Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 30, 2026

This policy explains what data PixelMinify (pixelminify.com), a service

operated by Full Stage & Trading Corp, processes and what we do with it.

It is written to be understood. If anything is not clear, write to us at

info@pixelminify.com.

The essentials, in four lines

1. What data we process

Your images

We process them and return the result.

processing.

maximum of 30 minutes, and is deleted when the session ends or expires.

We do not make backups of your images, we do not share them with anyone, we

do not review them, and we do not train any model with them.

In addition, we strip the private EXIF metadata from the original — GPS

location, camera model, and capture date — so that information does not

travel with the processed image.

Your account, only if you sign in

Signing in is optional. You can do it with Google, GitHub, or

with a one-time code sent to your email. If you sign in, we store:

or your normalised email if you use the email-code option).

email-code option does not have one).

We use these fields only to identify you and give you access to your

account. Regardless of how many providers you link, you have a single

PixelMinify account.

Usage log

For each operation we store: the type of action, the output format, the

input and output size, the dimensions, and the date.

For each visit we also store:

example "search engine · google.com". Never the full address, which

might contain what you searched for.

on our own server. Your IP is not sent to any external service, and

from it we only keep the country: neither city, nor region, nor

coordinates.

This tells us whether the service is useful to anyone and where people find

us. There are no advertising identifiers, no profiles, no way to

reconstruct the trajectory of a specific person.

The IP address is stored **pseudonymised with a hash using a salt

specific to our installation**, never in the clear. It lets us count

distinct visitors and detect abuse, not identify anyone.

Analytics

We use Umami, an open-source analytics tool that runs on our own

servers. It records visits, country, browser, operating system,

language, and which features of the service are used. We do not share

anything with Google Analytics, Meta, or any advertising network, and

it does not use cookies.

Bots

When an automated crawler visits the site — search engines or AI

systems — we store its technical identifier so we know who is visiting

us. This applies only to bots, never to people. It is deleted after

90 days.

Cookies

| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |

|---|---|---|

| pm_uid | So only you can access your own images | 7 days |

| pm_session | Keep your session signed in | 30 days |

| pm_flow | Complete Google sign-in securely | 10 minutes |

All three are technically necessary, are signed, and are not accessible

from the page's code.

Your light/dark theme preference is stored in the browser (localStorage),

is not a cookie, and never reaches our servers.

We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies.

2. What we use the data for

service or bypass its limits.

identifying anyone.

3. Who we share it with

With no one, except what is strictly necessary for the service to work:

In that case the provider confirms your identity to us and provides

the data listed above.

hosts the service. netcup does not access your data, but it

technically stores it while it exists. We have signed a data

processing agreement with them in accordance with Article 28 of the

GDPR.

Typography, styles, scripts, and every other asset are served from our

own servers. Nothing on the page is loaded from a third-party CDN.

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties. There are

no advertising networks or data brokers.

4. Payment processing (PixelMinify Pro)

If you subscribe to PixelMinify Pro, PixelMinify uses Stripe Managed Payments

— provided through Sold through Link, LLC and related Stripe/Link services

— as the payment processor and Merchant of Record. Because of this,

PixelMinify may provide Stripe/Link with information necessary to create and

manage your billing customer profile, process your subscription checkout and

any renewal charges, calculate and, where applicable, collect and remit

indirect taxes in supported countries, prevent fraud and abuse of the

checkout, and provide billing-related customer support.

The information PixelMinify may share with Stripe/Link for these purposes

includes, at minimum, your account email address and an identifier that lets

us later match the subscription to your PixelMinify account. Depending on

the checkout flow you choose and on where you are, Stripe/Link may also

request or process your name, billing address or country, and IP or network

signals used for fraud, tax, and compliance purposes.

Payment credentials are entered by you directly into Stripe/Link-hosted

payment surfaces. **PixelMinify does not receive or store full payment card

numbers, CVCs, or bank credentials.** Those are handled by Stripe/Link as

external processors.

The only billing-related identifiers PixelMinify stores locally are opaque

references issued by Stripe (such as customer and subscription IDs), the

subscription's status and current period, and internal metadata linking the

subscription to your PixelMinify account.

Stripe's own processing of your data is also governed by Stripe's Privacy

Policy and Link's privacy terms.

5. How long we keep it

| Data | Retention |

|---|---|

| Images (batch mode) | Deleted immediately after processing |

| Images (editor mode) | Maximum 30 minutes |

| Account data | While the account exists; deleted if you delete it |

| Usage log with pseudonymised IP | 12 months |

| Referrer, entry page, and country | 12 months |

| Analytics (Umami) | 12 months |

| Bot activity | 90 days |

6. Where it is processed

Your images are processed in Nuremberg, Germany, in a netcup GmbH data

center. That is, within the European Union.

The company that operates the service, Full Stage & Trading Corp, is

incorporated in the United States and administers the systems from outside

the EU. We apply the same protection measures regardless of your place of

residence.

7. Your rights

You may request at any time:

Write to us at info@pixelminify.com and we will respond within a

maximum of 30 days. We do not charge for exercising these rights.

You do not need to request anything for your images: they delete

themselves within minutes.

8. Security

exposed it is.

fewer points through which something could leak.

What we do not do, so you know: the temporary files and the database

are not encrypted at rest on the server's disk. The protection of your

images relies on their existing for a very short time, not on storage

encryption.

No system connected to the internet is invulnerable. We cannot promise

you absolute security, but we can maintain the minimalist design described

here.

9. Minors

The service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly

collect data from them. If you believe a minor has provided us with data,

write to us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update it. The version in force is always the one published here,

with its date. If the changes are significant, we will announce them on

the site.
