imgavio operates imgavio.com, a free browser-based image processing platform. Privacy questions: privacy@imgavio.com.
imgavio is architecturally designed to never receive your image files. Here is exactly what happens:
| Tool Type | Processing Location | Do We Receive Images? |
|---|---|---|
| Compression (JPG, PNG, WebP…) | Your browser — WebAssembly | No — technically impossible |
| Format Conversion | Your browser — WebAssembly | No — technically impossible |
| Resize, Crop, Rotate | Your browser — Canvas API / Pica.js | No — technically impossible |
| Watermark, Meme, Editor | Your browser — Canvas API | No — technically impossible |
| QR Code, Favicon, Base64 | Your browser — JavaScript | No — technically impossible |
| Background Removal (AI) | Secure third-party API | Transmitted, not stored |
| AI Upscaling | Secure third-party API | Transmitted, not stored |
For AI tools: images are sent over encrypted HTTPS to a third-party API, processed immediately, and returned. Images are not stored after processing completes.
| Data | What | Why | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Analytics | Pages, tools used, country, browser type | Improve the Service | 12 months |
| Performance | Load times, errors | Fix bugs | 90 days |
| Contact Data | Name, email, message (only if you write to us) | Reply to you | 2 years |
| Advertising | Ad impressions and clicks (via ad network) | Fund free service | Per ad network |
We do not collect: personal identifiers in normal use, location beyond country level, device fingerprints, or cross-site tracking data.
We use three types of cookies: Essential (required for tool preference saving), Analytics (privacy-respecting, no individual profiles), and Advertising (contextual ads, can be opted out via browser settings or ad opt-out tools). Blocking cookies may affect some preference settings but not core tool functionality.
imgavio displays contextual ads to fund the free service. We use contextual advertising (matched to page content, not personal profiles). We do not allow advertisers to influence tool results or content. Tools work fully even with ad blockers enabled.
We never sell personal data. We share only with: analytics providers (aggregated, anonymized), advertising networks (limited, for ad serving), AI API providers (image data only for AI tools, not retained), and legal authorities (only when required by law).
Exercise any right at privacy@imgavio.com. We respond within 30 days. EU residents can also complain to their national Data Protection Authority.
imgavio.com uses HTTPS throughout. The primary security feature is architectural: because image processing is local, there is no image data on our servers to breach. Contact form data and analytics are stored with access limited to essential personnel only.
imgavio is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. Contact privacy@imgavio.com if you believe this has occurred.
Material changes to this Policy will be announced on imgavio.com. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
