Niche Photo Tools Statement on Privacy

Last updated: July 17, 2026

Informal Privacy Philosophy Summary:

Before this policy begins in earnest I want to simply lay out my philosophy around data collection and retention in plain English. It is my goal with this site to provide useful tools to users for free and with as little data collection as possible. For example no sign in or identification is required to use the site, and all data processing is done on browser so that the site never even sees the files you upload. This site does, however, run ads and link to other services, the content of which I do not control. I cannot guarantee that these external sites have similar data policies or philosophies.

Niche Photo Tools Legally Binding Privacy Policy:

This Privacy Policy describes how NichePhotoTools.com (the "Site", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your personal information when you visit, or use our services.

1. Information We Collect

Device Information

When you access the Site, we automatically collect certain information about your device. This includes:

Log files: IP address, browser type, internet service provider, and operating system.
Time stamps: Date and time of your visit and pages viewed.
Tracking data: Unique device identifiers and cookies.

No Uploaded File Data Collected:

We do not collect, store, or process any images or files you upload to the Site. All image manipulation and tool processing occur locally within your web browser. Your files are never transmitted to our servers.

2. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Essential Cookies:

We use cookies to maintain basic site functionality and remember your preferences.

Third-Party Cookies:

Our advertising partners and analytics providers use cookies to serve targeted ads and analyze web traffic. You can manage cookie preferences through your individual browser settings.

Cookie Consent Banner:

When you first visit our Site, a cookie consent banner will appear allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies used for advertising and analytics. If you decline, these third-party tracking scripts will not be loaded.

3. How We Use Your Information

Site Optimization:

We use device information to maintain site security, fix bugs, and optimize performance.

Advertising:

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit the Site. These companies use information about your visits to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

4. Disclosure of Information

Service Providers:

We share device data with analytics providers (like Google Analytics) to understand how users interact with the Site.

Advertising Partners:

We share technical identifiers with ad networks to facilitate programmatic advertising.

Legal Requirements:

We may disclose any information we do have if required by law, regulation, or court order.

5. Third-Party Links

External Content:

The Site contains links to external websites.

No Control:

We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

6. Data Security

Protection Measures:

We implement standard security measures to protect your device data from unauthorized access or alteration.

Local Processing Risk:

Because your files never leave your browser, you are responsible for the security of the local device processing the images.

7. Your Privacy Rights and Identity Verification

Regional Rights:

Depending on your location (such as the EU under GDPR or California under CCPA), you may have the right to access, delete, or limit the use of your device data.

Identification Limitations:

Because we do not require accounts, logins, or names, we store no personal identities in our database. We are unable to link technical logs or cookie IDs to a specific individual's name. As a result, we cannot fulfill manual deletion or access requests tied to a real-world identity.

Opting Out - How to Exercise Your Rights:

You can opt out of targeted advertising by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or adjusting your browser settings.
To fully exercise your privacy rights on this Site, you must manage your data locally:
- Clear your browser cache and cookies to delete local tracking identifiers.
- Adjust your browser settings to block third-party cookies.
- Use privacy signals like Global Privacy Control (GPC) to automatically opt out of ad tracking.

Updates:

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons.
