Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to ImageEnigma. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our practices. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our steganography tool.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Because ImageEnigma operates entirely in your browser:

• ✅ We do NOT collect your uploaded images
• ✅ We do NOT collect your secret messages
• ✅ We do NOT collect your passwords
• ✅ We do NOT collect your encoded/decoded images
• ✅ We do NOT store any of your data on our servers

All image processing, encoding, and decoding happens locally in your web browser. Your secrets stay with you.

3. Information We May Collect

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

• Usage Analytics

  Anonymous usage statistics (like page views, feature usage) through privacy-focused analytics tools. This data cannot identify you personally.

• Error Reports

  If the application encounters an error, we may collect anonymous error reports to help us fix bugs. These reports contain no personal information or image data.

• Browser Information

  Basic browser type, version, and screen resolution to ensure compatibility and optimize performance.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal cookies for essential functionality:

• Session Cookies

  Temporary cookies that help the application function properly during your visit. These are deleted when you close your browser.

• Preference Cookies

  Cookies that remember your theme preference (light/dark mode) and other settings.

• No Tracking Cookies

  We do not use third-party tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or any cookies that track you across websites.

5. Third-Party Services

We use a few trusted third-party services:

• Hosting Provider

  Our website is hosted on Cloudflare Workers. They may collect basic connection data (IP address, request timestamps) for security and performance purposes.

• Analytics

  We may use privacy-focused analytics tools that respect "Do Not Track" signals and collect minimal, anonymous data.

6. Data Security

We implement several security measures:

• Local Processing

  Your data never leaves your browser, providing the highest level of security.

• HTTPS Encryption

  All communication with our website is encrypted using TLS/SSL.

• Regular Security Updates

  We keep all software and dependencies updated to protect against vulnerabilities.

7. Your Rights

You have the following rights regarding your data:

• Right to Access

  You can request information about what data we collect (though we collect very little).

• Right to Deletion

  Since we don't store your personal data, there's nothing to delete from our servers.

• Right to Opt-Out

  You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features may not work properly.

• Right to Complain

  You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

8. Children's Privacy

ImageEnigma is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete such information.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of ImageEnigma after changes constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
