Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-04-08

ImageMint ("the Service") is a browser-based image optimization tool designed with user privacy as the top priority. This Privacy Policy describes how information is handled in connection with your use of the Service.

Core Principle: No Image Data Transmission

The most important feature of this Service is that uploaded image data is never sent to any server. All image processing is performed entirely within your browser using WebAssembly technology.
  • Image data is processed only in browser memory
  • All image data is automatically deleted when you close the page
  • Processing results are generated in-browser and are not transmitted externally except through download
  • AI models used for background removal also run within the browser

Information We Collect

1. Usage Data (Google Analytics)

We use Google Analytics 4 for service improvement. The following anonymous data is collected:

  • Page views, session duration
  • Types of tools used
  • Browser type, OS, screen resolution
  • Approximate geographic location (country/region level)
  • Referral URLs

Note: No image-related information such as filenames, content, or metadata is ever collected.

2. Local Storage

The following preferences are stored in your browser's localStorage. These are stored only in your browser and are never sent to a server.

  • Theme preference (dark/light/system)
  • Image compression settings (output format, quality, etc.)
  • Language preference

Advertising

We may display ads via Google AdSense to cover operating costs. Google AdSense may use the following technologies:

  • Cookies (for ad personalization and effectiveness measurement)
  • Web beacons

For information about how Google uses data in advertising, please review Google's Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).

Data Retention

  • Image data: In-browser memory only. Deleted immediately when the page is closed. No server-side retention.
  • localStorage: Retained until browser data is cleared. Users can delete at any time.
  • Google Analytics data: Subject to Google's retention policy (typically 26 months).

Children's Privacy

This Service is not directed at children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has used the Service, we will take steps to delete any related data.

Your Rights

  • Since the Service does not store image data on servers, data deletion requests are unnecessary
  • localStorage data can be freely deleted from browser settings
  • Google Analytics opt-out is available via Google's browser add-on
  • Ad personalization can be managed via Google Ad Settings (https://adssettings.google.com)

Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated without notice. Significant changes will be communicated on this page. Continued use of the Service constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
