Privacy Policy

1. Overview

img2gradient (“we”, “our”, or “the Service”) is a client-side tool that processes images entirely in your browser. We do not upload, store, or transmit your images to any server. This policy explains what information we collect and how it is used.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Data we DO NOT collect

• Your images — all processing happens locally on your device.
• Personal identification information (name, email, etc.).
• Account credentials — there is no login or registration.

2.2 Data we may collect

• Usage data via cookies and similar technologies— we use Google AdSense to serve advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• Local Storage— we store a small cache of recently-processed image color data in your browser's localStorage to avoid re-processing the same image. This data never leaves your device.

3. Third-Party Services

3.1 Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on user interests. These cookies do not contain personally identifiable information. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits. Google's use of the DoubleClick cookie enables it and its partners to serve ads to you. You may opt out of the DoubleClick cookie by visiting Google's Advertising Policy page.

4. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use the following types:

• Essential cookies — required for the website to function (e.g., storing your cookie consent preference).
• Advertising cookies — set by Google AdSense to deliver relevant advertisements and measure ad performance.
• Analytics cookies — set by Google to understand ad performance and website usage patterns.

You can disable cookies via your browser settings at any time.

5. GDPR Compliance

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, we adhere to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

• Lawful basis — we rely on consent for non-essential cookies and legitimate interest for essential functionality.
• Your rights — you have the right to access, rectify, or delete any personal data we may hold. You also have the right to withdraw consent for cookies at any time.
• Data retention — localStorage cache data is kept only on your device. You can clear it through your browser settings.

6. CCPA / CPRA Compliance

For California residents, you have the right to know what personal information is collected, to opt out of the sale of personal information, and to request deletion of your data. Since we do not collect, store, or sell personal information, no action is needed. To opt out of Google's personalized advertising, visit Google Ads Settings.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
