Our Privacy Promise
At Image to Word Converter, we are committed to protecting your privacy. Our tool processes images locally in your browser - your files never leave your device and we never store your images or extracted text on our servers.
1. Information We Collect
We believe in minimal data collection. Here's what we do and don't collect:
| Data Type | Collected | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Uploaded Images | ❌ No | Processed locally in your browser, never sent to our servers |
| Extracted Text | ❌ No | Remains in your browser, never stored by us |
| Personal Information | ❌ No | We don't require registration or collect personal data |
| Usage Analytics | ✅ Yes (Anonymous) | To improve our service (number of conversions, errors, etc.) |
| Technical Information | ✅ Yes (Anonymous) | Browser type, device type, general location (country level) |
2. How We Process Your Data
Local Processing: All image processing happens directly in your web browser using JavaScript. Your images are converted to text without ever being transmitted to our servers.
How It Works
When you upload an image to our converter, the entire processing happens locally on your device. The image is loaded into your browser's memory, processed by our OCR engine, and the text extraction occurs without any data being sent over the internet to our servers.
Anonymous Analytics: We collect anonymous usage data to help us understand how our service is used and to make improvements. This data cannot be traced back to individual users.
3. Cookies and Tracking
We use a minimal approach to cookies:
- Essential Cookies: Required for the basic functionality of our service
- Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site (anonymous)
- No Advertising Cookies: We don't use cookies for advertising or tracking across sites
Third-Party Cookies
We don't use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. Any analytics we use are first-party and anonymized.
4. Data Security
We take your privacy and security seriously:
- Local Processing: Your data never leaves your device
- No Storage: We don't store your images or extracted text
- HTTPS Encryption: Our website uses secure HTTPS connections
