Privacy Policy

1. Zero-Upload Architecture (How Your Images Are Handled)

The fundamental premise of Free Image Reducer is local execution. When you drag and drop or upload an image into the tool, the image file is never uploaded to our servers or any third-party server.

All image decoding, quality calculations, binary search convergence, resolution scaling, and compression encoding occur completely inside your device's web browser using HTML5 Canvas and client-side Web Workers. Your files remain in your device's local memory and are discarded as soon as you close or refresh the page.

2. Technical Information We Collect

While your images never reach our servers, accessing any website on the internet requires basic technical communication between your browser and our web hosting infrastructure. Standard web server logs may automatically record:

• Internet Protocol (IP) address
• Browser type, language, and operating system version (user-agent)
• Date and time of your page request
• Referring web page or link
• Specific pages or assets requested on our domain (e.g. HTML files, style sheets, favicons)

These logs are processed solely for the legitimate operational interests of detecting server errors, preventing denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and maintaining the security and performance of our hosting infrastructure.

3. Local Storage & Cookies

Free Image Reducer does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party marketing identifiers.

We use your browser's native localStorage strictly for one functional purpose:

4. Analytics & Third-Party Trackers

Free Image Reducer does not run third-party behavioral analytics suites (such as Google Analytics, session recorders, or heatmaps). We do not profile your usage, build tracking graphs, or sell data to brokers or advertising networks.

5. Third-Party Services & CDNs

Our application is built as a static site and deployed on modern web hosting infrastructure. All typography, scripts, stylesheets, and icons are bundled directly from our domain without connecting to external font CDNs or external script providers.

6. Email Communications

If you contact us via email, we will retain your email address, name, and message content only for the purpose of answering your inquiry and providing support. We will never sell, rent, or use your contact details for unsolicited marketing.

7. Security

We enforce Transport Layer Security (HTTPS) across the entire domain to ensure all communication between your browser and our servers is encrypted in transit. Because your images are processed locally within your browser sandbox, they benefit from your device's built-in operating system and browser security controls.

8. Your Rights Under Privacy Regulations

Under privacy frameworks such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), individuals have rights to access, rectify, or delete their personal data.

Because Free Image Reducer does not require account creation, does not collect personal profiles, and never receives your images, we hold no personal image data to disclose, transfer, or delete. For any inquiries regarding technical server logs or email communications, you may contact us at any time.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our tool, architecture, or applicable legal standards. Any modifications will be posted directly to this page with an updated revision date.
