Privacy-First Image Processing

Last updated: February 10, 2026

1) What this policy covers

This policy explains how cropresize.net handles personal data and uploaded files when you use the website, API, and related pages. It covers both free and Pro usage.

2) Data we process

• Uploaded files: images (and zip archives for batch features) submitted for transformation.
• Generated outputs: transformed images and zip archives.
• Operational metadata: timestamps, selected transform options, and technical request logs for reliability and security.
• Abuse-prevention signals: IP-based and cookie/session-based usage counters for daily limits.

3) How your files are stored

• Files are stored in private encrypted object storage.
• Uploads are not listed publicly and are not exposed via permanent public URLs.
• Downloads are delivered using short-lived signed links.

4) Retention and deletion

• Target retention for image files is approximately 24 hours.
• Download links expire automatically.
• Operational logs and non-image technical records may be retained longer for security, billing, and debugging purposes.

5) Why we process data

• Provide image transformation services (resize, crop, rotate, format conversion, compression, batch processing).
• Protect platform stability and prevent abuse.
• Measure performance and diagnose service issues.
• Support pricing, limits, and service operations.

6) Cookies and local identifiers

We use a minimal session identifier to apply fair-use limits and support service continuity. We do not use that identifier for advertising profiles.

7) Third-party services

Infrastructure providers (such as hosting, CDN, storage, and security services) may process technical data as part of delivering this service.

8) International processing

Your data may be processed in regions where our infrastructure operates. By using the service, you acknowledge this transfer for service delivery.

9) Security measures

• Private object storage with encryption at rest.
• Time-limited signed URL access for downloads.
• Automated lifecycle rules for file cleanup.
• Operational monitoring and error logging.

10) Your choices and rights

• Do not upload files containing data you do not want processed.
• Request support or policy questions via the contact page.
• Where applicable by law, you may request access, correction, or deletion of personal data we control.

11) Children

The service is not directed to children under 13. Do not use the service if you are under the minimum legal age in your jurisdiction.

We may update this policy to reflect service or legal changes. The latest version is always published on this page with an updated date.
