Privacy Policy

Welcome to OverlayImages. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our image overlay tool.

Unlike many online services, we prioritize your privacy by NOT collecting:

• Your Images: All images remain on your device and are never uploaded to our servers
• Personal Information: No names, email addresses, or contact details are required
• Account Data: No registration or login is needed to use our service
• Payment Information: Our service is completely free
• Behavioral Tracking: We do not track your activity across other websites

We collect minimal information solely to improve our service:

Type of Data	Purpose	Retention
Page views	Understanding which features are popular	Aggregated monthly
Browser type	Ensuring compatibility	Aggregated monthly
Device type	Optimizing for different screens	Aggregated monthly
Error logs	Fixing technical issues	30 days

This data is collected anonymously and cannot be used to identify you personally.

Our image processing technology works entirely within your web browser using JavaScript and HTML5 Canvas APIs:

• Images are loaded directly from your device into browser memory
• All overlay, blending, and filter operations happen client-side
• Downloaded images are generated locally and saved directly to your device
• Once you close or refresh the page, all image data is cleared from memory

We use minimal browser storage to enhance your experience:

Essential Cookies:

• Theme Preference: Remembers if you prefer light or dark mode
• Session State: Temporarily stores your workspace settings during use

Local Storage:

• Used only for saving your theme preference (light/dark mode)
• No personal or image data is ever stored

You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings without affecting the core functionality of our service.

We use minimal third-party services:

Content Delivery Network (CDN):

• Cloudflare CDN for loading the Fabric.js library
• This improves loading speed but doesn't access your images

Analytics (Optional):

• If enabled, we may use privacy-focused analytics (like Plausible or Fathom)
• These services do not use cookies or track personal information
• They only provide aggregated, anonymous usage statistics

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any advertising trackers.

We implement multiple security measures:

• HTTPS Encryption: All connections to our site are encrypted
• No Data Storage: Since we don't store your images, there's no risk of data breaches
• Regular Security Updates: We keep our website and libraries updated
• No User Accounts: No passwords or personal data to protect

You have complete control over your data:

• Access: All processing happens on your device, so you always have access to your data
• Deletion: Simply closing the browser tab removes all image data from memory
• Portability: Downloaded images are yours to use anywhere
• Opt-out: You can disable cookies and still use our service fully
• No Tracking: We don't track you, so there's nothing to opt out of

OverlayImages is a general audience service. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13 years of age. Since we don't collect personal information from any users, children can safely use our service under parental supervision.

Our service is available globally and complies with international privacy standards:

GDPR Compliance (European Users):

• We don't collect personal data, so GDPR requirements are minimally applicable
• Any analytics data is anonymized and aggregated

CCPA Compliance (California Users):

• We don't sell personal information
• We don't collect personal information to sell

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by:

• Updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy
• Adding a notice on our homepage for significant changes
• Maintaining a changelog of policy updates

Continued use of our service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

We believe in transparency:

• Our image processing runs on open-source libraries
• You can inspect our JavaScript code directly in your browser
• We're committed to maintaining privacy-first principles
