At Web2P, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our Free WebP Converter Tool and visit our website. Unlike many online services, our client-side processing approach means we collect minimal information and never have access to your images.

1. Our Privacy-First Approach

Web2P is built on a fundamental principle: your privacy is paramount. Our Free WebP Converter Tool uses client-side processing technology, which means all image conversion happens directly in your web browser using JavaScript and HTML5 Canvas API. This architecture ensures that:

  • Your images never leave your device
  • We never receive, store, or have access to your files
  • No images are uploaded to our servers or any third-party servers
  • All processing happens locally on your computer, tablet, or smartphone
  • Your converted images remain completely private and under your control

This client-side approach represents a fundamental difference from traditional online converters that upload your files to remote servers. With Web2P, your images stay with you from start to finish.

2. Client-Side Processing Explained

When you use our Free WebP Converter Tool, here's exactly what happens:

  1. File Selection: You select or drag-and-drop an image file. This file is loaded into your browser's memory only – it is not transmitted anywhere.
  2. Processing: JavaScript code running in your browser reads the image data, performs the conversion using Canvas API, and creates the new file format.
  3. Download: The converted image is generated in your browser and offered as a download. This file has never existed anywhere except on your device.

Throughout this entire process, no data is sent to Web2P servers or any external service. The conversion tool can even work offline once the webpage is loaded, further proving that no data leaves your device.

3. Information We Do Not Collect

To emphasize our commitment to privacy, here's what we explicitly DO NOT collect:

  • Images: We never receive, store, analyze, or have access to any images you convert
  • File Names: We don't know what files you're converting or what you name them
  • File Contents: We have no visibility into the content, subject matter, or metadata of your images
  • Conversion Settings: We don't track what formats you convert to or quality settings you choose
  • Personal Identification: We don't require accounts, logins, or any personal information to use our tool
  • Usage Patterns: We don't track how frequently you use the tool or what specific features you engage with

4. Information We May Collect

While we don't collect image data, we may collect limited, non-personal technical information to maintain and improve our website:

4.1 Technical and Log Information

Like most websites, our web server may automatically collect standard technical information, including:

  • IP addresses (for security and analytics purposes)
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring website or source
  • Pages visited on our website
  • Date and time of visits
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)

This information is collected in aggregate form and cannot identify you personally. We use it to understand overall website traffic patterns, identify technical issues, and improve user experience.

4.2 Cookies and Local Storage

Web2P may use cookies and browser local storage for the following limited purposes:

  • Essential Cookies: To remember your preferences (such as quality settings) between visits, improving your experience
  • Analytics Cookies: To understand general website usage patterns and identify popular features (if we implement analytics in the future)

We do not use cookies to track you across websites or for advertising purposes. Most browsers allow you to control cookie settings, and you can disable cookies without affecting the core functionality of our conversion tool.

4.3 Contact Form Information

If you choose to contact us through our contact form, we collect:

  • Your name
  • Email address
  • Subject and message content

This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties or used for marketing purposes. We retain contact form submissions only as long as necessary to address your inquiry.

5. No Storage of User Images

We want to be absolutely clear: Web2P does not store any user images, either temporarily or permanently. This is not a policy choice we could change – it's a technical impossibility built into how our tool works.

Because all processing happens client-side, images are never transmitted to our servers. They exist only in your browser's memory during conversion and are discarded when you close the browser tab or navigate away. We have no servers, databases, or storage systems containing user images because we never receive them in the first place.

6. Data Security

While we don't collect or store your images, we still take security seriously for the limited information we do handle:

  • HTTPS Encryption: Our website uses HTTPS encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers (such as page requests)
  • Secure Hosting: Our website is hosted on secure, reputable infrastructure with industry-standard security practices
  • Regular Updates: We keep our website software and dependencies updated to address security vulnerabilities
  • No Third-Party Access: We do not grant third-party services access to our server logs or any technical data we collect

The client-side nature of our tool provides inherent security – the best way to protect data is to never collect it in the first place.

7. Third-Party Links and Services

Our website may contain links to external websites or resources for informational purposes. These third-party sites have their own privacy policies and practices that we do not control. We are not responsible for:

  • Privacy practices of linked websites
  • Data collection by third-party sites you visit from our website
  • Cookies or tracking technologies used by external sites

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites you visit. Our privacy commitments apply only to Web2P and our Free WebP Converter Tool.

8. Children's Privacy

Web2P is a general-audience tool that does not specifically target children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age. Given that we don't require accounts or collect user identification, we have no way of determining the age of our users.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through our contact form, please contact us at support@web2p.com, and we will promptly delete such information.

9. Your Rights and Choices

Because we don't collect or store your images or personal data beyond basic technical logs, there's little personal data for you to manage. However, you have the following rights:

  • Right to Information: You can contact us to learn what limited information we may have about your website visits
  • Browser Controls: You can control cookies through your browser settings
  • Contact Form Data: If you've contacted us, you can request deletion of your contact information
  • IP Address Anonymization: You can use VPNs or proxy services if you prefer to hide your IP address

10. Data Retention

Since we don't collect or store your images, there's nothing to retain. For the limited information we do collect:

  • Server Logs: Retained for a limited period (typically 30-90 days) for security and troubleshooting purposes, then automatically deleted
  • Contact Form Submissions: Retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry, then deleted unless ongoing support is required
  • Cookies: Expire after a set period or can be deleted manually through your browser

11. International Users and Data Transfers

Web2P is accessible worldwide. If you access our website from outside your country of residence, please note that any technical information we collect may be transferred to and processed in the country where our servers are located.

However, since your images are processed entirely on your device through client-side technology, they never cross international borders or leave your device, regardless of where you're located.

12. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. While we respect these preferences, our minimal data collection practices mean we don't engage in tracking activities that DNT signals are designed to prevent. Your images and conversion activities are inherently private due to our client-side architecture.

13. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). However, given that we don't collect or sell personal information in the traditional sense, most CCPA provisions don't apply to Web2P's core functionality.

If you have questions about how CCPA applies to your use of Web2P, please contact us at support@web2p.com.

14. European Union Privacy Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our client-side processing approach aligns strongly with GDPR principles:

  • Data Minimization: We collect minimal data, only what's necessary for website operation
  • Purpose Limitation: Any data collected is used only for its stated purpose
  • Storage Limitation: We don't store your images, and technical logs are retained only briefly
  • Privacy by Design: Our client-side architecture ensures privacy is built into the tool's fundamental design

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your privacy. Your continued use of Web2P after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

If we make material changes that significantly affect how we handle data, we will provide prominent notice on our website before the changes take effect.

16. Contact Us About Privacy

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us:

We take privacy inquiries seriously and will respond to legitimate requests within a reasonable timeframe, typically 24-48 hours for general questions and within legally required timeframes for formal data requests.

17. Transparency Commitment

At Web2P, transparency is core to our values. This Privacy Policy represents our genuine practices, not legal boilerplate. We've designed our Free WebP Converter Tool from the ground up with privacy as a foundational principle, not an afterthought.

If you ever have doubts about our privacy practices, we encourage you to:

  • Inspect the tool's behavior using browser developer tools
  • Monitor network activity to confirm no images are uploaded
  • Test the tool offline to verify client-side operation
  • Contact us with specific technical questions

We believe trust is earned through transparency and verifiable practices, not just promises.

Thank you for trusting Web2P with your image conversion needs. Your privacy is not just protected – it's guaranteed by our architecture.
