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
- 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)

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.

- 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)
