Welcome to EditImage. We provide online tools for image editing, image compression, and meme generation. We understand that the images you upload may contain personal or sensitive information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, process, and protect your information when you use our website and services.
1. How We Handle Your Images
The core functionality of our service requires you to upload images for editing, compression, or meme creation. We treat your media with the utmost strictness:
- Temporary Processing: Images uploaded to our servers are stored strictly temporarily for the purpose of processing your request (e.g., applying filters, compressing size, or adding text).
- Automatic Deletion: All uploaded original images and their processed outputs are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers within 2 hours after processing is complete.
- No Claim of Ownership: We do not claim any ownership rights over the images you upload or the memes you create.
- No Public Gallery: We do not index, publish, or share your uploaded images or generated memes publicly unless you explicitly use a "Share to Public Gallery" feature (if available).
Client-Side Processing: Where possible, some of our compression and editing tools utilize WebAssembly to process images directly in your browser. In these cases, your image never even leaves your device!
2. Information We Collect
Apart from the temporary image files mentioned above, we may collect the following types of information:
- Usage Data: We automatically collect standard analytical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and the duration of your visit. This helps us optimize our tools for the platforms our users actually use.
- Voluntary Information: If you contact us for support or provide feedback, we will collect your email address and any other information you choose to provide in your message.
3. Watermarks and Meme Generation
When using our free Meme Maker tool, a small "EditImage.com" watermark may be applied to the final output.
- The watermark process is automated and does not involve manual review of your content.
- We do not embed hidden tracking pixels, EXIF data tracking, or steganographic personal identifiers into the watermarked images you download.
- Premium users who have paid to remove the watermark are subject to the same strict auto-deletion policies.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our service and hold certain information.
Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our service (such as remembering your dark/light mode preference or recent tool settings).
5. Data Security
The security of your data is important to us. We implement industry-standard security measures, including:
- SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transfers between your browser and our servers (including image uploads and downloads) are encrypted.
- Secure Cloud Infrastructure: Our processing servers are hosted on secure cloud providers with restricted access protocols.
However, remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
