Privacy Policy

1. About This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the website PicEditor, available at piceditor.app, including its online photo editing tools, supporting pages, and related website features.

By using PicEditor, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please stop using the website.

Our goal is to explain privacy in plain English rather than hide important information inside complicated legal language.

2. What PicEditor Does

PicEditor provides online image and photo editing tools that can help users perform common image tasks without installing traditional desktop software.

Depending on the tool you use, these tasks may include editing, cropping, resizing, compressing, converting, and preparing images for different purposes.

The website is designed to make common image tasks easier to access without requiring users to create an account for the core editing experience.

3. Information We May Collect

PicEditor does not require you to provide personal information simply to open the website or use the core photo editing experience. However, certain information may be collected automatically when you visit and interact with a website.

Information you voluntarily provide

If you contact us, submit feedback, or communicate with us through a contact form or email, we may receive the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, and the contents of your message.

Technical information

Standard technical information may be processed by the website, hosting provider, analytics services, security systems, or other infrastructure. This may include information such as:

• Browser type and version
• Device type
• Operating system
• Approximate location derived from an IP address
• Pages visited
• Referring pages or websites
• Date and time of visits
• Basic interaction and performance information

The exact information collected can depend on your browser, device, settings, and the services operating on the website.

4. How PicEditor Handles Uploaded Images

Images are the central part of PicEditor’s service, so image privacy is particularly important to us.

PicEditor’s editing experience is designed to allow image processing to take place through the user’s browser where supported by the specific tool and workflow. This means the normal editing process does not require us to know the personal identity of the person editing the image.

We do not use uploaded images to create user profiles or to sell the contents of users’ images.

5. Why Information May Be Used

Information available to PicEditor or its service providers may be used for legitimate website and business purposes, including:

• Providing and operating the website

• Understanding how visitors use the website
• Improving tools and website usability
• Diagnosing technical problems
• Measuring website performance
• Responding to support or contact requests

We aim to collect and use information only when it has a reasonable purpose connected with operating, improving, securing, or supporting PicEditor.

6. Cookies, Local Storage, and Similar Technologies

PicEditor and the services used to operate the website may use cookies, browser storage, or similar technologies.

These technologies can be used for purposes such as remembering preferences, maintaining functionality, measuring website usage, improving performance, preventing abuse, or supporting advertising.

Your browser normally provides controls that allow you to manage, block, or delete cookies and stored website data. Blocking certain technologies may cause some website features to work differently.

7. Analytics and Website Measurement

We may use analytics or measurement services to understand how visitors use PicEditor.

Analytics can help us identify which pages are useful, where visitors encounter problems, how the website performs on different devices, and which areas may need improvement.

Analytics providers may process technical information according to their own privacy policies and terms.

If advertising is enabled on PicEditor, visitors may have additional choices regarding personalized advertising depending on their location, browser, device, and applicable privacy settings.

9. Third-Party Services

PicEditor may rely on third-party providers for certain website functions. These providers can include hosting, security, analytics, advertising, payment, communication, or other infrastructure services.

When third-party services are used, those providers may process certain technical or other information necessary to provide their services. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy policies and terms.

10. External Websites and Links

PicEditor may contain links to websites operated by other organizations. These links may be provided because they contain useful information, resources, services, or references related to our content.

Once you leave PicEditor and visit another website, that website’s own privacy policy and terms apply. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, content, or policies of websites that we do not operate.

11. Data Retention

We do not intend to keep personal information longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required for legal, security, accounting, or other legitimate reasons.

Information handled by third-party service providers may be retained according to their own policies and contractual or legal requirements.

12. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the website and information handled through it. This may include technical, administrative, and security measures appropriate to the nature of the information and the service.
