Our Privacy Commitment

Detailed Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Personal Information

We collect NO personal information. FixMyPics is designed with privacy-by-design principles, meaning we fundamentally do not collect, store, or process any personally identifiable information.

Usage Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how our tools are used, but this data is:

Your images NEVER leave your device. This is our fundamental promise:

• All image processing happens entirely in your web browser

Since processing happens on your device:
