Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Images Tool Box ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website www.imagestoolbox.com (the "Website"). We are committed to being transparent about how we handle information related to visitors. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, how it is used, and what rights you have regarding your information.

By using the Website, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Website. This policy should be read alongside our Terms of Service and Cookie Policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways: automatically when you visit the Website, and directly when you choose to contact us.

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit www.imagestoolbox.com, certain data is collected automatically by analytics and advertising services we have integrated into the Website. This may include:

• Your IP address (typically stored in anonymized or truncated form)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited and tools used
• Referral source (how you arrived at the Website)
• Approximate geographic location derived from IP address
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)

This data is collected via cookies and similar tracking technologies. We do not collect your name, email address, or any personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it through our contact form.

Files You Upload

The vast majority of Images Tool Box tools process your files entirely within your browser. No files are transmitted to our servers during this process. For the small number of tools that do require server-side processing, uploaded files are handled over a secure HTTPS connection and are permanently deleted immediately after processing. We do not store, analyze, or share your uploaded files.

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies on the Website. A cookie is a small text file placed on your device that helps websites recognize you and remember your preferences. The Website uses the following categories of cookies:

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These are required for the Website to function correctly. They cannot be disabled.
• Analytics Cookies: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized information about how visitors use the Website. This helps us understand which tools are popular, identify errors, and improve user experience. Google Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
• Advertising Cookies: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Website. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to www.imagestoolbox.com and other websites. These cookies allow Google to deliver relevant advertising and to measure the effectiveness of ad campaigns.

Google's advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to show you ads based on your visit to the Website and other sites across the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

For a complete breakdown of all cookies used on the Website, please read our Cookie Policy.

4. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

Images Tool Box is a participant in the Google AdSense program. Google AdSense is an advertising service provided by Google LLC. When you visit the Website, Google may use cookies stored on your device to serve advertisements that are relevant to your interests.

Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to www.imagestoolbox.com and other websites. These cookies do not personally identify you to us. The data is handled by Google in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

We have no access to or control over the cookies set by Google or other third-party advertisers. If you would like to learn more or opt out, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond and resolve the inquiry.

We do not build profiles of individual users. We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to any third parties.

7. Data Security

All data transmitted to and from www.imagestoolbox.com is protected using HTTPS (TLS encryption). We implement reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of your information. However, no internet-based service can guarantee complete security, and we cannot warrant the absolute security of any data you transmit.
