Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
Our Commitment to Privacy
BASE64IMAGE is committed to protecting your privacy. Unlike many online tools, we process all data entirely in your browser using JavaScript. This means your images, Base64 strings, and any other data you work with never leave your device.
No Data Collection from Tools
We do not collect, store, or transmit any of the following when you use our tools:
- Images you upload or decode
- Base64 strings you paste or generate
- File names or metadata
- Any content you process through our tools
Your images and Base64 data are processed entirely in your browser and never leave your device.
How Our Tools Work
All BASE64IMAGE tools run entirely in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. When you upload an image or paste a Base64 string:
- Your browser reads and processes the data locally
- No network requests are made to our servers or any third party
- All processing happens in your device's memory
- Results are displayed instantly without any data leaving your device
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage statistics to help us understand how visitors use our website and improve our services. Google Analytics may collect the following information:
- Pages you visit on our website
- Time spent on pages
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
- Approximate geographic location (country/city level)
- Referral source (how you found our website)
Important: Google Analytics does NOT collect, access, or transmit any of your images, Base64 strings, or tool-related data. It only tracks general website navigation and usage patterns.
Google Analytics uses cookies to track user sessions. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by:
- Using browser extensions like Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser settings
- Blocking third-party cookies in your browser
For more information about how Google collects and processes data, please review Google's Privacy Policy.
Third-Party Resources
In addition to Google Analytics, we load the following external resources:
- Font Awesome: Icon library loaded from a CDN for visual elements
- Alpine.js: Lightweight JavaScript framework loaded from a CDN (for interactive tools)
These libraries run entirely in your browser and do not transmit any of your tool data to external servers.
Cookies
We use cookies only for Google Analytics tracking purposes. These cookies help us understand website usage patterns and do not store any personal information or tool-related data (images, Base64 strings, etc.).
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies will not affect the functionality of our Base64 tools, as they operate entirely client-side.
Local Storage
We do not use local storage or session storage to store your data. Each tool session is completely isolated, and when you close your browser tab, no trace of your processed data remains.
Server Logs
Our web server may collect standard server logs for security and performance monitoring purposes. These logs may include:
- IP address
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Date and time of access
- Pages visited
However, these logs do not contain any of your images, Base64 data, or uploaded content. They are used solely for maintaining the security and availability of the website.
Security
Because all processing happens in your browser and no data is transmitted to our servers, your data is as secure as your own device. We recommend:
- Using HTTPS (which we enforce) to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks
- Keeping your browser updated to the latest version
- Using trusted networks when working with sensitive data
Children's Privacy
Our website does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. Because we do not collect or store any data, we cannot inadvertently collect information from children.
Your Rights
Because we do not collect, store, or process any personal data, there is no data for you to access, modify, or delete. You maintain complete control over your data by virtue of it never leaving your device.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
