Introduction

AImageResize ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our image resizing service.

Information We Collect

We collect minimal personal information necessary to provide our service:

• Account Information: When you sign in with Google, we collect your email address and basic profile information for authentication purposes.
• Usage Data: We track your usage (number of AI generations) to enforce your credit limits and provide accurate billing.
• Technical Data: Standard web analytics data like IP address, browser type, and referral sources for service improvement.

Image Processing & Privacy

Your privacy is our top priority when it comes to image processing:

• No Storage: We do not store your uploaded images on our servers after processing is complete.
• Temporary Processing: Images are temporarily processed in memory during your session and are deleted when you close the browser tab or navigate away.
• AI Processing: When using our AI resize feature, images are sent securely to our Gemini API proxy for outpainting, but are not stored by Google beyond what's necessary for the API call.
• End-to-End Encryption: All data transmissions use HTTPS encryption.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to:

• Provide and maintain our service
• Authenticate your account and manage your credits
• Communicate with you about service updates or important notices
• Improve our service based on usage patterns and feedback
• Prevent fraud and ensure security

Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share information in these limited circumstances:

• Service Providers: With trusted third parties who assist us in operating our service (Firebase for authentication, Vercel for hosting).
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, regulation, or legal process (such as a subpoena or court order).
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, provided the successor entity agrees to uphold this Privacy Policy.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as for tax, accounting, or legal compliance purposes).

While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
