Privacy Policy & Cookie Disclosures

1. Information We Do Not Collect (Local-First Guarantee)

When using ILoveImages, all processing (including compression, resizing, cropping, conversion, watermarking, and background removal) is performed directly on your computer or phone inside your browser. At no point are your images transmitted across the internet to our servers or third parties. We do not store, copy, analyze, or retain any visual media you load into the application.

2. Google AdSense & Third-Party Advertising Disclosures

To keep our tools 100% free forever without subscriptions or watermarks, we display advertisements provided by third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense.

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on ILoveImages.
• Google's use of advertising cookies (such as the DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Users may opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting the Google Ads Settings portal.
• Alternatively, you can opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative.

3. Analytics & Usage Telemetry

We use aggregated, anonymized web analytics (such as Google Analytics 4) to monitor general website traffic trends, popular tools, language preferences, and browser compatibility. These analytics do not capture, log, or associate your personal identity, filenames, or image content.

4. European Union GDPR Compliance (Articles 13–22)

For users residing in the European Economic Area (EEA), we adhere to the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Right of Access & Rectification: Because we do not collect personal accounts or image data, we hold no user profiles to rectify.
• Right of Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): Images are purged immediately from browser memory upon tab close or file clearing.
• Data Minimization: We practice absolute data minimization by running algorithms locally.

5. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA / CPRA)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have specific privacy rights. ILoveImages does not sell, rent, or share personal information or user images with third parties for monetary or commercial consideration. You may use our service anonymously without discrimination.

6. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

ILoveImages does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Our tools do not require registration or personal data submission. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information through our contact form, please notify us immediately for prompt deletion.

7. Independent Technical Verification

You can independently verify our zero-upload guarantee at any time: open your web browser's Developer Tools (F12 or right-click $\to$ Inspect), navigate to the Network tab, perform any image operation (compression, crop, filter, or conversion), and observe that zero image payloads or bytes are transmitted over the wire.
