Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how TinyIMG Pro ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our image compression services ("Services") at tinyimg.pro or any related pages.

By using our Services, you acknowledge and accept the practices described in this policy. If you disagree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of our Services immediately.

How Our Service Works

Client-Side Processing: Unlike traditional image compression services, TinyIMG Pro uses advanced browser-based technology (HTML5 Canvas API and JavaScript) to process your images entirely within your web browser.

• Your images are never uploaded to our servers
• Your files never leave your computer or device
• We have zero access to your image content
• No storage or retention of your files occurs
• Complete privacy for sensitive, confidential, or personal images

This architecture-by-design approach ensures maximum privacy and security for all users.
