Overview
IGY Apps ("we", "our", or "us") operates the igy-apps.com website and a suite of browser-based tools. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit our platform. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please stop using the platform.
Information we collect
We and our integrated analytics or advertising providers may automatically process limited usage data: approximate geographic region (country level), device and operating-system type, pages and tools used, and language or theme preferences. Providers may also process cookies or online identifiers under their own privacy policies. We do not ask for your name, email, or physical address unless you voluntarily send us a message.
Cookies and local storage
We use browser local storage — not traditional cookies — to remember your chosen language and colour-scheme preference across visits. No personal data is stored in local storage. Third-party advertising and analytics services integrated into the platform may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies. You can clear cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings.
File handling and server processing
Many tools on this platform run entirely inside your browser and never send files to any server. Tools that require server-side processing (for example, image resizing) upload files to a private temporary location, process them immediately, and delete the raw upload as soon as the task is complete. Processed output files are also removed automatically after a short retention window. We do not use uploaded content for any purpose other than delivering the requested result to you.
Third-party services
We integrate third-party services to operate and improve the platform, including Google Analytics, Google AdSense, and content-delivery providers. These providers may process usage data, cookies, IP-derived location, and online identifiers directly under their own privacy policies and applicable consent settings. IGY Apps does not sell personal information.
Advertising
Some pages on this platform may display advertisements served by Google AdSense or similar networks. Advertising partners may use cookies or device identifiers to show you relevant ads based on your browsing activity across websites. You can opt out of interest-based advertising through the settings provided by your browser or by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.
Children's privacy (COPPA)
This platform is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent, as required by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Advertising partners are required to comply with COPPA for child-directed content. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us immediately so we can delete it.
Data security
We apply industry-standard technical measures to protect information handled by the platform. Our site is served over HTTPS and file processing takes place in isolated, temporary storage. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, and we encourage you to avoid submitting sensitive personal information through any web-based tool.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable law — such as the GDPR or CCPA — to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you. Because we collect very little personal data, most requests can be resolved quickly. To exercise any of your rights, please contact us at [email protected] and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be published on this page with a revised date. Continued use of the platform after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We recommend checking this page periodically. For questions or concerns, please contact us at [email protected].
