Privacy Policy
Your privacy is critically important to us. Learn about our data protection practices.
Effective Date: January 1, 2024
1. Introduction
Welcome to ImgOcrTxt ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website. This Privacy Policy applies to our website and the Image to Text Converter (OCR) tool offered through it. It explains how we handle your information when you visit and use our services.
Because our core service revolves around extracting text from images you upload, we understand that these images may contain sensitive, personal, or confidential information. We have designed our system architecture with privacy as the foundational principle to guarantee peace of mind for our users.
2. No Image Storage Policy (Client-Side Processing)
The most important aspect of our Privacy Policy is our strict No Image Storage Policy. When you use our Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tool to extract text from an image, the entire process takes place locally within your web browser (client-side processing).
- No Uploads to Our Servers: Your images are never uploaded, transmitted, or saved to our servers or any third-party databases.
- No Data Retention: As soon as you close the browser tab or refresh the page, all image data and extracted text are wiped from your browser's temporary memory.
- Complete Confidentiality: Since we never possess your files, we cannot view, share, or analyze the content of your documents. You retain sole access to and ownership of your images.
3. User Data Protection
While we do not collect your images or extracted text, we may collect standard internet log information to monitor the performance and security of our website. This information is anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally.
If you choose to contact us via our Contact Us form or email, we will collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. We will never sell, distribute, or lease this personal information to third parties unless we have your explicit permission or are required by law to do so.
4. Cookies Usage
Our website uses "cookies" to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files placed on your device to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior information.
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Preferences: To remember your site preferences, such as your choice of Light or Dark mode.

- Advertising: To serve relevant advertisements (see the Google AdSense section below).
You can choose to disable cookies through your individual browser options. However, doing so may affect your ability to use certain features of our site seamlessly.
5. Links to Other Websites
Our website may contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website. Therefore, we cannot be responsible for the protection and privacy of any information which you provide whilst visiting such sites, and such sites are not governed by this privacy statement.

6. Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
