This Privacy Policy explains how Imgbob collects, uses, and protects information when you visit the website, create an account, upload images, or contact us. By using the service, you agree to the practices described below.
We aim to collect only what we need to operate the platform securely and improve the experience for creators and visitors.
1. Information we collect
Account and profile information
If you register, we may collect details such as your name, email address, password, and profile preferences. This information is used to create and manage your account, provide gallery access, and communicate important service updates.
Upload and usage information
When you upload or manage images, we process file data and related metadata needed to store, display, protect, and deliver those files. We may also collect technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, and approximate usage timestamps to maintain security and diagnose issues.
Communication information
If you contact us through forms or email, we collect the details you submit so we can respond and keep a record of the request.
2. How we use information
- To operate image hosting, sharing, galleries, and account features
- To authenticate users and protect accounts and uploads
- To process upload settings such as access control, expiration, and download permissions
- To respond to support requests and service notices
- To monitor performance, prevent abuse, and improve reliability
- To comply with legal obligations where required
3. Cookies and similar technologies
We may use cookies or similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how the site is used. Essential cookies are required for core functionality. Where optional analytics or marketing tools are enabled by the site operator, those tools may process additional usage data according to their own policies.
4. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only in limited cases, such as:
- With infrastructure or email providers that help us run the service
- With administrators when needed to investigate abuse, reports, or account issues
- When required by law, regulation, or valid legal process
- To protect the rights, safety, and integrity of the platform and its users
Public image links may be accessible to anyone who receives them. If you upload sensitive material, use password protection or private access whenever available.
5. Data retention
We retain account information and uploads for as long as needed to provide the service, honor retention or expiration settings, resolve disputes, and meet legal requirements. Deleted images and closed accounts may remain in backups for a limited period before permanent removal.
6. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we encourage strong passwords, careful link sharing, and private access for confidential files.
7. Your choices
- Update account profile details where the dashboard allows
- Delete uploads you control
- Choose password protection or private delivery when available
- Contact us to request support regarding your account or personal data
8. Children's privacy
Imgbob is not directed to children under the age where digital consent is legally required in their jurisdiction. If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, contact us so we can review and remove it where required.
9. Third-party links and embeds
The service may contain links to third-party websites or tools. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we are not responsible for content or handling outside Imgbob.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page, and continued use of the service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
