Privacy Policy

At FreePhotoEditors.com (hereinafter referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Website”), we are deeply committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of any information we may collect while you use our services. FreePhotoEditors.com is a free, browser-based image editing platform offering professional tools such as image compression, resizing, cropping, upscaling, background blurring, face blurring, merging, watermarking, meme creation, rotation, flipping, and format conversion. Our tools, including AI-powered features, are designed to provide fast, secure, and unlimited editing capabilities directly in your browser.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit our Website or use our image editing tools. By accessing or using FreePhotoEditors.com, you agree to the practices described in this Policy. If you do not agree, please refrain from using our services.

Introduction

FreePhotoEditors.com prioritizes total privacy for our users. Unlike many online photo editors that require uploading images to remote servers, all image processing on our Website occurs entirely on your device using advanced WebAssembly technology. This means your photos, images, and any uploaded files never leave your browser, are not uploaded to our servers, and are not stored, shared, or accessed by us.

We do not require user accounts, logins, or any personal information to use our tools. Our platform is 100% free, with no subscriptions, paywalls, or hidden fees, and supports unlimited batch processing for convenience.

This client-side processing approach ensures maximum privacy, speed, and security. We are fully compliant with major data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Information We Collect

Information About Uploaded Images

  • No Collection of Image Content: When you use our tools (e.g., to compress, resize, upscale, or apply AI effects like background blur), all processing happens locally on your device. We do not receive, store, view, or process your images on our servers.
  • No Storage or Retention: Images are temporarily loaded into your browser’s memory for editing and are discarded immediately after you download the results or close the tab. We have no access to your files at any time.

Personal Information

  • None Required: You can use all features anonymously without providing any personal data such as name, email, address, or payment information.
  • Voluntary Submissions: If you contact us via any future contact form (if implemented) or email for support, we may collect the information you provide, such as your email address or message content, solely to respond to your inquiry.

Automatically Collected Information

We may collect limited non-personal information about your visit to improve our Website:

Log Data

  • Like most websites, our servers automatically record standard log information, including:
    • Your IP address (anonymized where possible).
    • Browser type and version.
    • Operating system.
    • Referring page and exit page.
    • Date and time of visit.
    • Pages viewed and tools used (aggregated anonymously).
  • This data is used for analytics purposes only, to understand usage patterns, fix bugs, and enhance performance. It is not linked to any individual user or images.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

  • Essential Cookies: We may use minimal session cookies to maintain functionality during your visit (e.g., remembering tool preferences temporarily).
  • No Tracking Cookies: We do not use cookies for advertising, tracking across sites, or profiling users.
  • Analytics: If we use third-party analytics (e.g., Google Analytics or similar), data is anonymized. You can opt out via your browser settings.
  • You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality.

Device Information

  • We may detect device type (e.g., mobile vs. desktop) to optimize the responsive design, but no unique identifiers are collected.

How We Use Collected Information

  • To Provide and Improve Services: Log data helps us monitor site performance, detect errors, and ensure compatibility across devices.
  • Security and Fraud Prevention: To protect against abuse, such as excessive automated requests.
  • Aggregated Analytics: To understand popular tools (e.g., AI upscaling vs. compression) and prioritize developments. All analytics are anonymous and aggregated.
  • No Marketing or Sharing: We do not use your information for advertising, email marketing, or sell/share it with third parties.

Since images are processed client-side, we do not use any image data for training AI models, analytics, or any other purpose.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share, sell, rent, or disclose any personal information or image data, as we do not collect image content.

Exceptions (only for non-image log data):

  • Service Providers: Anonymized analytics may be processed by trusted third parties under strict confidentiality.
  • Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or government request.
  • Business Transfers: In the unlikely event of a merger or acquisition, anonymized data may be transferred.

Data Security

We employ industry-standard security measures:

  • HTTPS encryption for all connections.
  • Client-side processing to eliminate server risks.
  • Regular security audits.

However, no system is 100% secure; you are responsible for your device’s security.

Children’s Privacy

Our Website is not directed at children under 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect data from children. If discovered, we will delete it immediately. Parents should supervise children’s online activities.

International Data Transfers

As image processing is local, no data transfers occur. Log data may be processed in servers located in various countries, but always anonymized and compliant with applicable laws.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights under laws like GDPR, CCPA, or others:

  • Access, correct, or delete any personal data (though we collect minimal).
  • Object to processing.
  • Withdraw consent (where applicable).
  • Data portability.

To exercise rights, contact us at the details below. We respond within legal timeframes.

You can also:

  • Clear browser data to remove temporary files.
  • Use private browsing modes.

Third-Party Links

Our Website may contain links to external sites. We are not responsible for their privacy practices. Review their policies.
