Your privacy is fundamentally important to us. PhotoLab35.com was created as a free resource for the photography community, and our approach to privacy reflects that core mission. This policy outlines our commitment to protecting your data (or, more accurately, our commitment to not collecting it).

Our Guiding Principle: We Do Not Collect Your Data

PhotoLab35.com is a static website hosted on Netlify. It does not have a database and does not use cookies, tracking scripts, or analytics services to monitor your activity. We believe in providing a free, valuable service without needing to know who you are or how you use the site.

Simply put: We do not collect, store, or process any personal data from the visitors who use our tools.

Data and Tool Usage

All tools on PhotoLab35 operate entirely within your web browser (client-side). When you upload an image to a tool like RetroLab or enter information into MetaNote, that data remains on your computer. It is processed locally by the JavaScript running on the page and is never sent to our server.

• Any files you upload or data you enter are lost once you close the web page.
• We have no access to your images or the information you input.
• The entire process is self-contained on your device for maximum privacy and security.

The Contact Form: The Only Exception

The only instance where any information is transmitted is when you voluntarily choose to use the form on our "Contact" page. To send a message, you provide your name and email address.

• This information is sent directly to our email inbox to allow us to reply to your query.
• Your email address and name are used **solely** for the purpose of responding to your message.
• We do not store your contact information in a database, add it to any mailing lists, or use it for any future marketing. Once our conversation is complete, we do not retain your details for any other purpose.

No Third-Party Sharing

We do not, under any circumstances, sell, rent, or pass on any user data to third parties. As we do not collect data in the first place (with the sole exception of direct email correspondence), there is simply nothing to share or sell.
