Privacy Policy

Effective date: June 5, 2026

Circle Crop Image ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at circle-crop-image.net. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you when you use our online image tools and related pages.

What We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

1. Usage data

   • Pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location derived from IP address, browser type, device type, and interaction events used to understand site performance and improve the product.

2. Technical data

   • IP address, request headers, cookies, local storage values, crash logs, and diagnostic information required to secure the service, prevent abuse, and operate the website.

3. Account and billing data

   • If you create an account or make a purchase, we may collect your email address, authentication details from your login provider, order information, and payment-related metadata required to process transactions and support your account.

4. Images you choose to process

   • Our circle crop tool is designed to process images in your browser. We do not intentionally store uploaded images on our servers for the basic browser-based crop workflow. If a specific feature explicitly states that server-side processing is used, the image is processed only for that request and retained only as needed to deliver the feature, prevent abuse, or troubleshoot failures.

How We Use Information

• operate and secure the website;
• provide image editing features and downloads;
• authenticate users and process orders;
• measure performance, diagnose errors, and improve usability;
• comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

• to comply with law or valid legal process;
• to protect our rights, users, or the public;
• in connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset transfer.
