Privacy Policy — Resize Image to 20KB

1. Overview & Privacy-First Commitment

At Resize Image to 20KB ("we," "our," or "the website"), accessible at https://resizeimageto20kb.net, user privacy is our highest priority.

We have engineered our image compression tools to operate 100% client-side. This means when you compress or resize images on our site, the processing happens directly inside your web browser. Your photos, signatures, and personal documents are never uploaded, stored, or processed on our servers.

2. Image Data & Processing

Zero Server Uploads: Files selected in the tool are loaded into your device's local memory via the HTML5 Canvas API and JavaScript.
No Cloud Storage: We do not keep copies of your original or compressed images.
EXIF Stripping: Metadata (including camera information, timestamps, and GPS tags) is automatically stripped when images are re-encoded.
Session Discard: Once you close or reload the browser tab, all temporary image data in memory is immediately cleared.

3. Information We Collect

We do not require you to create an account, register, or provide payment details to use any of our tools. We only collect minimal information in the following limited situations:

Direct Inquiries: If you contact us via our Contact Us form or email, we receive the name, email address, and message content you provide solely to respond to your inquiry.
Standard Web Server Logs: Like most websites, our hosting servers automatically record basic technical data (such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, and timestamp) for server maintenance, security monitoring, and DDoS defense.

4. Cookies & Browser Storage

We use minimal cookies and browser localStorage solely for functional purposes, such as saving your cookie consent preferences and maintaining your selected language choice.

For detailed information about each storage key, its duration, and how to manage cookie preferences, please visit our dedicated Cookies Policy.

To support the free operation of our website, we may display third-party advertisements, including Google AdSense.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

7. Children's Privacy

Right of Access: Request details of personal data held about you (e.g., support emails).
Right to Rectification or Erasure: Request correction or deletion of your communication records.
Right to Opt-Out: Opt out of third-party cookie-based advertising at any time.
