Privacy
Privacy and legal notice
Short version: no account, no cookie, no tracker, no advertising. The website and the image downloads only handle the technical data any web server sees, and download counts are kept without IP addresses.
Who is responsible
Open Image Cloud is a non-profit community project published by Kevin Allioli, who is the controller for the processing described here. Contact: privacy@openimages.cloud.
The website
- openimages.cloud is a static site served by Cloudflare. To deliver a page, Cloudflare necessarily receives your IP address, browser user agent and the requested address, and keeps short-lived technical logs to operate and protect the service.
- There is no analytics tool, no cookie and no third-party script, font or embed. Fonts are served from the site itself.
- The light or dark theme you pick is stored in your browser (local storage) and never sent to us.
Image downloads
- Images are downloaded from images.openimages.cloud, which runs on Cloudflare and fetches the files from object storage at Infomaniak in Switzerland. Infomaniak only sees Cloudflare, not your address.
- To publish download statistics, each download records the image, version and file, the country derived by Cloudflare, the first word of the client's user agent (for example "curl" or "mozilla") and the response size. No IP address and no identifier is stored. These records are kept for 90 days at most; only daily totals may be kept longer.
Email and GitHub
If you write to an openimages.cloud address, your message is used only to answer it. Issues, pull requests and discussions happen on GitHub, under GitHub's own privacy policy.
Purpose and legal basis
The data above is processed only to run the website and the downloads, keep them secure and publish aggregate download counts. This relies on a legitimate interest in operating the service. Nothing is sold, shared for advertising or used to build profiles.
Your rights
Under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection and, where it applies, the GDPR, you can ask for access to, correction or deletion of data about you, and object to its processing, by writing to privacy@openimages.cloud. You can also complain to the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner or to the data protection authority of your country.
