Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy explains how ExtractPics ("we", "us", "our"), operated by Bipul, collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website extractpics.com and the image extraction service available on it (the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information we collect

We collect minimal information to provide and improve the Service:

• Account information: If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from Google OAuth.
• Usage data: We collect anonymized analytics through Google Analytics (loaded via a Partytown web worker) to understand how the Service is used.
• URLs submitted: URLs you submit for image extraction are processed by our servers but are not permanently stored or associated with your identity.
• Log data: Our servers and our hosting provider may automatically log standard technical data such as your IP address, browser type and version, pages visited, and the time and date of your visit.

How we use your information

• To provide and maintain the image extraction Service
• To manage your account and track usage quotas (free tier limits)
• To understand usage patterns and improve the Service
• To display advertising that helps keep the Service free
• To communicate important updates about the Service

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Cookies and similar technologies

A cookie is a small piece of data stored on your device. We and our partners use the following categories of cookies:

• Essential cookies: A secure, HTTP-only session cookie used to keep you signed in if you log in with Google.
• Analytics cookies: Set by Google Analytics to measure site usage. These are loaded in a web worker and do not block page rendering.
• Advertising cookies: Set by Google AdSense and its partners to serve and measure ads (see the section below).

You can use most of the Service without signing in. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings; doing so may affect some features.

Advertising & Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense, a third-party advertising service provided by Google, to display advertisements on this site. Advertising revenue helps us keep ExtractPics free to use.

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site.
• Google's use of advertising cookies (including the DoubleClick DART cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet.
• Third-party vendors and ad networks may also use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to collect information (such as your IP address, browser, and pages viewed) in order to measure and personalize ads.
• We do not have access to or control over the cookies used by these third-party advertisers.

You can manage or opt out of personalized advertising using the following resources:

• Review Google's advertising practices at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
• Opt out of personalized Google ads via Google Ads Settings.
• Opt out of third-party vendor cookies at aboutads.info/choices and optout.networkadvertising.org.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the UK, or another region where consent is required, ads may be limited to non-personalized advertising unless you provide consent.

Third-party services

We rely on the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:

• Cloudflare: Hosting, CDN, and edge security. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
• Google AdSense: Advertising. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google OAuth: Authentication for sign-in. See Google's Privacy Policy.
• Google Analytics: Anonymous usage analytics. See Google's Privacy Policy.

Data retention

Account information is retained as long as your account is active. URLs submitted for extraction are processed in real time and are not permanently stored. Analytics and advertising data are retained in accordance with Google's standard retention policies. You can request deletion of your account data at any time by contacting us.

Depending on where you live (for example under the EU/UK GDPR or the California CCPA), you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict certain processing, including personalized advertising

Children's privacy

The Service is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

International transfers

We and our service providers may process and store your information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required by law, we take appropriate steps to ensure your information is protected in accordance with this policy.
