When an image is requested from our service, we process the following data:

3. Purpose of Data Processing

 

The processing of this data is carried out exclusively for the following purposes:

  • Error Analysis and Technical Optimization: The logs help us to identify technical problems and improve the performance of our service.

  • Anonymous Usage Statistics: We generate aggregated, anonymous statistics (e.g., "top domains by requests") to understand the usage of our service. These statistics no longer contain personal data.
