Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 20, 2026
HEICtoJPG Converter ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our website at heictojpgconverter.com (the "Service").
Your Files Stay on Your Device
This is the most important thing to know: your files are never uploaded to our servers. All image conversion happens entirely within your web browser using WebAssembly technology. We have no ability to access, view, store, or process your photos. Your files remain on your device at all times.
Information We Collect
Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our website. GA4 collects anonymized data such as:
- Pages visited and time spent on each page
- Referring website or search engine
- Browser type, device type, and screen resolution
- Approximate geographic location (country/region level)
- Interaction events (e.g., button clicks)
GA4 does not collect personally identifiable information. We use this data solely to improve the website and understand usage patterns. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising Cookies (Google AdSense)
We display advertisements through Google AdSense to support the free operation of this service. Google AdSense and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. These cookies allow Google and its partners to serve relevant advertisements.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.
Essential Cookies
We may use strictly necessary cookies to ensure the website functions properly. These cookies do not track you or collect personal information.
Data We Do NOT Collect
- Your photos, images, or any files you convert
- Names, email addresses, or account information (we have no accounts)

- Right to erasure — You can request deletion of any data associated with you.
- Right to object — You can object to processing of your data for analytics or advertising purposes.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:
