Privacy Policy
Last Updated: March 07, 2025
Welcome to anyPic Tools ( https://anypic.tools ), a powerful image conversion and editing tool provided by anyPic Tools ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your experience with our service is secure and transparent. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services (collectively, the "Service").
1. Information We Collect
anyPic Tools is designed to prioritize your privacy by processing most image conversions and edits directly in your browser. However, we may collect certain types of information as outlined below:
- Uploaded Files: When you use our Service, you may upload images for conversion or editing. For most operations, these files are processed locally on your device and are not transmitted to our servers. In cases where server-assisted conversion is required (e.g., for complex or specialized formats), your files are temporarily uploaded to our servers.
- Usage Data: We may collect anonymized data about how you interact with the Service, such as the types of conversions performed, browser type, operating system, and other technical details. This data helps us improve the Service but is not linked to your identity.
- No Personal Information Required: You are not required to create an account or provide personal information (e.g., name, email address) to use anyPic Tools.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To Provide the Service: Uploaded files are processed to perform the image conversions or edits you request. Local processing ensures your files remain on your device whenever possible.
- Server-Assisted Processing: For complex conversions requiring additional computing power, files are temporarily uploaded to our servers to complete the task.
- Service Improvement: Anonymized usage data helps us understand how our Service is used, troubleshoot issues, and enhance functionality.
3. Data Storage and Retention
We prioritize your privacy with the following practices:
- Local Processing: Most conversions and edits occur directly in your browser, meaning your files are not stored on our servers.
- Server-Assisted Conversions: When server processing is required, your uploaded files are stored temporarily and automatically deleted from our servers within 15 minutes of processing completion. We do not retain copies of your files beyond this period.
- No Permanent Storage: We do not store your files permanently, and we do not maintain a database of user-uploaded content.
4. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise share your files or personal information with third parties, except in the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: We may use third-party services (e.g., cloud hosting providers) to assist with server-assisted conversions. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are not permitted to use your files for any other purpose.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to a valid legal request (e.g., a court order or subpoena).
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
anyPic Tools uses minimal cookies and tracking technologies:
- Essential Cookies: We may use cookies necessary for the basic operation of the Service (e.g., session management). These cookies do not track your activity across other websites.
- No Advertising Tracking: We do not use cookies or other technologies to track you for advertising purposes.
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
6. Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your information:
- Local Processing: By performing most operations in your browser, we minimize the risk of data interception.
- Secure Transmission: For server-assisted conversions, files are transmitted using encrypted connections (e.g., HTTPS).
- Temporary Storage: Files on our servers are stored securely and deleted automatically after 15 minutes.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your Choices
You have control over how you use anyPic Tools:
- File Management: Since most processing is local, your files remain on your device unless server assistance is required. Download your converted files promptly after server-assisted conversions, as they are deleted from our servers after 15 minutes.
- No Account Needed: You can use the Service without providing personal information or creating an account.
8. Third-Party Links
Our Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before interacting with them.
9. Children's Privacy
anyPic Tools is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that such information has been collected, we will take steps to delete it.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
