Summary
Images you compress with LightenPixel are processed entirely in your browser. We never upload, receive, store or view your images. Like most websites, we use cookies for analytics and advertising, as described below.
1. Images you compress
When you select an image, it is read and compressed by JavaScript running on your own device. The image and the compressed result are not transmitted to LightenPixel or any third party. Closing or refreshing the page removes them from memory.
2. Information collected automatically
Our hosting provider and analytics tools may collect standard technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring page and time of visit. We use this to understand how the site is used, keep it secure and improve it. We may use Google Analytics, which sets cookies to collect this information. You can learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
3. Advertising
LightenPixel is supported by advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info. Other advertising partners we work with may also use cookies and similar technologies under their own privacy policies.
4. Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the image compressor will continue to work without them. Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland will be asked for consent before non-essential cookies are used.
5. Emails you send us
If you contact us by email, we use your email address and message only to reply to you. We do not sell or share it.
6. Children
LightenPixel is a general-audience tool and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA or New Zealand Privacy Act 2020), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information about you. Because we do not store your images or accounts, we hold very little personal data. To make a request, email hello@lightenpixel.com.
8. Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
