Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 11-11-2024

Welcome to ExifViewer. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our service. By using this site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

• Anonymized IP Data: When you interact with our service, we collect IP addresses anonymously to determine the country you’re visiting from. We anonymize IP addresses by obscuring the last two digits before processing. This anonymized data is processed through ipinfo.io for location information (limited to country) and then discarded. No identifiable IP information is stored.
• Exif Metadata: When you upload images, we process EXIF metadata, such as camera model, to enhance your experience. This data is processed locally and stored only for the duration necessary to complete your session. The specific device model and computed country information are recorded without any personally identifiable data.

2. Purpose of Data Collection

We collect and use anonymized data for the following purposes:

• Service Improvement: To analyze general usage patterns and improve user experience.
• Security and Fraud Prevention: To protect our service from misuse or security threats.
• Affiliate Links: We may use affiliate programs, such as Amazon and other partners, to suggest products or services related to the device model identified in your uploaded image. This helps support our service at no additional cost to you.

3. Analytics

We use GoatCounter and Umami for site analytics to help us understand general site usage. These tools are privacy-focused and do not collect personally identifiable information. They help us analyze user interactions to improve the website.

4. How We Protect Your Data

We are committed to ensuring your data is secure. We have implemented procedures to safeguard and secure the anonymized information we collect. Data is collected temporarily and discarded after anonymized processing, ensuring compliance with GDPR principles.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, lease, or share your information with third parties, except as required by law or as necessary for service operation (e.g., using ipinfo.io to determine the country based on anonymized IP).

6. No Personal Data Collection

We do not collect or store personal information, such as full IP addresses, names, email addresses, or other contact information. Logged data is anonymized and cannot be used to identify an individual.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy periodically. Please check this page to stay informed about how we protect your data.
