1. Introduction
Welcome to Image Search Techniques (“we,” “our,” or “us”).
We respect your privacy and are committed to handling personal information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit imagesearchtechniques.net (the “Website”), how that information may be used, and what choices may be available to you.
Our Website provides educational content, practical guides, and information about image search, reverse image search, image source discovery, visual verification, and image copyright research.
By using the Website, you acknowledge that you have had the opportunity to read this Privacy Policy. Where applicable law requires consent for particular data-processing activities, we will seek that consent separately.
2. Information We May Collect
The information we collect depends on how you use the Website and which features are enabled.
2.1 Information You Provide
If you contact us by email or through a contact form, we may receive information such as:
- Your name, if you provide it.
- Your email address.
- The contents of your message and any information you choose to include.
We use this information to respond to inquiries, address feedback, and communicate with you about your request.
Please avoid including sensitive personal information in messages unless it is necessary for your inquiry.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the Website, certain technical information may be collected automatically by our hosting provider, security services, or other technologies used to operate the Website.
Depending on the services configured, this information may include:
- Internet Protocol (IP) address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device and operating system information.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent on those pages.
- Referring pages or websites.
- Date, time, and technical details of requests made to the Website.
This information may be used for website operation, security, troubleshooting, performance monitoring, and understanding how visitors use our content.
2.3 Search Queries and Uploaded Images
Image Search Techniques primarily provides educational content and information about external image search tools.
If you follow a link to a third-party search engine or image service, your searches and any images you submit to that service are generally subject to that provider’s own privacy policy and terms.
Unless we explicitly provide an image-upload or image-search feature on our Website, we do not claim to receive or process the images you submit directly to third-party services.
If image uploads, search forms, or other interactive features are added to our Website, this section should be updated to describe how those features process information before they are made available.
3. How We Use Information
Depending on the information collected and the services we operate, we may use information to:
- Operate and maintain the Website.
- Respond to messages and user inquiries.
- Understand which guides and topics are useful to visitors.
- Diagnose technical problems and improve website performance.
- Detect, investigate, and prevent spam, fraud, abuse, or security incidents.
- Comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do not intend to collect more personal information than is reasonably necessary for these purposes.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
The Website or its service providers may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential website functions, remember preferences, measure traffic, or provide other configured services.
The types of cookies used depend on the technologies enabled on the Website. They may include:

5. Analytics and Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services to operate, protect, measure, or improve the Website. Depending on our actual configuration, these services may include website hosting, security and anti-spam tools, traffic analytics, or advertising providers.
Such providers may process certain technical information in accordance with their own privacy policies and contractual arrangements with us.
We do not represent that any particular analytics or advertising provider is active unless it is actually configured on the Website.
When we use third-party services, we aim to select services appropriate for the Website’s needs and to handle information in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
6. External Links
Our articles may link to third-party websites, including image search engines, visual recognition tools, image libraries, archives, and other online resources.
We do not control the privacy practices, security, content, or data-processing activities of those external websites.
When you leave our Website, we encourage you to review the privacy policy and terms of the destination website before submitting personal information, uploading images, or using its services.
A link to a third-party service does not necessarily mean that we own, operate, or endorse that service.
7. How We Share Information
We do not sell personal information to third parties in exchange for money.
We may disclose information in limited circumstances, such as:
- Service providers: To providers that help operate, host, secure, or maintain the Website, where necessary for their services.

We aim to limit disclosures to information reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
8. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
For example:
- Contact messages may be retained for as long as needed to respond to the inquiry and maintain appropriate records.
- Technical logs may be retained according to our hosting provider’s and security services’ retention settings.
- Analytics information may be retained according to the settings and policies of the analytics services we use, if any.
Actual retention periods depend on the systems and services configured for the Website.

9. Data Security
We use reasonable measures appropriate to the nature of the Website to help protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no website, online service, or method of electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You should avoid sending sensitive personal information through ordinary email or other channels that are not designed for that purpose.
10. International Data Transfers
Our hosting provider or other service providers may process information in countries outside your country of residence.
Where international transfers of personal information are subject to legal requirements, we will take steps required by applicable law to support those transfers.
