Privacy Policy

The short version: We only collect what's necessary to make the service work and keep it safe. We don't sell your data, and we don't use it for advertising. Home

What We Collect and Why

  • Account Information: Your username, email, and a scrambled (hashed) version of your password. We need this so you can log in.
  • Your Images: The files you upload. We need to store them so we can show them to you.
  • Usage Logs: When your images are viewed, we log technical info like your IP address, browser type (User-Agent), and the site that linked to the image (Referer). We use this only for security, to block abuse, and to make sure our service is working correctly.
  • Cookies: We use one cookie to keep you logged in. That's it.
  • Image Backups: When you use the image editor, a temporary backup of the original image is stored on the server. These backups are automatically deleted whenever the server restarts, which can happen at random times.

How We Use Your Data

  • To provide the service to you (storing images, letting you log in).
  • To send you important emails, like account verification or password resets.
  • To protect the service from abuse, like blocking bots or malicious users.

What We DON'T Do

  • We do not sell or share your personal data with third parties for marketing or advertising.
  • We do not track your activity across other websites.
  • We do not use your images for anything other than serving them back to you as requested.

Your Control and Deletion

You can delete your images at any time from your dashboard. If you wish to delete your entire account and all associated data, please contact us at admin@8ball.space.
