Privacy Policy

Introduction

ImgTweak ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website and image compression services.

By using ImgTweak, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information We Collect

1. Images and Files

We do NOT collect or store your images. When you upload images to ImgTweak, they are processed entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never touch our servers. They remain on your device at all times.

2. Analytics Data (via Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors interact with our website. Google Analytics collects:

• Pages you visit and features you use
• Time spent on the site
• Browser type and version
• Device information (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• Operating system
• Approximate geographic location (country/city level)
• Referral source (how you found our site)

3. Cookies

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect the data mentioned above. Specifically:

• _ga: Used to distinguish unique users (expires after 2 years)
• _ga_<container-id>: Used to persist session state (expires after 2 years)

These are first-party cookies, meaning they're set by our domain and not shared with third parties for advertising purposes.

How We Use Your Information

We use the analytics data collected to:

• Understand how users interact with our service
• Identify and fix technical issues
• Improve website performance and user experience
• Analyze which features are most popular
• Make informed decisions about future improvements

Data Sharing and Third Parties

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, which is provided by Google LLC. Google processes the analytics data on our behalf as a data processor. Google may use this data for its own purposes as outlined in their privacy policy.

No Other Third Parties

We do not share your data with any other third parties. We do not sell, rent, or trade any information collected from our users.

Data Security

Your images are processed entirely in your browser and never leave your device. This provides the highest level of security possible for your files.

For analytics data collected by Google Analytics, we rely on Google's security measures. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

Images: We do not store any images, so there is nothing to retain. Your images are only in your browser's memory while you're using the tool and are immediately discarded when you close the page or clear your browser cache.

Analytics Data: Google Analytics retains user-level data for 2 months by default. After this period, the data is automatically deleted.

Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers have "Do Not Track" features that send a signal to websites you visit. Currently, there is no standard for how websites should respond to these signals. We do not currently respond to Do Not Track signals.
