Privacy Policy
WebP Shrink ("we", "our", or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and protected when you use our website and online image optimization tools.
1. Introduction
At WebP Shrink, accessible from https://webpshrink.in, the privacy of our visitors is one of our main priorities. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by WebP Shrink and how we handle it.
If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, please feel free to reach out to us using the contact details provided at the bottom of this document.
2. Information We Collect
When you visit and use WebP Shrink, we may collect limited technical data to optimize website stability and operational performance. This includes:
- Browser type, language preference, and device operating system.
- Internet Protocol (IP) address and approximate coarse location.
- Date and time stamp of your website visit.
- Referring URL / exit pages and user interaction metrics.
- Your name, email address, and message details if you voluntarily reach out via our Contact Page or direct email.
3. Information We Do NOT Collect (Strict Privacy Guarantee)
Our service is designed around zero server-side file interaction. We explicitly guarantee the following:
- No Image Uploads: Your images are NEVER uploaded to or processed on remote cloud servers.
- No Image Storage: We do not store, view, or retain any uploaded photos or graphics.
- No Content Inspection: We cannot access the visual content, EXIF metadata, or file names of your uploaded images.
- No Private Data Scraping: Personal documents, certificates, and ID cards compressed using our site stay isolated inside your device.
- No Server Backups: Because images never hit our backend, no cloud backups or copies are created.
4. How We Use Information
Any non-personally identifiable technical information collected is used strictly for the following operational purposes:
- To monitor, maintain, and optimize website performance and load speed.
- To identify technical glitches, broken links, or JavaScript errors across different web browsers.
- To protect our web infrastructure from malicious attacks, bot abuse, and DDoS attempts.
- To respond to user inquiries, technical questions, or privacy requests sent via our contact forms.
5. Image Processing & Data Security (Client-Side Processing)
We are completely transparent about how our tool functions. All image operations—including resizing, compression, and file format conversions (such as JPG to WebP or PNG to WebP)—happen 100% locally inside your web browser.
We accomplish this using modern HTML5 Canvas API and Client-Side JavaScript. The image file is read locally by your browser client, processed using your device’s own CPU/GPU hardware, and rendered locally for instant download. No network bandwidth transmits your files over the Internet to any backend destination.
6. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
WebP Shrink uses cookies to improve user experience. Cookies are small text files stored locally on your device by your browser.
Essential Cookies: Required for fundamental website navigation and security.
Functional Cookies: Help remember user UI preferences across site sessions.
Analytics & Performance Cookies: Used to understand how visitors interact with site pages (aggregated anonymous metrics).
You can disable or control cookies through your browser settings. To learn more about cookie management, visit your web browser's official support documentation.
7. Log Files
WebP Shrink follows standard web server logging procedures. These log files record visitors when they access websites—a standard feature of web hosting platforms. Log entries may include IP addresses, browser specs, Internet Service Providers (ISP), date/time stamps, referring pages, and click counts.
Log file data is not linked to any personally identifiable information. The purpose is strictly for monitoring system health, server load, and web traffic trends.
8. Third-Party Services
To deliver fast speeds, our site relies on trusted third-party technology providers:
- Google Fonts & Tailwind CDN: Used to render typography and responsive stylesheets efficiently.
- Secure Hosting & CDN Providers: Hosts static web assets and safeguards server availability via SSL encryption.
9. Google Advertising & Third-Party Ads
We may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising networks in the future. If advertising services such as Google AdSense are active or enabled, third-party vendors may use cookies (including the Google DART cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other websites on the Internet.
Users may opt-out of personalized advertising by visiting the Google Ads Settings page: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
10. Data Retention Policy
Standard anonymous web server access logs are retained for a limited duration (typically up to 30 to 90 days) for security diagnostic purposes, after which they are automatically overwritten or purged. Because uploaded images are processed locally within your client browser, zero image data is ever stored or retained.
11. Your User Rights
Depending on your location, you hold privacy rights regarding personal information you share with us (e.g., via contact emails):
- Right of Access: Request details about personal data held about you.
- Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate contact information.
- Right to Erasure: Request permanent deletion of contact messages or communications sent to us.
12. Security Measures
We prioritize security across our website architecture. WebP Shrink enforces HTTPS (TLS/SSL encryption) across all pages, ensuring all data transferred between your browser and our site is encrypted. Combined with our client-side processing model, your private files remain completely safe on your physical device.
13. Children's Privacy
Protecting children online is paramount. WebP Shrink does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13. If you believe your child has provided personal information on our site, please contact us immediately so we can promptly remove it.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological updates or legal requirements. Any modifications will be posted directly on this page alongside an updated "Last Updated" date at the top.
15. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

No. All image resizing, compression, and conversion processes occur 100% locally inside your web browser. Your images are never sent to or saved on any remote cloud server.
Is image compression on WebP Shrink secure for private documents?
Yes, completely. Because the processing runs locally on your device via HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript, sensitive photos, signatures, and ID cards never leave your device.
