Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 06, 2026

1. Information We Collect

Images and Files

When you use our image conversion and optimization tools, you upload files to our servers for processing. We treat these files with the utmost care:

• Files are temporarily stored only for the duration of the conversion or editing process.
• All uploaded files and their converted results are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers within a short timeframe (typically 1-2 hours).
• We never access, view, analyze, or share your files with any third party.
• Your files are not used for any purpose other than fulfilling your requested action (e.g., converting, compressing).

Technical Information

We collect minimal, anonymous technical information to keep our site functional and secure. This may include:

• Your IP address (used only for security, rate limiting, and abuse prevention).
• Basic analytics (e.g., browser type, operating system, pages visited) to understand how our tools are used and where we can make improvements. This data is aggregated and anonymous.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information only to:

• Process your image conversions and optimizations.
• Ensure the security and stability of our service (e.g., preventing DDoS attacks or abuse).
• Analyze aggregated usage statistics to fix bugs and improve our tools and user experience.

3. Data Storage and Security

We take data security seriously:

• No Permanent Storage: Your uploaded files are deleted permanently after 1-2 hours. We do not keep copies or backups of your files.
• Secure Connections: All data transfers (uploads and downloads) use SSL/TLS (HTTPS) encryption to protect your files in transit.
• Secure Servers: Our servers are protected with industry-standard security measures, including firewalls and limited access controls.

4. Cookies and Tracking

PicSpectra aims to minimize tracking: we do not run invasive ad-tech profiles on your uploads. Essential cookies or local storage may be used for basic site function (for example remembering a quality preset on a tool).

We may use essential, first-party cookies or your browser's local storage for basic site functionality, such as remembering your preferred quality setting on a tool. These preferences are stored only in your browser and are not sent to our servers.

5. Third-Party Services

We do not share your data with any third-party marketing or data-broker services.

• Tool-Specific APIs: Some of our tools (like the "Remove Background" tool) may rely on a third-party API (e.g., remove.bg) to function. In these cases, your image is sent securely to that API for processing and is subject to their privacy policy (which also includes not storing your images). This is clearly noted on the specific tool.
• Analytics: We may use privacy-focused analytics (like Plausible or Fathom) that do not use cookies and do not collect any personally identifiable information.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Privacy: Use our service without creating an account or providing any personal information.
• Data Deletion: Rest assured that your files are automatically deleted. There is no "opt-in" required; this is our default policy for all users.
• Transparency: Understand exactly how we handle your data by reading this policy.

7. Children's Privacy

PicSpectra is available to users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction). Since we don't require registration or store files, our service is safe for all users.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. Your continued use of PicSpectra after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
