We respect and protect your privacy.
This Privacy Policy explains how ImageLava.com handles your personal data when you use our tools and visit our website.

By using ImageLava.com, you agree to this policy.
If you do not agree, please stop using the site and its tools.

This policy is created in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable privacy laws.

ImageLava.com is designed to process most images locally in your browser.
That means we do not access, store, or analyze the content of your uploaded images.

However, to improve functionality, protect the site, and enable analytics or advertising, we may collect some non-personal and limited personal information.

We may collect:

• Usage data – such as your browser type, operating system, referral source, date/time of visit, and user interactions.

• IP address – for security, abuse prevention, and analytics.

• Cookies – to remember your preferences, improve UX, and deliver relevant content (see Cookie Policy).

• Voluntary data – if you contact us via email or form, e.g. feedback, donations, or support requests.

• Payment information – only if you use donation or premium services in the future, collected via secure third-party providers (like Stripe or PayPal).

We do not link this information to any personally identifiable user profile, unless required by law or for security investigations.

We use the limited information we collect only when necessary and always with respect for your privacy.

Here’s how your data may be used:

• To operate and maintain the website – ensuring tools work properly and the platform is technically functional.

• To analyze traffic and usage – we use anonymized analytics to improve performance and understand how users interact with the site.

• To improve user experience – remembering preferences or settings using cookies.

• To detect and prevent abuse or security threats – especially through IP checks and automated filters.

• To respond to user inquiries – if you contact us, we use your email address only to provide support or respond to your message.

• To manage donations or future premium features – payment details (if any) are processed securely by trusted third-party platforms and never stored on our servers.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), we process your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We rely on the following legal bases to process your data:

• Consent – when you voluntarily provide information (e.g. contact form, donation), or accept cookies.

• Legitimate interest – to analyze traffic, improve services, and ensure the security of our platform.

• Legal obligation – in case we are required to provide information for legal or regulatory reasons.

• Performance of a contract – if you enter into any paid service (e.g. premium zone), we process your data to deliver that service.

You have the right to withdraw consent at any time where consent is the legal basis.

We take your privacy seriously and strive to minimize data sharing.
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal data to third parties.

However, your data may be shared with trusted service providers, only when necessary to operate the website:

• Web hosting providers – to keep ImageLava.com online and functional.

• Analytics tools – such as Google Analytics or similar services (using anonymized data).

• Advertising platforms – like Google AdSense, to display ads and support free access to tools.

• Payment processors – if you make a donation or use premium services (e.g. PayPal, Stripe), your payment info is processed securely by them, not by us.

• Legal authorities – only if required by law, court order, or to prevent harm or illegal activity.

All third-party services we use are required to comply with applicable privacy regulations and handle your data responsibly.

We retain your data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law.

Specifically:

• Uploaded images – are not stored on our servers. Most processing is done locally in your browser, and files are deleted after you leave or refresh the page.

• Contact or support messages – are stored only as long as needed to resolve your request or inquiry.

• Analytics and usage data – are kept in aggregated and anonymized form for performance monitoring and improvement.

• Donation or payment-related data – may be retained by our payment processors in accordance with legal or tax obligations.

When data is no longer needed, it is either safely deleted or fully anonymized.

We regularly review the data we store to ensure we do not keep anything unnecessarily.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or a country with similar data protection laws, you have several important rights regarding your personal data.

These measures include:

• 🔐 HTTPS encryption – All communication with ImageLava.com is encrypted using SSL (Secure Socket Layer).

• 🧹 Regular cleanup – Temporary and log data is periodically reviewed and removed to reduce risk.

• 🔄 Security updates – We regularly update our software and services to address known vulnerabilities.

Despite these efforts, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection. However, we are committed to doing our best to safeguard your data at all times.
