1. Introduction

Welcome to PhotoResizer.in ("we", "our", or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains our unique "client-side-only" approach to image processing and what minimal data we do collect to keep the site operational.

By accessing or using our free online image resizing tools, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

2. How We Process Your Images (Client-Side Architecture)

Unlike most online tools, PhotoResizer.in does not rely on backend servers to process your images.

Local Processing: We utilize modern HTML5 Canvas and browser-side JavaScript to crop, compress, and convert your photos.
No Cloud Uploads: When you select an image on our website, it is processed directly by the CPU/RAM on your local machine (phone or computer).
Absolute Security: Because the file transfer never crosses the internet, it is mathematically impossible for us, hackers, or third parties to intercept your sensitive documents.

3. What Data Do We Collect?

While we absolutely do not collect or see your images, we do capture basic, anonymized analytics to improve our website's performance and fix bugs.

A. Analytics Data

We use tools like Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use our site. This data includes:

General location (Country/City level)
Device type (Mobile, Desktop, Tablet)
Browser type (Chrome, Safari, Firefox)
Pages visited and tools used
Anonymous session recordings (to identify UI bottlenecks)

B. Cookies

We use minimal essential cookies to save your site preferences (such as Light/Dark mode) and standard analytics cookies to track basic traffic metrics. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time without affecting the core functionality of the image resizer.

4. Third-Party Services

We utilize the following third-party infrastructure:

Vercel: Our website is hosted on Vercel. They may log standard technical requesting data (IP addresses) for security and anti-DDoS purposes.
Google Analytics: For aggregate traffic measurement.
Microsoft Clarity: For behavioral analytics and heatmaps. All text inputs and personal data are masked by default.

5. GDPR & CCPA Compliance

Because we do not collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or host user-generated content, we inherently comply with major privacy frameworks including GDPR (Europe) and CCPA (California). If you wish to opt-out of our aggregate analytics tracking, we recommend using browser extensions like uBlock Origin or the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this 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" at the top.
