Privacy Policy

Welcome to Imagiks. This Privacy Policy outlines our commitment to protecting your privacy and explains how your information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you visit our website (Imagiks.com) and utilize our image processing tools. We believe that transparency is the key to a trustworthy relationship with our users.

By accessing or using the Imagiks website and services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please do not use our services.

1. The Imagiks Zero-Upload Guarantee

We take pride in our architecture. Imagiks is a completely client-side application. This means that we do not upload, transmit, or store your image files on our servers.

• Local Processing: All image compression, resizing, format conversion, and other edits are performed entirely within your web browser using HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly technologies.
• No Server Intervention: Your original files and the resulting processed images remain on your local device. We never have access to them.
• Complete Control: You maintain absolute ownership and control over the content you process using our tools. We cannot claim copyright, view, or distribute your images.

2. Information We Collect

While we do not collect your personal images, we do collect certain technical and usage information to ensure our website functions correctly and to improve the overall user experience.

2.1. Automatically Collected Information

When you visit Imagiks.com, our servers automatically record information that your browser sends. This may include:

• Your device's Internet Protocol (IP) address.
• Browser type, browser version, and operating system.
• The pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the time spent on those pages.
• Diagnostic data regarding crashes or script errors to help us debug client-side issues.

2.2. Information You Provide to Us

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you interact with our website. This includes:

• Contact Information: If you use our Contact Us form, you will be required to provide your name and email address so that we can respond to your inquiry.
• Feedback: Any feedback, feature requests, or bug reports you send us via email or our support channels.
• Newsletter Submission: If we launch a mailing list and you opt-in, we will collect your email address for marketing and update purposes.

3. How We Use the Information

We leverage the data we collect solely to provide, maintain, and improve the Imagiks service. Specifically, we use it to:

1. Enhance User Experience: To understand how users interact with our tools and optimize the interface accordingly.
2. Customer Support: To address technical issues, respond to inquiries, and provide timely assistance based on the contact information you provide.
3. Analytics: To monitor overall traffic patterns and service usage. We use aggregated, anonymized data to measure the effectiveness of our platform.
4. Security: To detect, prevent, and address technical abuse, fraudulent access, or malicious attacks against our website infrastructure.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Imagiks utilizes cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Preference Cookies: Used to remember your settings and preferences (e.g., remembering if you selected Dark Mode or Light Mode).
• Analytics Cookies: We utilize third-party services like Google Analytics to track user interaction. These cookies help us understand page load speeds and identify which features are most popular.

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept preference cookies, you may have to manually re-select your preferred theme settings every time you visit.

5. Third-Party Services

We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service ("Service Providers"), to provide the Service on our behalf, or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used.

These third parties have access to your browsing analytics only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. As stated previously, these third parties absolutely do not have access to your images.

We may include links to third-party websites or services that are not owned or controlled by Imagiks. We have no control over, and assume no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party web sites or services.

6. Data Security

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data (such as enforcing HTTPS/SSL encryption across all pages), we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Because your images are processed locally and never transmitted, the security of those specific files is dependent entirely on the security of your own local device and network.

7. GDPR, CCPA, and Your Data Rights

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA) under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), or a resident of California under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have certain data protection rights regarding your personal information (such as your submitted email address or analytics data).

• The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
• The right to rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
• The right to erasure ("Right to be forgotten"): You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
• The right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights or withdraw your consent for contact, please reach out to our privacy officer via the methods detailed on our Contact Us page.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Children has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
