Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 22, 2025

Privacy-First Approach: ImageToWPlace is designed with privacy in mind. All image processing happens locally in your browser - we never store or transmit your images to our servers.

Data Collection and Processing

Images and Content

  • Local Processing Only: All image uploads are processed entirely within your web browser using WebAssembly and JavaScript
  • No Server Storage: Your images are never uploaded to our servers or stored remotely
  • Temporary Browser Memory: Images exist only in your browser's temporary memory during the conversion process
  • User Control: You can clear all data by refreshing the page or closing your browser

Usage Analytics

  • Anonymous Metrics: We collect basic usage statistics like page views and conversion attempts (no personal data)
  • Performance Data: We monitor conversion times and error rates to improve the service
  • No Tracking: We do not use cookies for tracking or store personally identifiable information

Technical Information

Browser Data

  • LocalStorage: We may store user preferences (like color mode or last settings) locally in your browser
  • Session Data: Temporary data for the current session only, cleared when you close the tab
  • No Cross-Site Tracking: We do not track users across other websites

External Services

  • CDN Services: We use content delivery networks to serve static assets (CSS, JavaScript)
  • No Third-Party Analytics: We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or similar tracking services

Data Security

  • HTTPS Encryption: All connections to our website use SSL/TLS encryption
  • No Data Breach Risk: Since we don't store user images, there's no risk of image data breaches
  • Security Headers: Our website implements modern security headers and CSP policies

Your Rights

  • Data Control: You maintain full control over your images and data at all times
  • No Account Required: Our service works without creating accounts or providing personal information
  • Opt-Out: You can disable JavaScript to prevent any client-side processing (though this breaks functionality)

Cookies and Local Storage

  • Essential Cookies: We may use essential cookies for basic website functionality
  • Preference Storage: User settings may be stored locally to improve user experience
  • No Marketing Cookies: We do not use cookies for advertising or marketing purposes

Children's Privacy

Our service is designed for general audiences and does not specifically target children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

International Users

This service is operated from the United States. Since all processing happens locally in your browser, your images never leave your device regardless of your location.

Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was last revised. We encourage users to review this policy periodically.
