Privacy policy

Effective date: October 7, 2026

Your photos stay on your device

When you select photos in the Photo To Collage editor, they are decoded, arranged, edited, and exported entirely within your web browser using standard browser APIs such as Canvas, File, Blob, and object URLs. At no point during this process are your photos — or any data derived from them — transmitted to a Photo To Collage server or any third-party service.

This means your personal photos, family images, and creative projects remain completely under your control. We cannot see, access, or recover the photos you work with in the editor.

Information we do not collect

The collage editor does not need an account or access to a server-side photo library. Website analytics, hosting requests and support email are separate from photo processing. Specifically, we do not:

• Require you to create an account or sign in
• Upload, transmit, or store your photos on any server
• Record your file names, image metadata, or EXIF data
• Send selected photo files, image pixels or collage contents to analytics
• Collect payment information (the service is free)
• Place your photos or their derivatives in URLs, cookies, or local storage

Temporary browser resources

The editor creates temporary object URLs so your browser can display the photos you have selected. These are short-lived references held in browser memory — they are not stored persistently. Object URLs are revoked automatically when photos are removed from the editor, the project is reset, or you close or navigate away from the editor tab.

Canvas elements are used to render your collage preview and to generate the final exported image. This processing occurs in your browser's rendering engine and does not involve any network communication.

Hosting and server logs

Photo To Collage is served as a static website. Our hosting provider may automatically process standard request information to deliver and protect the site. This may include:

• Your IP address
• Browser type and version (user agent string)
• The pages you request and their timestamps
• Referring URL

These hosting logs are generated by the web server infrastructure, not by the collage editor. They do not contain your selected photo files, image data, or any content you create in the editor.

Cookies and local storage

The collage editor does not require account or session cookies to process photos. The website uses Google Analytics, which sets its own cookies to measure visits, as described in the Analytics section below.

The editor does not persist source photos, collage projects or preferences in local storage, session storage or IndexedDB. Closing the tab ends the editing session.

For more detailed information about cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google, to understand how many people visit Photo To Collage, which pages they view, and how they found the site. Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (such as_ga) and collects information such as the pages you visit, approximate location, device and browser type, referring website, and campaign parameters. Google processes this information under its own terms and privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.

Analytics never receives your photos, image data, file names, EXIF metadata, or collage contents from the editor. The Google tag loads on production pages, including pages with the editor, without waiting for a cookie choice on this website. It can measure page views and other website interactions according to the Google Analytics property settings. This website currently has no in-site analytics consent or withdrawal control.

Google receives network information when your browser contacts its services, including your IP address. Analytics uses IP information to derive approximate location. See Google's explanation of regional data collection and how Google uses data from sites that use its services. Do not put names, email addresses or other personal information into website URLs or campaign links: analytics and hosting requests can include page URLs and referring URLs.

You can block analytics cookies in your browser settings or use Google's Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Blocking the Google Analytics script does not affect the collage editor. Deleting or blocking cookies alone does not necessarily stop measurement requests; Google's tags can transmit data without cookies.

Third-party services

Photo To Collage self-hosts its interface fonts through the website build, so your browser does not request Google Fonts directly. Apart from Google Analytics, the website does not integrate third-party image processing, storage, advertising, or social-widget services.

Children's privacy

Photo To Collage is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not provide child accounts or a server-side photo library. Hosting request logs and information voluntarily sent in support messages are separate from the editor, as described above. Do not send a child's personal photos or identifying information in a support message.

Your choices and data control

Because your photos are processed locally and not stored on our servers, you have complete control over your data at all times:

• End your session: Close or refresh the browser tab to end the editor session and release its application references. The browser controls when the underlying memory is reclaimed.
• Remove individual photos: Use the editor controls to remove any photo from your collage at any time.
• Manage downloaded files: Exported collage files are saved to your device through your browser's download function. You manage these files like any other file on your computer.
• Control cookies: Adjust your browser's cookie settings to manage or block cookies from any website.

Downloaded images and support messages

A downloaded collage is a file on your device. Deleting a browser tab does not delete that download. If you share the image through another website or application, that destination handles its own copy.

Email sent to our contact address is separate from local editing. Your message includes the information you choose to send, so do not attach personal photos for troubleshooting. We cannot recover an editing session from a closed browser tab.

Data retention

The editor does not retain your selected photos in a server-side project library. Hosting logs maintained by our infrastructure provider are subject to that provider's retention policies. Contact correspondence is separate from the local photo session.

Analytics data retention is controlled in the Google Analytics property. Its event and user data retention settings are separate from cookie expiration and aggregated reports. See Google's data retention documentation. Google and our hosting and email providers may process information in countries other than your own under their applicable terms. Contact us about access, correction or deletion requests for information handled outside the local editor; applicable rights depend on your location.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Please do not send your personal photos via email. The collage editor is designed to process them locally on your device.
