Privacy Policy
Your privacy is fundamental to how ImgLab works. This tool was designed from the ground up so that your files never leave your device.
How Your Images Are Processed
All image processing (compression, resizing, format conversion) is performed entirely within your web browser using the native Canvas API. Your images are never uploaded to any server. No data is transmitted over the network during processing. You can verify this yourself by monitoring your browser's Network tab in Developer Tools.
What We Do NOT Collect
- We do not collect, store, or transmit your images
- We do not have access to any files on your device
- We do not require any account or personal information
Personal Information Collected Through Third-Party Services
While ImgLab itself does not collect personal information, we use Google AdSense to display advertisements. When you consent to advertising cookies, Google may collect the following information:
- IP address
- Device identifiers (browser type, operating system, screen resolution)
- Browsing data (pages visited, time spent, referring URLs)
- Cookie identifiers used for ad personalization
This data is collected and processed by Google in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.
Cookies
This website uses the following types of cookies:
Strictly Necessary Cookies
We use a single cookie (cookie-consent) to store your cookie preferences.
This cookie does not collect personal information and is required for the site to function properly.
Advertising Cookies (Non-Essential)
Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. These cookies are disabled by default and are only activated after you give explicit consent through our cookie consent banner. You may withdraw your consent at any time by clicking the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of any page.
You can also opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
Cross-Border Data Transfers
When advertising cookies are active, personal information collected by Google AdSense may be transferred to and processed in the United States and other countries where Google operates. These jurisdictions may not offer the same level of protection as Quebec privacy laws. By consenting to advertising cookies, you acknowledge this transfer. Google's data processing is governed by their Data Processing Terms.
