🙋‍♀️ Privacy FAQs

Do you really not store my images?

Absolutely not! Your images are processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript. They never leave your device, and we never see or store them. When you close the tab, all image data is immediately cleared from memory.

Can I use ImageTool.org offline?

While you need an internet connection to load our tools initially, the actual image processing happens locally on your device. This means your images never need to be uploaded, even when you're online.

How do you make money if everything is free?

We're passionate about providing free tools to everyone. Our costs are covered through ethical advertising and optional donations. We never sell user data because we don't collect it in the first place!

Is ImageTool.org GDPR compliant?

Yes! Since we don't collect or store personal data or images, GDPR compliance is built into our architecture. We only collect minimal, anonymous analytics data to improve our services.

What happens to my images if my browser crashes?

If your browser crashes or you accidentally close the tab, any image data is immediately lost. While this might be inconvenient, it's actually great for your privacy - there's no risk of your images being recovered by anyone else.

Can I request deletion of my data?

Since we don't store your images or personal information, there's nothing to delete! For the minimal analytics data we collect, you can contact us to request removal, though this data is already anonymized.

Do you share data with advertisers?

No. We only share anonymous, aggregated statistics with advertising partners. No personal information, images, or browsing behavior is shared with third parties.
