Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 10, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to our image compression service ("Service"). This comprehensive Privacy Policy governs how we collect, use, maintain, and disclose information from users of our online platform that allows you to compress JPG, PNG, WebP, and other image formats. We understand the importance of privacy when handling your visual content, and we're committed to transparency about our data practices for all image optimization processes.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Image Files

When you upload images for compression, we temporarily process these files to perform size reduction and quality optimization. The original and compressed versions remain on our servers only during active processing (typically less than 30 minutes). Our automated systems permanently delete all image data after: (a) successful compression and download, (b) 60 minutes of inactivity, or (c) session termination, whichever comes first.

2.2 Technical Metadata

We collect non-personal technical data including but not limited to: file formats processed, compression ratios achieved, browser type and version, device characteristics, operating system, referral URLs, and general geographic location (country/city level). This helps us optimize compression algorithms and improve service performance across different devices and connection speeds.

3. How We Use Information

The temporary processing of your images enables us to provide core compression functionality. Technical data helps us: (1) Maintain and improve our compression algorithms, (2) Troubleshoot performance issues, (3) Analyze usage patterns to enhance user experience, and (4) Develop new features for image optimization. We never use uploaded content for machine learning training or sell any processed data to third parties.

4. Data Storage & Security

4.1 Storage Locations

All image processing occurs in secure data centers located in [Country/Region]. We utilize content delivery networks to ensure fast processing times globally, but all temporary storage complies with our strict data retention policies. During active sessions, encrypted temporary files may be distributed across multiple servers for load balancing and redundancy.

4.2 Security Measures

We implement enterprise-grade security including: TLS 1.2+ encryption for all data transfers, regular security audits, restricted employee access, and automated vulnerability scanning. While we employ robust protections, we recommend against uploading highly sensitive or confidential images, as no internet transmission can be guaranteed 100% secure.

5. Third-Party Services

Our service integrates with trusted providers for specific functions:

  • Cloud Infrastructure: We use [Provider Names] for server hosting and content delivery
  • Analytics: Basic usage metrics are processed through [Tool Name] with all personal identifiers removed
  • Payment Processing: For premium features, transactions are handled by [Payment Processor] without exposing financial data to our systems

All third-party vendors undergo rigorous privacy reviews and are contractually bound to data protection standards equal to or exceeding our own.

6. User Rights & Choices

You maintain full control over your data:

  • Access: Request details about any non-automatically-deleted data we hold
  • Deletion: Manually purge your session data before automatic deletion occurs
  • Opt-Out: Disable non-essential cookies via our preference center
  • Restriction: Limit how certain technical data is processed

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@compressimage.run with "Data Request" in the subject line.

7. International Data Transfers

As a global service, your data may transit through servers in multiple jurisdictions. We ensure all transfers comply with applicable regulations including GDPR and CCPA through Standard Contractual Clauses and other approved mechanisms. Our primary data centers are located in [List Countries], with backup facilities in [List Secondary Locations].

8. Policy Updates

We may periodically update this policy to reflect: (1) Changes in laws/regulations, (2) New service features, or (3) Security improvements. Significant changes will be announced via our website for 30 days prior to taking effect. The "Last updated" date at the top indicates the current version. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

9. Legal Compliance

This Service complies with major privacy frameworks including:

  • General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
  • California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
  • Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA)

We cooperate with regulatory authorities and will notify affected users within 72 hours of any confirmed data breach that poses significant risk.
