Privacy Policy

Your privacy is our priority. Learn how we protect your data.

Last updated: 8/4/2025
Privacy-First Approach

Pixmize is built with privacy as a core principle. We believe your images and personal data should remain private and secure.

🔄 Hybrid Processing Approach

Pixmize uses both client-side processing and secure cloud-based processing via ImageKit.io to provide the best performance and quality. We prioritize your privacy in both methods.

What Data We Collect

Images and Files

Client-Side Processing

For basic operations, images are processed entirely in your browser and never leave your device.

Cloud Processing via ImageKit.io

For advanced operations, images are processed through ImageKit.io's secure API:

  • Images are transmitted securely via HTTPS
  • ImageKit.io processes and stores images according to their retention policies
  • Images may be retained by ImageKit.io as per their standard practices
  • No images are stored by Pixmize on our own servers

User Account Information

When you create an account, we collect and store:

  • Email address and profile information
  • Authentication data (managed by Clerk)
  • Subscription and usage data
  • Account preferences and settings

This information is necessary to provide account services, and deliver premium features.

Usage Analytics

We may collect anonymous usage statistics to improve our service, including:

  • Page views and feature usage
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type (desktop/mobile)
  • General geographic location (country level)
  • Processing method used (client-side vs cloud)

This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify individual users.

Local Storage

We may store user preferences (like theme settings and processing preferences) in your browser's local storage. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

How We Protect Your Data

Client-Side Processing
