Photo Optimize (referred to as "we", "us", or "the Website") is committed to protecting the privacy of its users (referred to as "you"). This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, protect, and disclose information when you use our services.
1. Information We Collect
Information collection is divided into two main categories, primarily based on the nature of our client-side processing tool:
a) No Collection of Personal Information from File Processing
Photo Optimize operates as a client-side tool. This means:
The images or files you use with our tool are never uploaded to our servers.
All image processing (compression, cropping, conversion, etc.) occurs entirely within your own device's web browser.
Consequently, we do not collect, store, or have access to any copies of your processed files. Your files remain 100% private.
b) Automatically Collected Information (Log Data and Usage Data)
When you visit our Website, your browser automatically sends certain information that we collect as "Log Data" or "Usage Data." This data typically includes:
Your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address.
Browser type and version.
The pages of our Website you visit.
The time and date of your visit.
The time spent on those pages.
Your device's operating system.
2. Cookies
Cookies are small data files stored on your browser. We use cookies to enhance the functionality of our Website and personalize your experience. We use:
Necessary Cookies: Essential for the basic operation of the site.
Performance/Analytics Cookies: We use third-party services like Google Analytics to understand how the Website is being used. These cookies help us improve site performance.
You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.
3. Third-Party Advertisements and Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements on Photo Optimize.
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads.
Google's use of DART cookies enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy.
4. Links to Other Sites
Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
5. Children's Privacy
Our Service is not directed to anyone under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 16. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us.
6. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the [Effective Date] section. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
