Privacy Policy

1. Core Privacy Principle: Client-Side Processing

Your photos never leave your device. PhotoEditBuddy is built using modern web technologies (WebAssembly and Canvas) that allow all photo editing to happen locally within your web browser. When you "upload" a photo to our editor, it is loaded into your browser's memory, not sent to our servers. We do not store, view, or share your images.

2. Information We Collect

Since we do not require user accounts, we collect very minimal data:

• Log Files: Like many other websites, PhotoEditBuddy makes use of log files. These files merely log visitors to the site - usually a standard procedure for hosting companies and a part of hosting services' analytics. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks.
• Usage Data: We may collect anonymous usage statistics (e.g., which tools are most popular) to help us improve the application. This data is not linked to any personally identifiable information.

3. Cookies and Web Beacons

PhotoEditBuddy uses "cookies" to store information including visitors' preferences (such as dark/light mode settings). The information is used to optimize the users' experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser type and/or other information.

4. Third-Party Privacy Policies

PhotoEditBuddy's Privacy Policy does not apply to other advertisers or websites. Thus, we are advising you to consult the respective Privacy Policies of these third-party ad servers for more detailed information. It may include their practices and instructions about how to opt-out of certain options.

We may use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on PhotoEditBuddy. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to www.photoeditbuddy.com and other sites on the internet. Users may opt-out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network Privacy Policy.

5. CCPA Privacy Rights (Do Not Sell My Personal Information)

Under the CCPA, among other rights, California consumers have the right to:
Request that a business that collects a consumer's personal data disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data that a business has collected about consumers.
Request that a business delete any personal data about the consumer that a business has collected.
Request that a business that sells a consumer's personal data, not sell the consumer's personal data.
If you make a request, we have one month to respond to you. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us.

6. GDPR Data Protection Rights

We would like to make sure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following:
The right to access – You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
The right to rectification – You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
The right to erasure – You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
The right to restrict processing – You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
The right to object to processing – You have the right to object to our processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
The right to data portability – You have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.

7. Children's Information

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity. PhotoEditBuddy does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13.
