Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 26, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how ImageToolsOnline (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects
information when you use https://imagetoolsonline.com (the “Website”).

Our goal is simple: provide fast, useful image tools without forcing you to create an account. Many tools are designed
to work directly in your browser, and we aim to collect as little personal data as possible.

1) Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

No account is required to use our tools. If you contact us (for example via a contact form or email),
you may provide information such as your name, email address, and message content. We use this information only to
respond to your request.

1.2 Files You Upload or Process

Our tools may allow you to upload or select images to process (resize, compress, convert, etc.). Depending on the tool:

• Browser-based processing: Your files are processed locally on your device, and we do not store the
  image files on our servers.
• Server-based processing (if enabled): In some cases, a tool may temporarily transmit files to our
  servers to perform processing. If this happens, files are processed and then deleted automatically within a short
  period, unless otherwise stated on that specific tool page.

We do not claim ownership of your files. You retain all rights to your content.

1.3 Usage & Device Information

Like most websites, we may collect limited technical information such as browser type, device type, operating system,
pages visited, and approximate location (city/country). This helps us improve performance, security, and user experience.

1.4 Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies (small text files stored on your device) to:

• Remember basic preferences
• Measure site performance and usage
• Prevent abuse and protect the Website

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some website features.

2) How We Use Information

We may use information we collect to:

• Operate and maintain the Website and tools
• Improve tool quality, speed, and user experience
• Monitor usage trends (analytics) and troubleshoot issues
• Detect and prevent spam, fraud, abuse, or security incidents
• Respond to messages or support requests
• Comply with legal obligations

3) Analytics & Advertising

3.1 Analytics

We may use privacy-friendly analytics to understand how users interact with the Website (for example: which tool pages
are used most, or how often downloads occur). These analytics are used to improve the Website.

3.2 Advertising (If Enabled)

We may display ads (including interest-based advertising) to support the Website. Advertising partners may use cookies
or similar technologies to show relevant ads. You can often control ad personalization using your browser settings and
your Google ad settings.

If you see ads on our Website, please note that third-party advertisers may collect information in accordance with their
own privacy policies.

4) File Retention

• Browser-based tools: We do not store your files.
• Server-based tools (if enabled): Files may be temporarily stored only as long as needed to complete
  processing and are deleted automatically within a short time unless stated otherwise on that tool page.

5) Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information in these cases:

• Service providers: Hosting, analytics, security, and performance providers who help us run the Website.
• Legal requirements: If required by law, regulation, or legal process.
• Protection: To protect our rights, users, or the security of the Website.
• Business transfer: If the Website is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale (users will be
  notified where required).

6) Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the Website and user data. However, no online service can guarantee 100% security.
Please use the Website at your own discretion and avoid uploading highly sensitive materials.

7) Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as:

• Accessing or requesting deletion of certain personal data
• Opting out of personalized ads (where applicable)
• Controlling cookies in your browser
