Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 7, 2026

miniPhotoShop ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit our website at miniphotoshop.site and use our free online image editing tools.

1. Information We Collect

A. Information processed client-side (not collected by us)

All image data and editing operations happen entirely in your browser. We do not collect, receive, store, or access:

• Images you upload, edit, or create.
• Your editing history or project files.
• Any personal information unless you voluntarily email us.

B. Automatically collected information (via third parties)

When you visit our website, certain information is automatically collected by third-party services:

• Google Analytics may collect anonymized usage data such as pages visited, time spent on pages, referral sources, browser type, device type, and general geographic location (country/city level).
• Google AdSense may collect information through cookies and similar technologies to serve and measure advertisements, including ad views, clicks, and basic demographic/interest data.

See Section 6 for details on third-party services.

C. Information you voluntarily provide

If you email us directly, we will receive your email address and any information you include in your message. This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties.

2. How We Use Information

We use the limited data described above for the following purposes:

• Website operation — to serve, maintain, and improve the Website.
• Analytics — to understand how visitors use the Website (via Google Analytics) so we can improve content and features.
• Advertising — to display ads and generate revenue that supports the free service (via Google AdSense).
• Communication — to respond to emails and inquiries you send us.
• Security — to detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse.

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to any third party.

3. Local Storage and Cookies

A. Local storage (by miniPhotoShop)

miniPhotoShop may use browser localStorage to save your preferences (such as language settings and theme choice). This data is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to our server or any external server.

B. Cookies (by third parties)

Third-party services displayed on our site use cookies and similar tracking technologies:

• Google Analytics cookies (e.g., _ga, _gid) to distinguish users and collect anonymized usage statistics.
• Google AdSense cookies to serve relevant ads and limit how often you see the same ad.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect the functionality of advertisements but will not affect the core image editor.

C. Consent and Google Consent Mode

When you first visit the site, a consent banner asks you to accept or decline non-essential cookies before any non-essential ad or analytics tags load. Your choice is stored in your browser's localStorage under mps_consent. We use Google Consent Mode, which keeps essential functionality working while ad and analytics tags remain fully disabled until you accept. You can change your mind at any time by clearing your browser's site data or by contacting us.

4. Children's Privacy

miniPhotoShop does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13. The Service is not directed at children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us at kimkasekai@gmail.com.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the security of the Website and any information processed through it. Because miniPhotoShop operates on a client-side architecture, the majority of user activity (all image editing) occurs entirely on your device and is never transmitted over the internet.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect the Website, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Third-Party Services

miniPhotoShop uses the following third-party services that may collect or process data:

A. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Website. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymized data. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

B. Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements that help fund the free service. Google AdSense uses cookies and tracking technologies to serve personalized ads. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can manage ad personalization at Google Ads Settings.

You may also opt out of personalized advertising by visiting optout.aboutads.info or optout.networkadvertising.org.

C. ads.txt

miniPhotoShop participates in the IAB ads.txt standard to ensure that only authorized sellers display advertisements on our Website. You can view our ads.txt file at miniphotoshop.site/ads.txt.

7. Your Privacy Rights

8. International Data Transfers

miniPhotoShop is operated from servers that may be located outside your country of residence. Third-party services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense) process data on servers worldwide. Where you have consented through our consent banner, data may be transferred to countries that have different data protection rules than your country. If you do not consent, no non-essential cookies or tags are activated.

Where required, Google relies on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other appropriate data transfer mechanisms to ensure adequate protection for data transfers outside the EEA.

9. Data Retention

Because miniPhotoShop is a client-side application, we do not store your image data at all. Any data we receive is limited to what is described in Section 1.

Third-party data retention periods:

• Google Analytics: Data is retained for 26 months by default (anonymized).
• Google AdSense: Cookie-based data has varying expiration periods (typically 2 weeks to 1 year). You can manage retention through your ad settings.

If you email us, we retain your correspondence for as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, and for a reasonable period afterward for reference purposes.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Website after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

11. Third-Party Links

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

12. Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of your applicable jurisdiction, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from this Privacy Policy shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in the applicable jurisdiction.
