Privacy Policy

Your photo

PassportCrop does not have a server-side upload path. When you choose a photo, whether by file picker, drag and drop, or the in-browser camera, it's decoded and cropped entirely on your device using the HTML canvas API. The image data is never sent over the network, never touches a server we operate, and is never stored anywhere outside your browser's memory for that page session. Closing or reloading the tab discards it. This holds regardless of whether analytics (below) is enabled, since analytics never has access to the image data. The two systems are entirely separate.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand aggregate site usage: which pages are visited, which country tools are used, and whether the upload/download flow completes, so we know what to improve. GA4 sets cookies in your browser and collects:

• Pages visited and general navigation flow.
• Approximate location, derived from IP address (city/region level, not precise).
• Device and browser type.
• Anonymous tool-usage events (e.g. "photo uploaded," "photo downloaded") tagged only with the selected country, never with any part of the photo itself.

Google's retention and processing of this data is governed by Google's own privacy policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking using browser extensions such as Google's Analytics opt-out add-on, or by using a browser/extension that blocks third-party analytics scripts.

Advertising

PassportCrop may display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies, including the DoubleClick cookie, to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites. Ads are never placed on or near your photo, and your photo is never shared with advertisers.

You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. See how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites.

Cookies and your choices

PassportCrop sets a first-party value in your browser's local storage to remember your light/dark theme preference, and another to remember your cookie choice. Analytics and advertising cookies (from Google Analytics and Google AdSense) are only used with your consent if you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, where we ask for it when you first visit. In other regions we don't show a consent prompt, and these cookies are used unless you block them in your browser or use the opt-outs described above.

You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link in the site footer, or by clearing this site's data in your browser.

Third parties

We do not sell or rent your data. The only third parties that process data through this site are Google (Analytics and, if enabled, AdSense), as described above.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "last updated" date at the top of this page will change. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
