Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 2026

Welcome to Free Pic Compressor, a digital platform proudly developed and operated by FaliXo Tech ("we," "us," or "our").

We built this platform to be a secure toolkit, and we take your digital privacy incredibly seriously. This policy explains exactly what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have over your own data. This applies to everyone worldwide (including users covered by the CCPA in the US and the GDPR in Europe) who visits our website and uses our tools.

1. How We Process Your Files & Uploads

Because you are trusting us with your personal photos, legal documents, and business data, we want to be 100% transparent about where your files actually go:

  1. Client-Side Processing (Local): The vast majority of our tools (including the Image Compressors, Resizers, Croppers, Format Converters, and Business Calculators) use advanced HTML5 and WebAssembly technology. This means your files are processed locally right inside your own web browser. They are never uploaded to, stored on, or transmitted through our servers.
  2. AI Tool Exceptions: A few advanced features, like our AI Background Remover, require heavy external processing power. When you use these specific AI tools, your image is temporarily sent to a secure API just to cut out the background. The exact second the process is complete, your file is permanently deleted from the server. We never store, view, or use your private images to train public AI models.

Information We Collect

While we do not collect or save the files you edit, we do collect a little bit of standard information to keep the website running:

  • Information You Voluntarily Provide: If you reach out to our support team directly via email or a contact form, we collect your name, email address, and whatever you wrote in your message so we can actually reply to you.
  • Automatically Collected Data (Usage Data): Like almost every website on the internet, our servers automatically record basic analytics when you visit. This includes your IP address, the browser you are using, your operating system, which pages you clicked on, and the time of your visit. This data is fully anonymized and just helps us fix bugs and see which tools are the most popular.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies (tiny text files saved on your browser) to make the site work and to keep the lights on:

  • Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary for the website to function properly.
  • Analytics Cookies: We use tools like Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our platform so we can improve it.
  • Advertising Cookies: Free Pic Compressor is 100% free because we partner with third-party ad networks (like Google AdSense). These networks use cookies to serve you relevant ads based on your prior visits to our site or others. You can easily opt out of personalized ads by visiting your Google Ads Settings.

How We Use Your Information

We only process your data to keep things running smoothly. Specifically, we use it to:

  • Operate and maintain our suite of free digital tools.
  • Improve the website and build new features you actually want.
  • Communicate with you if you request customer support.
  • Prevent fraudulent activity and keep our network secure.

5. Third-Party Services

We don't sell your data. We only share it with trusted third-party providers who help us run the site:

  1. Analytics Providers: Google Analytics.
  2. Advertising Partners: Google AdSense or similar ad networks.
  3. Cloud & API Providers: Secure servers used strictly to process our AI tools (with strict zero-retention policies, meaning they delete your files instantly).

6. Privacy Rights for Users in the USA (CCPA / CPRA)

If you live in California or other US states with comprehensive privacy laws, you own your data. Here is what you can ask us to do:

  • Right to Know: You can ask us what specific personal data we have collected about you.
  • Right to Delete: You can ask us to wipe your personal information from our system.
  • Right to Opt-Out: We never sell your personal info or your uploaded files. However, using advertising cookies can technically be considered "sharing" under some US laws. You can opt out of personalized ads through your browser settings at any time.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We will never block you from using our tools or lower the quality of our service just because you exercised your privacy rights.

7. Your Privacy Rights in Europe (GDPR & UK GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, we process your data under the lawful bases of legitimate interest and consent. You have the right to:

  • Right to Access: Request a copy of your personal data.
  • Rectification: Ask us to fix any info you think is wrong.
  • Erasure: Ask us to completely forget and delete your data.
  • Restrict or Port Data: Ask us to limit how we process your data, or transfer it to another organization.
  • Right to Data Portability: You can request that we transfer the data we have collected to another organization, or directly to you.

8. Data Security

We have put strong technical security measures in place to protect your info. Our website uses secure SSL encryption (HTTPS) so that any data moving between your browser and our site is totally safe. Just remember, no transmission over the internet is 100% bulletproof, but we do everything in our power to lock it down.

9. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our tools are built for a general audience (like freelancers, students, and professionals). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or 16 in the EEA). If we accidentally collect data from a child, we will delete it immediately.

10. International Data Transfers

Free Pic Compressor is operated globally. If you are accessing our tools from outside the United States, your standard analytics information may be transferred to and processed by our secure servers or third-party partners. We follow international standards to make sure your data stays protected no matter where you are.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

The internet moves fast, so we may update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect new legal requirements or site updates. We will always change the "Effective Date" at the top of the page when we do.
