Privacy policy
Last updated:
In short: your images never leave your device. ResizeFor has no accounts, sets no cookies and has no database. The only data that reaches a server is the standard information every website receives when you load a page, plus anonymous page-view statistics without cookies.
Who runs this site
ResizeFor is a free, non-commercial hobby project run by a private individual. It has no ads and earns no money.
Your images
Images you open in ResizeFor are decoded, cropped, resized, compressed and converted by your own browser. They are not uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else, including us. When you close or reload the page, they are gone.
Downloads are re-encoded from the pixels only, so metadata such as GPS location, camera model and capture time is not copied into the new file. The “Suggest crop” feature also runs entirely in your browser; it looks at detail, colour and contrast in the image and does not recognise or identify people.
What the web server receives
The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like every web host, it receives technical information when your browser requests a page: your IP address, browser and operating system (user agent), the page requested, the referring page and the time. This is needed to deliver the site and protect it against abuse. We don’t use it to identify or profile you.
Cloudflare may process this data outside the European Economic Area. Its privacy policy describes how long it keeps the data and the safeguards it uses.
Statistics
We look at the aggregate traffic statistics that Cloudflare derives from its server logs, such as the number of requests and unique visitors per day. These are totals; they don’t tell us who you are.
We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics. When a page loads, a small script from Cloudflare reports the page address (without any query string), the referring site, your browser type and how quickly the page loaded. It uses no cookies, local storage or fingerprinting and doesn’t follow you across websites. We only see totals, such as page views, visits, popular pages, referring sites and countries.
We don’t use any other analytics, advertising or tracking tools.
Cookies and local storage
ResizeFor sets no cookies and doesn’t use local storage or similar technologies. That is why there is no cookie banner.
Legal basis
Under the GDPR, the processing described above is based on our legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)) in delivering a secure, working website and understanding how it is used in aggregate. We don’t sell or share data with anyone else.
Your rights
You have the right to access, correct or delete personal data about you, and to object to its processing. ResizeFor itself doesn’t keep any data that could identify you, so there is nothing for us to look up, correct or delete. For the server logs and statistics described above, see Cloudflare’s privacy policy. You also have the right to complain to your national data protection authority.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with a new “last updated” date.
