Privacy Policy for Compress-Image.org
Last updated: January 10, 2025
Introduction
Welcome to Compress-Image.org, the free online image compressor that prioritizes your privacy above all else. Unlike other online tools, our service is built on a foundation of complete privacy protection - your images never leave your device, ever.
This Privacy Policy explains our commitment to protecting your privacy and details exactly how our service works to ensure your data remains 100% private and secure.
Our Privacy-First Approach
At Compress-Image.org, we've designed our free online image compressor with a fundamental principle: Zero Data Collection.
What Makes Us Different
- 100% Browser-Based Processing: All image compression happens directly in your browser using JavaScript
- No Server Uploads: Your images never touch our servers or leave your device
- No Image Storage: We don't store, cache, or have access to any of your images
- No Registration Required: Use our free service without creating any accounts
- No Tracking: We don't track your usage patterns or personal behavior
Unlike most online services, we DO NOT collect:
- ❌ Your images or any visual content
- ❌ Personal information (names, emails, addresses)
- ❌ Device identifiers or browser fingerprints
- ❌ Usage analytics or behavioral data
- ❌ Payment information (service is completely free)
- ❌ Cookies for tracking purposes
- ❌ IP address logs for monitoring users
We only collect minimal, non-personal technical data to ensure our service functions properly:
-
Basic Analytics (Anonymous)
- General website traffic statistics
- Browser compatibility data (to ensure our tool works across different browsers)
- Page load performance metrics
-
Essential Cookies
- Language preference cookies (to remember if you chose English or Chinese)
- Theme preference cookies (light/dark mode)
- These cookies contain no personal information and can be disabled
How Our Free Online Image Compressor Works
Our privacy protection is built into the technology itself:
- Upload: When you drag images into our tool, they're loaded directly into your browser's memory
- Process: Our compression algorithms run entirely within your browser using WebAssembly and JavaScript
- Download: Compressed images are generated locally and downloaded directly from your browser
- Cleanup: All image data is automatically cleared from your browser's memory when you're done
At no point do your images travel over the internet to our servers.
Third-Party Services
- CDN Services: We use content delivery networks to serve our website files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) faster, but no personal data is shared
- Analytics: If used, only aggregated, anonymous traffic statistics that cannot identify individual users
Data Security
Since we don't collect or store your images or personal data, there's no risk of data breaches affecting your content. However, we still maintain security best practices:
- HTTPS Encryption: All website traffic is encrypted
- Secure Infrastructure: Our website is hosted on secure, monitored servers
- Regular Updates: We keep our systems updated with the latest security patches
Your Rights and Control
You have complete control over your data because:
- No Data to Delete: Since we don't store your images, there's nothing to delete
- No Accounts to Manage: No registration means no account data to worry about
- Browser Control: You can clear your browser's local data anytime
- Cookie Control: You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings
International Users
Our free online image compressor works globally without collecting location data. Since all processing happens locally in your browser, there are no cross-border data transfer concerns.
Children's Privacy
Our service is safe for users of all ages because we don't collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
Transparency and Trust
We believe privacy should be simple and transparent. If you have any questions about how our free online image compressor protects your privacy, please don't hesitate to ask.
