Privacy Policy
**Effective Date: January 1, 2026**
At **PhotoResizer AI** (available at [photoresizerai.com](https://photoresizerai.com)), user privacy is our top fundamental engineering principle. Unlike conventional online photo tools that transmit files to remote cloud servers for rendering, PhotoResizer AI is engineered from the ground up to operate **100% inside your local web browser**.
---
1. Zero Image Upload Architecture - **Local Execution**: When you select or drop an image into PhotoResizer AI, the image file is loaded directly into your device's browser memory (RAM). - **No Remote Processing**: All cropping, resizing, compression, format conversion (PNG to JPG), and biometric passport alignment functions are computed locally via HTML5 Canvas and WebGL APIs. - **Zero Server Storage**: We do not maintain server storage, databases, or cloud processing pipelines for user image files.
---
2. Information We Do Not Collect Because our architecture operates client-side: - We **do not collect** or view your uploaded images or document scans. - We **do not extract** or store EXIF metadata (GPS coordinates, camera models, dates). - We **do not require** user accounts, registration, email addresses, or payment details.
---
3. Cookies and Web Analytics PhotoResizer AI uses minimal privacy-respecting local storage keys strictly to remember user preference settings (such as selected theme or export preferences). We use aggregate, anonymized web metrics to understand site speed and usability without tracking individual user identities.
