Privacy Policy

CompressoPanda ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website compressopanda.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our service. By using CompressoPanda, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

CompressoPanda is designed with a privacy-first architecture. All image processing happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. This means:

• Images are never uploaded to our servers. All compression, resizing, conversion, and editing happens locally on your device. We cannot see, access, or store your images at any point.
• No personal information is required. You do not need to create an account, provide an email address, or enter any personal details to use our tools.
• Anonymous analytics. We may collect anonymous, aggregated usage data such as page views, tool usage statistics, and general geographic regions to improve our service. This data cannot be used to identify individual users.

2. Cookies

CompressoPanda uses a minimal number of cookies for essential site functionality:

• •Essential cookies: Required for the website to function properly, such as remembering your theme preference or consent choices.
• •Analytics cookies: Used to understand how visitors interact with our website in an anonymized, aggregated manner. We do not use cookies to track individual users across sessions or websites.
• •Advertising cookies: Third-party advertising services (such as Google AdSense) may use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve personalized ads based on your browsing history. Google's advertising cookies enable advertisers to display ads that are relevant to you. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or by visiting Google's Ad Preferences. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features of the website.

3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect information:

• •Google Analytics: For anonymous website traffic analysis. Data is aggregated and cannot identify individual users. Learn more at Google's Privacy Policy.
• •Google AdSense: For displaying advertisements. Google may use cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) to serve personalized ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

These third-party services have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them. We do not share any personal data with third parties because we do not collect personal data in the first place.

4. Data Security

We take the security of our service seriously. Since all image processing happens in your browser, your files are inherently protected from server-side breaches. Our website uses HTTPS encryption to ensure all data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted and secure.

While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect any information, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. However, our client-side processing architecture ensures that your images are never at risk of being intercepted during processing because they never leave your device.

6. RGPD (GDPR) Compliance

CompressoPanda complies with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR/RGPD). We are committed to protecting the privacy and personal data of all users, including those within the European Economic Area (EEA).

• Right to Access & Rectification: Since CompressoPanda does not collect personal data, these rights are inherently protected. We have no personal data to access, rectify, or restrict.
• Right to Erasure: As we do not collect or store personal data, there is no personal data to erase. Your images are processed locally and never reach our servers.
• Legal Basis for Data Processing: Our processing of anonymous, aggregated analytics data is based on legitimate interest. The use of cookies requires and relies on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time through your browser settings.
• Client-Side Processing: Since all image processing occurs entirely in your browser, no personal data is transferred to our servers. This architecture inherently aligns with GDPR's data minimization principle.

7. CCPA Compliance

CompressoPanda complies with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). We are committed to transparency about our data practices and to upholding the rights of California residents.

• Right to Know: You have the right to know what personal information we collect. Since we only collect anonymous, aggregated analytics data, there is no personal information tied to any individual user.
• Right to Delete: Since we do not collect personal information, there is no personal data to delete. Your images are processed locally and never stored on our servers.
• Right to Opt-Out of Sale: We do not sell personal information. This right is inherently protected because no personal data is collected or shared with third parties for monetary or other valuable consideration.
• Categories of Information Collected: We only collect anonymous, aggregated analytics data such as page views and general usage statistics. No personally identifiable information is collected.

California residents' rights are inherently protected due to our privacy-first architecture. For CCPA-related requests, please contact us at: hello@compressopanda.com

8. Children's Privacy

CompressoPanda is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since our service does not require any personal information to use and all processing happens locally, children's privacy is inherently protected. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.
