Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
Your Privacy Matters
At convertheictojpg.org, we take your privacy seriously. All file conversions happen directly in your browser. We never upload, store, or have access to your files.
What We Collect
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. This includes anonymous usage data like page views and browser types.
Cookies
We use cookies for analytics and to remember your preferences. See our Cookie Policy for details.
Your Files
All conversions are done locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device and are not transmitted to our servers.
Definitions and Scope
A HEIF image is a container format used by Apple devices for efficient photo storage, and EXIF refers to embedded metadata such as capture time, camera details, and sometimes location information. A browser cookie is a small piece of local browser storage used for site behavior rather than a copy of your photos.
Privacy Comparison Table
| Topic | How This Site Handles It | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Source files | Processed locally in the browser for supported conversions | Reduces exposure of personal photos |
| Analytics | Aggregate traffic and usage signals | Helps improve reliability and UX |
| Metadata | May require a separate removal step depending on workflow | Protects location and device details |
Frequently Asked Questions
Do my files upload to your servers during a supported conversion?
No. The main HEIC to JPG workflow is designed to run in the browser so your original images stay on your device.
What data do analytics tools collect?
Analytics tools collect aggregate usage signals such as page views, browser type, and broad device information rather than your photo contents.
Can image metadata still exist after conversion?
It can, depending on the workflow, which is why metadata-aware tools and EXIF removal options matter for privacy-sensitive sharing.
Why does the privacy policy mention cookies?
A cookie refers to a small browser storage item used for preferences and analytics, not a storage location for your uploaded photos.
