Your Privacy Matters

Privacy Policy

How we collect, use, and protect your data when you use our image text to text converter.

Last updated: June 17, 2026

1Overview

ImageTextToText.net ("we", "us", or "our") operates a free online OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool that converts images to text. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how we handle your data.

Our core principle: your images are processed to extract text and are not permanently stored on our servers. No signup required, no data retention.

2Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

  • Uploaded Images: When you use our OCR tool, you upload images containing text. These images are sent to our servers for processing and are deleted immediately after text extraction is complete.
  • Chat Messages: If you use the AI Chat feature, your messages and the extracted text are processed to generate responses.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

  • Technical Data: IP address, browser type, device information, and operating system. This is used for security, troubleshooting, and analytics.
  • Usage Data: Pages visited, features used, processing time, and referral source. This helps us understand how the tool is used and improve our service.

2.3 What We Do NOT Collect

  • We do not require account registration — no email, name, or password is needed.
  • We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties.
  • We do not use your extracted text for advertising purposes.
  • We do not permanently store your uploaded images.

3How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely for the following purposes:

  • To provide the OCR text extraction, translation, formatting, and AI chat features.
  • To maintain and improve the accuracy and performance of our OCR engine.
  • To monitor and analyze usage patterns to enhance user experience.
  • To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, fraud, or security threats.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

4How We Handle Your Images

Image handling is the most critical aspect of our privacy practices:

  • Temporary Processing: Uploaded images are held in server memory only during the OCR processing period. Once text extraction is complete, the image data is immediately discarded.
  • No Permanent Storage: We do not store your images on our servers, databases, or file systems after processing is complete.
  • No Training on Your Data: We do not use your uploaded images or extracted text to train our AI or OCR models.
  • Batch Processing: When you upload multiple images (up to 10), each image is processed independently and deleted after processing. No cross-referencing between images occurs.
  • Export Data: When you export results (TXT, JSON, CSV, Markdown), the export happens in your browser. The exported files are generated client-side and are not stored on our servers.

5Cookies & Local Storage

ImageTextToText.net uses minimal client-side storage:

  • Essential Cookies: We may use essential cookies required for the basic functionality of the tool.
  • Local Storage: We use browser local storage to remember your preferences (such as selected language or format options). This data stays on your device and is not sent to our servers.
  • Analytics: If we use analytics tools, they may set cookies to collect anonymized usage data. You can disable cookies in your browser settings.

We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels for ad targeting.

6Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services to operate our tool:

  • OCR Processing Engine: Our backend OCR service processes your images. The service provider has access to images only during the processing period and is bound by confidentiality obligations.
  • Translation API: If you use the translation feature, extracted text is sent to a translation service to generate the translated output.
  • Web Analytics: We may use privacy-focused analytics to understand usage patterns. Analytics data is anonymized and aggregated.

Each third-party service we use has its own privacy policy. We recommend reviewing their policies.

7Your Data Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR in the EU, CCPA in California), you may have the following rights:

  • Right to Access: You can request information about what personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to Deletion: You can request that we delete your personal data.
  • Right to Object: You can object to our processing of your personal data.
  • Right to Portability: You can request a copy of your personal data in a structured format.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: You can withdraw consent for data processing at any time.

Since we do not require account registration and do not permanently store your images, most personal data is automatically deleted after processing. To exercise your rights, please contact us.

8Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take steps to delete such information.

9Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. If we make material changes, we will notify you by posting a prominent notice on our website.
