Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 2025-12-09
This Privacy Policy explains how Universal Image Converter ("we", "our", "the Service") handles information when you use the application to convert image files. The Service is designed with privacy as a core principle—we collect no personal information and require no user accounts.
1. What We Do NOT Collect
We do not collect, store, or process any personal information. No user accounts, no email addresses, no names, no payment information—nothing.
- No user registration or authentication required
- No cookies set by our application
- No analytics or tracking scripts
- No payment processing or billing information
- No database storing user data
2. Data We Process
2.1 Uploaded Images
Files you upload are held only in server memory (RAM) for the duration of the conversion request (typically a few seconds). They are never written to permanent storage, never stored in a database, and are immediately discarded after the conversion is complete and sent back to you.
2.2 Third-Party Cookies
Google AdSense may set cookies for advertising purposes if ads are enabled. These are controlled by Google's privacy policy, not ours. We have no access to this data.
2.3 Server Logs
Our hosting provider may record minimal server logs (timestamp, IP address, HTTP request path, error codes) for infrastructure monitoring and security purposes. These logs do not contain file contents, file names, or any image data. They are automatically rotated and purged within 30 days.
3. How We Use Data
The only data we process (uploaded images) is used exclusively to:
- Perform the image format conversion you requested
- Return the converted file(s) to you
Server logs (if any) are used only for:
- Preventing abuse and detecting security threats
- Infrastructure monitoring and error debugging
4. Data Retention
Uploaded images: Permanently deleted from server memory within seconds after your conversion is complete. Zero retention.
Server logs: Automatically rotated and purged within 30 days maximum, unless needed for active security investigations.
Personal data: We don't collect any, so there's nothing to retain.
5. Security
We employ industry-standard security practices including:
- Encrypted transport (HTTPS/TLS) for all communications
- In-memory processing only—no persistent storage of your files
- Regular security updates and dependency patching
- Rate limiting to prevent abuse
The best security is not collecting sensitive data in the first place. Since we don't store your images or require personal information, there's no data to compromise.
6. International Transfers
Image conversion requests may be processed on servers in various geographic regions depending on our hosting infrastructure. Since images are processed in-memory only and immediately discarded, and we collect no personal information, there is no personal data transfer or storage.
7. Third Parties
We work with minimal third parties:
- Hosting Provider: Provides server infrastructure for processing conversions. They may collect standard server logs as part of their service.
- Google AdSense (Optional): If ads are enabled, Google may set cookies and collect data per their Privacy Policy. We have no control over or access to this data.
We do not share, sell, or transfer your images or any data to third parties. Ever.
8. Children's Privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13. Since we collect no personal information from anyone, we cannot and do not knowingly collect it from children. The service can be used by anyone without providing any personal data.
9. Your Rights
Under various privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA, etc.), you typically have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal data. However, since we don't collect or store any personal information, there is no personal data to access, correct, delete, or port.
Your images are automatically and immediately deleted after conversion—you maintain complete control simply by using the service.
10. Changes
If we materially change this policy we will update the date and may provide additional notice (e.g. banner or email if appropriate). Continued use constitutes acceptance.
