Privacy Policy
We value your trust and are committed to protecting your personal information. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use Smaller.app.
1. Introduction
Smaller.app ("we," "our," or "us") provides image transformation services via our API. By accessing or using our services, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. We are committed to transparency in our data practices and ensuring your privacy is respected at every step of our interaction.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information to provide better services to all our users. The types of information we collect include:
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your email address, name, and password (hashed). If you sign up via a third-party provider (e.g., GitHub), we collect your user ID and email from that service.
Usage Data
We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use, or navigate the Service. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information, such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, referring URLs, device name, country, location, information about how and when you use our Service, and other technical information.
Image Data
Images submitted to our API are processed in memory and temporarily cached on our edge servers to improve performance. We do not permanently store original images unless explicitly requested via specific storage features. Cached images are automatically purged after 30 days of inactivity.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for various business purposes, including:
- To provide, operate, and maintain our Service.
- To improve, personalize, and expand our Service.
- To understand and analyze how you use our Service.
- To develop new products, services, features, and functionality.
- To communicate with you, either directly or through one of our partners, including for customer service, to provide you with updates and other information relating to the Service, and for marketing and promotional purposes.
- To process your transactions and manage your orders.
- To find and prevent fraud.
4. Data Retention
We will only keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as tax, accounting, or other legal requirements).
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
5. Security of Your Information
We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.
Our Security Standards
We implement industry-standard encryption for data in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest. Our infrastructure providers are SOC 2 Type II compliant.
6. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your data.
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information.
