Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 30, 2026 This policy applies to The Image Tool website. For privacy questions or requests, use the Contact Us page.

You may provide information when you contact the site, submit feedback, report a problem, or use a contact form. The exact information depends on the form you choose to submit and may include your name, email address, message, and any details you voluntarily include. Please do not send sensitive personal information through a general contact form unless it is genuinely necessary and the site specifically asks for it.

The four core image tools supplied with this website are designed to process supported images in your web browser. In this supplied implementation, the image you select for compression, resizing, social resizing, or format conversion is processed on the device through browser-side code rather than being uploaded to the WordPress server for the core image operation. If the site owner later adds server-side image processing, cloud storage, an external image API, upload logging, or another service that receives image files, this policy must be updated before that feature is used publicly.

Like most websites, the hosting environment may automatically record technical information when a page is requested. Depending on the host and security setup, logs can include IP address, date and time, requested URL, browser or user-agent information, referring page, response status, and similar diagnostic data. These records may be used for site operation, security, troubleshooting, abuse prevention, and performance analysis.

The website itself, WordPress, installed plugins, analytics providers, advertising services, consent tools, or embedded third-party features may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies. The exact cookies present on the live site depend on the services the site owner enables. Where applicable law requires consent before non-essential cookies are used, the site owner should configure an appropriate consent mechanism and keep this policy consistent with the actual cookie setup.

If an analytics service such as Google Analytics or another provider is enabled, it may collect information about visits, devices, pages viewed, interactions, approximate location, and traffic sources according to that provider's configuration and privacy terms. The live privacy policy should identify any analytics service that is actually enabled and describe the available controls.

The website may display advertising, including Google AdSense, if advertising is enabled. Advertising providers may use cookies or other technologies to measure ads, limit repetition, detect fraud, and personalize or contextualize advertising where permitted. Google and its partners may process data according to their own policies. If personalized advertising or consent requirements apply in a visitor's region, the site owner is responsible for configuring the appropriate consent and advertising settings. If AdSense is not enabled, this section should be revised so it accurately describes the live site.

The live site may rely on third parties for hosting, content delivery, security, analytics, advertising, email delivery, spam prevention, fonts, forms, or other services. Those providers may process technical or personal information under their own terms. The site owner should list material third-party services here when they are enabled.

Information should be kept only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, legal obligations, security, dispute resolution, or legitimate site administration. Retention periods for hosting logs, contact messages, analytics data, and advertising data can differ because they may be controlled by different systems or providers. Retention can vary by hosting, email, analytics, security, and advertising provider. When the live site uses a service with a defined retention setting, the site owner should configure that setting appropriately and keep this policy aligned with it.

The website may link to third-party sites. A link does not make The Image Tool responsible for another site's content, privacy practices, security, or terms. Review the privacy information of the destination before providing personal information there.

The site is a general-purpose image utility and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from children through the image-processing tools. If a contact or account feature is later added and laws in the site owner's jurisdiction create additional obligations for children's data, the site owner should update the site and this policy accordingly.

Depending on where you live, privacy law may give you rights relating to personal information, such as requesting access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or information about processing. These rights are not identical everywhere and may be subject to legal exceptions. Use the contact method listed at the top of this policy to make a privacy request. The site owner may need to verify the request before acting on it.

Reasonable technical and administrative measures should be used to protect the website and information handled through it. No website, network, browser, or storage system can guarantee absolute security, so this policy does not promise that every possible risk can be eliminated.

This policy may be updated when the website adds or removes services, changes its technical setup, or legal requirements change. The updated version should be posted on this page with a revised date.

For privacy questions or requests, use the Contact Us page. Messages submitted through the built-in form are sent to the Administrator Email configured in WordPress.
