Privacy policy

No accounts, nothing to sign up for, and almost everything is handled in memory and forgotten. Here is exactly what happens, service by service.

GuardaFoto: the website and the resolver API

• When you paste a link, your browser sends it to our API, which fetches the public data from the platform and answers with the photo's details; the file then loads and downloads straight from the platform's own servers.
• Answers are kept in a memory-only cache for up to an hour, keyed by the link. It is never written to a database, it clears when the service restarts, and we keep no log of the links submitted.
• The only thing counted is your IP address, held in memory, to enforce the fair-use limit of 120 requests per minute. Nothing about it is stored on disk.
• The site sets no cookies of its own and runs no analytics or ad trackers. The pages do load fonts from Google Fonts, so your browser asks Google for those files.

OptiFoto: the optimizer API and the WordPress plugin

• To optimize an image, the plugin — or any API client — sends the image file itself, its file name, and two settings: the quality number and the mode (WebP or compress). That is the whole request: no WordPress user data, no post content, no admin details.
• The image is processed in the server's memory and the result returned immediately. The service does not save uploaded images to disk and keeps no copy once it has answered. EXIF and other metadata are stripped from every optimized image.
• What is kept is one technical line per successful optimization: date and time (UTC), the IP address, the mode and quality used, and the file size before and after — plus a per-IP daily counter for the 1,000 optimizations/day limit. No image, file name or image content is stored in it.
• On your own WordPress site, the plugin stores each attachment's savings in its metadata and, if the backup setting is on, the original beside it as a .optifoto-bak file. Those live on your server — they are never sent to us.

What we never do

We don't sell data, we don't build advertising profiles, and we never ask for your password to any platform — for anything.

Email, and your call

If you write to us, we use the name, address and message you send only to answer you. Questions about this policy, or a request about the technical records connected to your IP address: hola@guardafoto.com or the contact page. The terms are on the terms page.
