Privacy Policy

Information We Don't Collect

Unlike most online services, Pixaro operates with a privacy-first approach. Here's what we explicitly DO NOT collect:

• Your Photos: Images you edit never leave your device. They are not uploaded to any server.
• Personal Information: No account creation means no names, emails, or passwords collected.
• Editing History: Your adjustments, presets, and edit history are stored locally in your browser only.
• Location Data: We don't track or store your geographic location.
• Device Information: No device fingerprinting or unique identifiers are collected.

How Pixaro Works

Client-Side Processing

Pixaro is a single-page application that runs entirely in your browser using modern web technologies:

• When you load a photo, it's read directly from your computer into browser memory
• All editing operations use WebGL shaders that run on your GPU
• AI-powered features use TensorFlow.js running locally in your browser
• When you export an image, it's saved directly to your downloads folder

No server communication occurs during the editing process.

Local Storage

Pixaro uses your browser's local storage to save:

• Your custom presets (stored locally, never synced)
• UI preferences (theme, panel positions)
• Recent edit history (for undo/redo functionality)

This data remains on your device and can be cleared at any time using your browser's settings or Pixaro's built-in clear data option.

Information We May Collect

Anonymous Analytics (Optional)

If analytics are enabled, we may collect anonymous usage statistics to improve the application:

• Page views and feature usage (no personal identification)
• Browser type and version (for compatibility improvements)
• Performance metrics (load times, rendering speeds)
• Error logs (to fix bugs and improve stability)

Important: This data is completely anonymous and cannot be traced back to you or your photos.

Third-Party Services

Pixaro may use the following third-party services:

• CDN Services: For fast delivery of application files
• Analytics: Google Analytics (if enabled) - see their privacy policy

Cookies and Tracking

Pixaro uses minimal cookies:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the application to function (session management)
• Preference Cookies: Remember your UI settings and preferences
• Analytics Cookies: If you consent, for anonymous usage statistics

We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Data Security

Since your photos never leave your device, they're as secure as your computer. We take additional security measures:

• HTTPS encryption for all application files
• Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to prevent XSS attacks
• Regular security audits and dependency updates
• No third-party scripts with access to your photo data

Children's Privacy

Pixaro does not collect personal information from anyone. Since no registration is required and no data is collected, users of all ages can safely use the application.

Your Rights and Choices

You have complete control over your data:

• Clear Local Data: Delete all stored presets and preferences at any time
• Disable Analytics: Block analytics cookies through your browser settings
• Use Ad Blockers: We respect your choice to block advertisements
• Private Browsing: Use incognito/private mode for zero data persistence

Changes to This Policy

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

• No personal data is collected or processed
• No data transfers outside the EU occur (everything stays on your device)
