Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026 • Last Updated: October 2026

The PixelShrink Privacy Pledge

We do not upload, collect, or store your photos. All image processing operations (compression, resizing, format conversion) are executed strictly inside your local web browser sandbox using client-side JavaScript. Your files never travel across the internet.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

Unlike traditional file conversion services, PixelShrink operates without a backend media server. As a direct consequence:

  • We do not have access to any image, document, or graphic file you drag into the application.
  • We do not record EXIF metadata, GPS locations, camera models, or timestamps embedded within your photos.
  • We do not maintain databases of converted files or user uploads.

2. Web Analytics and Log Data

Like virtually all websites, we may collect anonymous, non-personally identifiable log information when you access our service. This may include your browser type, device operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, and timestamps. We utilize this aggregate data solely to troubleshoot technical errors and improve user experience.

3. Cookies and Advertising Partners (Google AdSense)

We may partner with third-party advertising networks, such as Google AdSense, to serve advertisements when you visit our website. These companies may use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites across the Internet:

  • Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to our sites and other sites on the Internet.
  • Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (https://adssettings.google.com).

4. GDPR & CCPA Rights

Because we do not store, process, or sell personal identifiers or user images, there is no database of personal information to request deletion of. However, in full accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you retain the right to inquire about data practices by contacting us directly.
