Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 26, 2025

Summary

We practice Data Minimization. We avoid collecting personal data whenever possible. We don't track your website visitors, we don't sell data, and we only process what's technically necessary to deliver optimized images.

1. Who We Are

The WPimg service ("Service") is operated by:

As the data controller for the Service, we are responsible for ensuring your data is handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

2. What Data We Collect & Why

We collect only what is necessary to provide and improve the Service. Here's a clear breakdown:

2.1 Service Data (The CDN)

When a visitor views an image served by our CDN, their browser automatically sends technical data to our infrastructure. This includes:

Data Purpose Retention
IP Address Required to route image data back to the visitor's browser Not permanently stored by us
User Agent Determines browser capabilities to serve the optimal image format (AVIF, WebP, or original) Not permanently stored
Referrer URL Domain verification to ensure authorized usage Not permanently stored

Important: We do not use this data to track, profile, or identify individual visitors. We do not combine this data with other sources. We do not sell or share this data with advertisers.

2.2 Plugin User Data

Free Tier Users

If you use the free tier, no personal data is required. You simply install and activate the Plugin—no registration, email, or account needed. The only data processed is the technical CDN data described in Section 2.1 above, plus your domain name (automatically detected from where the Plugin is installed).

Paid Subscribers

When you purchase a paid subscription, we process:

Data Purpose Legal Basis
Email Address License key delivery, support communication, important service updates Contract Performance (Art. 6(1)(b))
Domain Name(s) License validation and ensuring authorized CDN usage Contract Performance (Art. 6(1)(b))
License Key Service authentication and access control Contract Performance (Art. 6(1)(b))
We do NOT see your credit card or payment details.
All payment data is handled entirely by our Merchant of Record, Lemon Squeezy. We never receive, process, or store your payment card information.

2.3 Website Analytics

Our marketing website (wpimg.io) may use basic, privacy-respecting analytics to understand traffic patterns. We do not use invasive tracking technologies or share analytics data with third parties for advertising purposes.

3. Third-Party Subprocessors

We use trusted third-party infrastructure to provide the Service. Your data may flow through the following services:

Cloudflare

  • Location: Global network
  • Purpose: Content Delivery Network, image optimization, DDoS protection, and security
  • Data Processed: IP addresses, request headers, image data
  • Privacy Policy: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy

Cloudflare processes IP addresses to prevent DDoS attacks, route traffic, and deliver content efficiently. Cloudflare is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Lemon Squeezy

  • Location: USA
  • Purpose: Merchant of Record — handles all payments, invoicing, refunds, and tax compliance
  • Data Processed: Name, email, payment information, billing address
  • Privacy Policy: lemonsqueezy.com/privacy

Lemon Squeezy acts as the Merchant of Record for all purchases. They are responsible for PCI compliance and secure handling of payment data.

Email Service Provider

  • Purpose: Transactional emails (license delivery, support responses)
  • Data Processed: Email address, message content

4. Data Retention

CDN Logs

We do not permanently store end-user IP addresses. Request logs are retained by our infrastructure provider (Cloudflare) only for a short period necessary for security monitoring and debugging, after which they are automatically deleted.

We do not have access to historical logs that would allow us to identify individual visitors to your website.

Paid Subscriber Data

For paid subscribers, we retain your subscription and license information for as long as:

  • Your subscription is active
  • Required for legal or tax compliance (typically up to 7 years for invoicing records)
  • Necessary to resolve disputes or enforce our agreements

Upon request, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

Free tier users: Since no personal data is collected, there is nothing to delete. Your domain is automatically removed from our system when you deactivate the Plugin.

Cached Images

Optimized images are cached on our CDN for performance. These caches are automatically purged based on cache policies and do not contain personal data.

5. Your Rights

Under the GDPR and other applicable privacy laws, you have the following rights:

Right to Access

Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

Right to Rectification

Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.

Right to Erasure

Request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten").

Right to Restrict Processing

Request limitation of how we process your data.

Right to Data Portability

Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

Right to Object

Object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Important Note for Website Visitors:
Since we do not permanently store end-user IP addresses or use them to identify individuals, we generally cannot fulfill Access Requests for visitors to websites using our Service. We cannot identify who visited which website or when, because we don't retain that data.

To exercise any of these rights regarding your personal data (paid subscribers only—free tier users have no personal data stored), contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

If you believe we have not adequately addressed your concerns, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. In Finland, this is the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman (tietosuoja.fi).

6. Cookies

Our marketing website may use cookies for:

  • Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality
  • Analytics cookies: To understand how visitors use our site (if enabled)

The CDN service itself does not set cookies on your visitors' browsers. Image optimization is performed without tracking cookies.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.

For material changes that significantly affect how we handle your data, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you via email or through the Service before the changes take effect.

8. Contact

For any privacy-related questions, concerns, or to exercise your rights:

We aim to respond to all privacy inquiries within 30 days.
