance (EEA & UK Users)

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you are entitled to specific data protection rights under the GDPR. TinyImagefy adheres to these lawful processing principles:

• Right of Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data held by us.
• Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
• Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You have the right to request that we erase your personal data under certain conditions.
• Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
• Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that we transfer collected telemetry data directly to another organization.
• Right to Object: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Team at support@tinyimagefy.com. We respond to all verified requests within 30 days.

7. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA) Disclosures

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents have specific rights regarding their personal information:

• Right to Know: The right to know what categories of personal information are collected and how they are used.
• Right to Delete: The right to request deletion of personal information collected from you.
• "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information": TinyImagefy DOES NOT SELL, rent, or lease your personal information, image data, or browsing records to third parties for monetary consideration.
• Right to Non-Discrimination: We will never discriminate against you, deny services, or degrade tool speeds for exercising any of your CCPA privacy rights.

8. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

Protecting the privacy of children is especially important. TinyImagefy does not knowingly collect, store, or solicit any personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). If you believe that a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at support@tinyimagefy.com, and we will promptly purge such records from our logs.

9. Data Security & Encryption Standards

We employ robust industry-standard security protocols to protect all data transmissions:

• HTTPS / TLS 1.3: 100% end-to-end encrypted connection between your browser and our servers.
• Strict Content Security Policy (CSP): Protection against cross-site scripting (XSS), code injection, and unauthorized external connections.
• Isolated Client Sandboxing: All WebAssembly processing occurs within the isolated browser runtime environment.

10. Third-Party External Links

Our website and blog articles may contain links to external websites, documentation hubs, or web standard bodies. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that site. Note that these external sites are not operated by TinyImagefy. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of any external website you visit.

11. Updates to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect new features, updated regulatory requirements, or improved security practices. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page with an updated "Last Updated" revision date at the top.
