100% Client-Side Privacy:
๐Ÿ”’ STRICT ZERO-KNOWLEDGE ARCHITECTURE

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: November 2026 ยท We do not collect, upload, or store your photographs or personal documents.

Plain English Privacy Summary

When you select or drop a photo or signature into PhotoPortal, that file is processed strictly inside your device's web browser memory. At no point is your file transmitted to any web server, cloud bucket, or external service. Once you close or refresh your browser tab, the data disappears from your device's active memory immediately.

1. Technical In-Browser Architecture

PhotoPortal operates via client-side JavaScript, HTML5 Canvas, and WebAssembly APIs executed directly by your browser (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Android Webview).

  • Image Ingestion: Files are read through the standard HTML5 FileReader API into temporary browser memory.
  • Cropping & Rescaling: All pixel computations, aspect ratio constraints, and visual filters are applied on an off-screen HTML5 Canvas.
  • Quantization & Compression: Kilobyte reduction is executed in-memory through iterative quality quantization algorithms.
  • DPI Injection: EXIF and JFIF metadata headers are written directly to binary ArrayBuffers before generating a local blob URL for download.

2. Information We Never Collect

Because processing is decentralized to your browser, we do NOT collect, inspect, or store:

โŒ Your Photographs: Never uploaded or cached.
โŒ Your Signatures: Never recorded or stored.
โŒ Identification Marks or Slates: Names and dates remain local.
โŒ Certificates or Marksheets: PDF scans never leave your device.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

PhotoPortal does not set profiling cookies, behavior tracking cookies, or advertising trackers. We do not sell, rent, or monetize your personal data.

We may use minimal, privacy-focused anonymized static hosting logs (such as request counts and CDN cache hit rates provided by Cloudflare) strictly to protect against distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and ensure site stability.

4. Regulatory Compliance (GDPR & DPDP Act 2023)

Because PhotoPortal does not collect or process personal data on servers, we adhere by default to the privacy-by-design principles required by the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act 2023). Users retain 100% control over their digital artifacts at all times.
