Images you upload
Images you add to our tools are processed locally in your browser. They are not uploaded to, stored on, or viewed by our server.
YouTube links
When you paste a YouTube link, the video ID is used in your browser to load the public thumbnail from YouTube’s image servers (i.ytimg.com). If you use the download button and your browser can’t save the image directly, the request may pass through our server to deliver the file; we don’t keep a record of the video IDs requested beyond standard, temporary server logs.
Server logs
Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, pages visited and time of visit. These logs are used for security and to keep the site running, and are deleted on a rolling basis.
Cookies and local storage
We use your browser’s local storage only to remember your light/dark theme choice. Third-party services described below may set their own cookies.
Advertising
We may use Google AdSense to show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland will be asked for consent through a Google-certified consent management platform before personalised ads or advertising cookies are used.
Analytics
We may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site in aggregate (for example, which tools are most popular). Google Analytics uses cookies and collects data such as pages viewed and approximate location. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data. Because we don’t collect account information, most requests can be handled by clearing your browser’s cookies. For anything else, contact us at contact@grokthumbnails.com.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top shows when it last changed.
