At Image Resizer in KB (accessible from https://imageresizerinkb.com), one of our primary priorities is the extreme privacy and absolute data security of our global visitors. This extensive Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that is collected, recorded, and strictly not collected by Image Resizer in KB, and exactly how we utilize it to provide a seamless, secure image processing experience.
If you have additional questions or require more detailed information regarding our Privacy Policy or data handling architecture, do not hesitate to contact us. This Privacy Policy applies only to our online activities and is valid for visitors to our website with regards to the information that they shared and/or collect in Image Resizer in KB. This policy is not applicable to any information collected offline or via channels other than this website.
1. The Core Guarantee: 100% Client-Side Processing
The most critical and fundamental aspect of our service architecture is our commitment to your absolute digital privacy. Unlike traditional cloud-based image editors, we strictly DO NOT upload, transfer, process, or store your personal photographs, documents, or image files on any external servers, databases, or cloud environments.
Our application is engineered using advanced HTML5 Canvas, WebAssembly, and Next.js client-side technologies. This means that when you select an image to resize, compress, or crop, the entire mathematical process occurs locally within the physical memory (RAM) of your own device's web browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Safari, Firefox).
- Zero Uploads: Your images never traverse the internet. No server intercepts your data.
- Instant Destruction: Because the processing happens in your browser's temporary memory, the moment you close the tab or refresh the page, all image data is instantly and permanently destroyed.
- Absolute Confidentiality: You can safely process highly sensitive materials, including government ID cards, passport photographs, financial documents, and personal signatures, with the absolute mathematical certainty that no third party, including us, has access to them.
2. Information We Collect (And Why We Collect It)
While we never touch your image files, we do collect standard, non-personally identifying information necessary for the functioning, administration, and optimization of a modern web application. The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information.
Automatically Collected Log Data:
Image Resizer in KB follows a standard procedure of utilizing server log files. These files log visitors when they access websites. All hosting companies perform this as a standard component of hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files includes:
- Internet Protocol (IP) addresses.
- Browser types and versions (e.g., Chrome 120 on Windows 11).
- Internet Service Providers (ISP).
- Date and time stamps of visits.
- Referring and exit pages (which site you came from and where you went).
- The number of clicks and interactions with specific UI elements (e.g., which KB target sizes are most popular).
Crucially, these logs are entirely anonymized and are strictly not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The sole purpose of this data is for analyzing global traffic trends, administering the site, tracking user movement across the application, and gathering broad demographic information to improve our server deployment locations.
3. Local Storage and Browser Cache
To enhance your user experience, our application may utilize your browser's Local Storage or Session Storage APIs. For example, if you frequently resize images to "50KB" or prefer the "Dark Mode" UI theme, we may save a small text string in your browser to remember these preferences for your next visit. This data remains on your local hard drive and is never transmitted to our backend. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's history and cache.
4. Cookies and Web Beacons
Like any other professional website, Image Resizer in KB uses "cookies." These cookies are small text files placed on your device to store information including visitors' preferences, and the specific pages on the website that the visitor accessed or interacted with. The information is utilized to optimize the users' experience by dynamically customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser types and other analytical information.
5. Google AdSense and DoubleClick DART Cookie
To keep our image resizing tools 100% free for users globally, we monetize the platform through display advertising. Google is one of the primary third-party advertisement vendors on our site. Google uses specialized cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve relevant advertisements to our site visitors based upon their visit to our website and other websites across the internet.
However, visitors may choose to decline or opt-out of the use of DART cookies by visiting the Google ad and content network Privacy Policy at the following URL: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
6. Third-Party Privacy Policies and Advertisers
Image Resizer in KB's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are used in their respective advertisements and links that appear on our platform. These technologies are sent directly to your browser, automatically receiving your IP address in the process. They use these technologies to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and/or to personalize the advertising content that you see on websites that you visit.
Note: Image Resizer in KB has no access to or control over these cookies that are used by third-party advertisers. We advise you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information, including their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options.
7. CCPA Privacy Rights (Do Not Sell My Personal Information)
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California consumers have specific rights regarding their personal data. Although we do not collect personal identities or process user files on our servers, we uphold these rights globally:
- Right to Know: You have the right to request that a business that collects a consumer's personal data disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data that a business has collected about consumers.
- Right to Delete: You have the right to request that a business delete any personal data about the consumer that a business has collected.
- Right to Opt-Out: You have the right to request that a business that sells a consumer's personal data, not sell the consumer's personal data.
If you make a request regarding these rights, we have one month to respond to you. Because we operate a strict "Zero Upload" client-side application, we fundamentally do not possess any of your image data or personal identity profiles to sell or delete.
8. GDPR Data Protection Rights (European Users)
We want to ensure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Every European user is entitled to the following:
- The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
- The right to rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
- The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
- The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
- The right to object to processing: You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
- The right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.
9. Children's Information (COPPA Compliance)
Another critical part of our priority is adding robust protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity.
Image Resizer in KB does not knowingly collect any Personally Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you believe that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately, and we will apply our best efforts to promptly locate and remove such information from our analytical records.
10. Data Security Protocols
We employ strict, modern security measures to protect the integrity of our platform. Our website forces modern HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) encryption. This ensures that any interaction between your browser and our web server (such as loading the initial application scripts or CSS) is protected via SSL/TLS encryption, preventing Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks or data interception.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect technological advancements, new features (such as bulk image processing), or changes in international internet law. Thus, we advise you to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this exact page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted.
12. Consent
By continuing to use our website, tools, and services, you hereby explicitly consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its Terms and Conditions. You acknowledge that you understand that your images are processed locally on your hardware and that standard web analytics and advertising cookies are utilized to sustain our free platform.
