Data Protection & User Privacy Statement

Effective Date: December 12, 2025

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At convertheictojpg.co, we believe that image conversion should be completely private. This document outlines our comprehensive approach to protecting your data and ensuring maximum privacy during HEIC to JPG conversion processes.

Zero Server Processing Policy

Complete Browser-Based Operations

Our revolutionary conversion technology operates exclusively within your web browser environment. This means:

  • No file uploads: Your HEIC images never travel to external servers
  • Local processing only: All conversion algorithms execute on your device
  • Immediate disposal: Converted files exist only in your browser's temporary memory
  • Zero cloud storage: No images are saved to any remote storage systems

Advanced Client-Side Architecture

We employ sophisticated WebAssembly and JavaScript technologies to ensure:

  • High-performance conversion without server dependencies
  • Encrypted memory processing for maximum security
  • Automatic memory cleanup after each conversion session

Information Handling Practices

User-Provided Content

Image Files:

  • Processed entirely within your browser sandbox
  • Never transmitted beyond your local device
  • Automatically purged from memory upon page closure
  • No metadata extraction or analysis performed

No Personal Identification Required:

  • Zero registration or account creation needed
  • No email addresses, names, or contact information collected
  • Anonymous usage without identity verification

Automatic Technical Monitoring

For service optimization purposes, we may collect non-personal metrics:
