Privacy Policy
Last updated: 29 June 2026
🔒 The short version: Devdwell Tools processes all images locally inside your browser. We never upload, store, or transmit your images or personal data to any server.
1. Who we are
Devdwell Tools is operated by Devdwell, a web design agency. Our website is located at tools.devdwell.com. For any privacy-related enquiries, contact us at [email protected].
2. What data we collect
We collect minimal data to operate the website. Specifically:
- Images you process: We collect nothing. All image processing happens entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device.
- Usage data: We may use privacy-respecting analytics (such as aggregate page view counts) that do not track individuals and do not use cookies.
- Cookies: We use a single localStorage entry to remember your cookie consent preference. No third-party tracking cookies are set without your explicit consent.
- Contact enquiries: If you contact us by email, we store your email address and message content solely to respond to your enquiry.
3. How we use data
We use the limited data we collect to:
- Operate and improve the Devdwell Tools website
- Respond to support or contact enquiries
- Understand aggregate usage patterns to guide product development
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any commercial purpose beyond operating the tool.
4. Your images are private
The image optimisation tool runs entirely client-side. When you upload an image, it is loaded into your browser's memory. All processing — including resizing, cropping, rotation, and AVIF encoding — is performed using WebAssembly running locally on your device. The processed image is saved directly to your device. At no point does any image data travel over a network.
5. Cookies and local storage
We use browser localStorage (not cookies) to store a single value — your response to the cookie consent banner. This value is:
- Stored only on your device
- Never transmitted to us or any third party
- Cleared when you clear your browser data
See our Cookie Policy for full details.
6. Third-party services
The tool loads certain open-source libraries (such as the AVIF encoder and ZIP library) from third-party CDNs (esm.sh, jsDelivr). These CDNs may log your IP address as part of standard CDN access logs, subject to their own privacy policies. We do not control this data and do not receive it.
7. Data retention
We do not retain any image data, as none is ever collected. Email enquiries are retained for up to 12 months after resolution.
8. Your rights
Under applicable privacy law (including GDPR where relevant), you have the right to:
- Request access to any personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of that data
- Object to processing or request restriction of processing
- Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected].
9. Children's privacy
Devdwell Tools is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of the service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
