Privacy

Privacy-first image optimization

Your images never leave your browser.

ConV is engineered so that image pixels and related metadata from your local files are not transmitted to our servers. This policy explains what that means in practice, what data we still process, and your rights.

Section 1 โ€” Overview

  • All image processing for the optimization tool runs locally in your browser.
  • There are no image uploads to ConV for processing purposes.
  • There is no cloud-based image pipeline operated by ConV for your source files.
  • We do not store your images on our servers because image bytes are not received by those servers.
  • We do not inspect, analyse, train models on, or share your image contents.

Section 2 โ€” Local processing architecture

The tool uses WebAssembly codecs and parallel Web Workers for decode, resize, and encode. Processing is performed in memory in your browser tab. Optimised files can be packaged into a ZIP archive that is generated locally and downloaded directly from your device. EXIF and other metadata removal is performed locally as part of the chosen workflow (including lossless in-place stripping for supported formats).

  1. Your browser
  2. WASM & Web Workers
  3. ZIP download

No server involved in image processing

Section 3 โ€” Data we process

What we may process
  • Billing and subscription data when you use paid plans, processed by Stripe as our payment processor.
  • Privacy-oriented, aggregated analytics if and only if enabled for your deployment (no ad profiling).
  • Technical server logs generated when you load pages and call our APIs (for example IP address, timestamps, user agent, request path).
What we do not process
  • Image pixel contents from your local files.
  • EXIF, GPS, or other embedded metadata from your files on our servers.
  • Image previews generated in your browser for display in the tool.
  • Uploaded image files as part of the optimisation workflow (uploads are not used).

Section 4 โ€” Stripe billing

Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. and affiliated Stripe entities process payment data to operate checkout, invoicing, and subscriptions. Stripe acts as a payment processor under its own terms and privacy policy. Image files and outputs from the tool are not transmitted to Stripe under this architecture. To recognise entitled users on return visits we set a first-party HTTP-only cookie containing a signed session token (not a raw Stripe customer ID). Stripe is queried live on each request to verify whether an active subscription exists โ€” no subscription status is stored locally.

Section 4a โ€” Magic-link sign-in

ConV has no password system and no user database. If you lose access to your session (e.g. cleared browser cookies or a new device), you can request a secure sign-in link at /login. We look up your email address against Stripe customer records. If a matching active subscription is found, a time-limited link (valid 15 minutes) is sent to that email via our email provider (Resend). The link is cryptographically signed โ€” no subscription status is included in the token. Clicking it sets the same signed session cookie as described above. We do not store email addresses beyond what Stripe already holds for billing purposes. No passwords are created or stored at any point.

Section 5 โ€” Cookies

We use strictly necessary cookies where required to operate secure billing flows (for example an HTTP-only cookie storing a Stripe customer identifier after successful checkout). We do not use advertising cookies. We do not use cross-site tracking cookies for ad networks. For details and retention, see our Cookie policy.

Section 6 โ€” Analytics

Where analytics are enabled, they are configured to be privacy-friendly: no Google Analytics, no cross-site tracking IDs used for advertising, and no automated ad profiling based on your behaviour on the service. If analytics are off, only technical server logs as described above may be collected by infrastructure.

Section 7 โ€” GDPR rights

If we process personal data about you (for example billing records via Stripe, or log data attributable to you), you may have the following rights under the GDPR, subject to legal conditions:

RightSummary
AccessRequest information about personal data we hold about you.
RectificationRequest correction of inaccurate personal data.
ErasureRequest deletion where applicable (for example when no longer needed).
RestrictionRequest restriction of processing in defined cases.
Data portabilityReceive structured data you provided where processing is contract-based and automated.
ObjectionObject to processing grounded on legitimate interests, where applicable.
ComplaintLodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country, in particular in the EU Member State of your habitual residence or place of work.

Section 8 โ€” Technical and Legal Limitations

While ConV is designed to process images locally and to strip metadata where requested, the following technical limitations apply:

  • Local metadata stripping is performed on a best-effort basis using browser-side codecs. It may not detect or remove all embedded metadata in every file type, codec variant, or container format.
  • Output files may retain certain metadata structures depending on the source format, the codec used by your browser, or limitations in the WebAssembly libraries processing the file.
  • You must independently validate output files before publication, submission, or distribution in any context where complete metadata removal is legally or contractually required.
  • Browser updates, device hardware, available memory, and operating system configurations may affect the behaviour of local processing. We cannot guarantee identical output across all environments.

ConV does not provide legal advice. Nothing in this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Service, or anywhere else on this website constitutes legal, regulatory, or compliance advice. You remain solely responsible for ensuring your use of the Service and its outputs complies with all applicable laws and regulations, including the GDPR, CCPA, and any industry-specific privacy requirements. Consult a qualified legal professional for advice specific to your situation.
