Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 27, 2024

Introduction

Welcome to ImageMagix ("we", "us", "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website https://www.imagemagix.online and use our online image tools ("Service"). Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site or use the Service.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect via the Service includes:

  • Images You Upload: We temporarily collect the images you upload solely for the purpose of processing them according to the tool you are using (e.g., converting, resizing, removing background). We do not claim ownership of your images. Processed images and original uploads are automatically deleted from our servers within a short period (typically less than 1 hour) after processing is complete or the session ends. We do not store your images long-term.
  • Usage Data: We may automatically collect standard information sent by your browser, such as your IP address (often anonymized or truncated), browser type, operating system, access times, and referring website addresses. This data is used for analytics purposes (e.g., via Vercel Analytics or a similar privacy-focused service) to improve our Service and is typically aggregated.
  • Contact Information: If you contact us via the Contact Us form, we collect your name, email address, subject, and message content to respond to your inquiry.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We and our third-party partners (including advertising partners like Google AdSense) may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies to collect information about your interaction with the Service and advertisements. This helps personalize content, deliver targeted advertising, and analyze site traffic. We use essential cookies for site functionality and allow advertising/analytics cookies from partners like Google. You can manage cookie preferences via your browser settings and Google's ad settings. You can find out more about Google's use of cookies for advertising here.
  • AI Processing Data: When you use AI-powered features (like background removal with remove.bg or colorization with Google AI), the uploaded image data is sent to the respective AI service provider for processing. These providers may temporarily process your data according to their own privacy policies. We do not intentionally allow these providers to use your images for training their models beyond their standard service operation. Please review the privacy policies of remove.bg and Google AI.

2. How We Use Your Information

Having accurate information permits us to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Specifically, we may use information collected about you via the Service to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain our Service.
  • Process the images you upload according to your selected tool.
  • Improve, personalize, and expand our Service.
  • Understand and analyze how you use our Service (typically via aggregated data).
  • Respond to your comments, questions, and requests submitted via the contact form.
  • Prevent fraudulent activity and enhance the security of our Service.
  • Display advertisements (e.g., via Google AdSense) to support the free nature of the Service.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

3. Disclosure of Your Information

We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations. Your information may be disclosed as follows:

  • By Law or to Protect Rights: If we believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation.
  • Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your information with third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf, including hosting (e.g., Vercel), analytics, email delivery for contact form submissions, and AI processing (remove.bg, Google AI). We only share information necessary for them to perform their designated functions.
  • Advertising Partners: We allow third-party advertising partners (e.g., Google AdSense) to use tracking technologies on the Service to collect information about your interaction over time and across different websites, in order to display relevant advertisements based on your interests. Refer to our cookie section and Google's policies.
  • Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Data Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your information. This includes using HTTPS for data transmission and employing security practices provided by our hosting platform (Vercel). While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse. Information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties. Therefore, we cannot guarantee complete security if you provide personal information.

5. Your Data Rights (GDPR/CCPA etc.)

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your data.

Under GDPR, residents of the European Economic Area (EEA) have rights including access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and objection. Under CCPA, California residents have rights including the right to know, delete, and opt-out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information (note: we do not sell your data, but use of advertising cookies may constitute "sharing" under CCPA).

To exercise your rights regarding data collected via our contact form or inquire about your data, please use the Contact Us form. For managing advertising preferences, please refer to Google's Ad Settings and your browser's cookie management tools.

6. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions like the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under this age. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under the relevant age without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.
