1. Privacy-First Architecture
Unlike traditional photo processing websites that transmit personal biometric photographs to remote cloud servers, VizaPics executes 100% of image processing locally inside your web browser using HTML5 Canvas and Web API technologies.
Your photos are never uploaded, never sent across the internet, and never stored in cookies or web databases. The moment you close or refresh your tab, all temporary image memory is immediately cleared by your browser.
2. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites to preserve session state. Modern web applications also use HTML5 Local Storage (localStorage), which provides a secure, sandboxed client-side key-value store directly inside your browser.
Local storage data never leaves your device and is not transmitted with HTTP request headers, making it more secure and bandwidth-efficient than traditional cookies.
3. Local Storage Keys Used by VizaPics
VizaPics strictly utilizes local browser storage solely for functional and operational convenience:
