Privacy Policy

Last Updated: June 19, 2025

Our Privacy Commitment

At Circle Crop, we are committed to protecting your privacy. Our circle image cropping tool is designed with privacy-first principles, ensuring your images and personal data remain secure.

Local Processing Guarantee

Information We Don't Collect

Because our circle crop tool processes everything locally, we do NOT collect:

• Your uploaded images or files
• Image metadata or EXIF information
• File names or content
• Cropping history or preferences
• Personal identification information from image processing

Information We Do Collect

We only collect minimal, anonymous data to improve our service:

• Page views and general usage statistics
• Browser type and version (anonymous)
• Device type (desktop/mobile) - anonymous
• General geographic location (country level only)
• Error logs for service improvement
• Performance metrics

How Our Circle Crop Tool Works

Our circle image cropper operates entirely in your browser using JavaScript:

• You select images from your device
• Our tool displays the image in a circular crop interface
• You adjust position and zoom level as needed
• Processing happens entirely in your browser
• Download links are generated locally - no server involvement
• Your original and cropped images remain on your device only

Cookies and Local Storage

We use minimal cookies and local storage for:

• Remembering your cropping preferences
• Website functionality and user experience
• Anonymous analytics (with IP anonymization)
• No image data or personal information stored in cookies

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings without affecting image processing functionality.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Analytics for anonymous website usage statistics (IP addresses anonymized)
• Content Delivery Networks (CDN) for faster website loading - only serve website assets, never your images
• No third-party image processing services - everything happens locally

Data Security

Since your images are processed locally and never uploaded:

• No risk of server breaches affecting your images
• No data transmission vulnerabilities
• Complete control over your image data
• No server-side storage means no data retention risks
• HTTPS encryption for website browsing

Children's Privacy

Our circle crop tool is safe for users of all ages. Since we don't collect personal information or store images, there are no special privacy concerns for children using our image cropper.

• No image uploads means no privacy risks for any age group
• Local processing ensures complete data control
• No personal information collection from any users

Your Rights and Choices

You have complete control over your data:

• All image processing happens on your device
• You can clear browser data to remove any stored preferences
• You can disable cookies in your browser settings
• You can opt out of analytics using browser extensions
• No need to request data deletion since we don't store your images

International Users

Our local processing approach means your image data never crosses borders. Whether you're cropping images from the US, EU, or anywhere else, your data stays on your device in your jurisdiction.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy occasionally. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Given our local processing approach, most changes will be minor clarifications rather than substantial policy changes.
