Privacy Policy
This policy explains how pngscan.com handles information when you visit the site, search for graphics, download PNGs, or contact support. Plain language first — legal clarity second.
The short version
You can browse and download free transparent PNGs on pngscan.com without creating an account for core free use. We do not sell your personal information. We use basic technical data to keep the site online, secure, and useful. If you email us, we use that conversation to respond.
If you only needed the elevator pitch, you can stop here. The sections below add the detail regulators and careful users usually want.
Who this policy covers
This policy applies to visitors of pngscan.com websites and related pages we operate under this brand. It does not control third-party websites you may reach through external links, social icons, or trademark owners’ own sites.
Information we may collect
Technical and usage data. Like most websites, our servers and security layers may process IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, pages viewed, timestamps, and similar diagnostics. This helps us detect abuse, debug outages, and understand which pages matter.
Search and interaction data. Queries you type into site search, files you preview or download, and similar product events may be processed in aggregate or logs so we can improve relevance and performance.
Communications. If you email [email protected], we receive whatever you choose to send — name, email address, message content, and attachments.
Account data (only if membership features are enabled and you register). If you create an account or manage a membership on pngscan.com, we store the credentials and profile details needed to run that account. Free browsing without an account remains available for core free PNG use.
Cookies and similar technologies. We may use cookies, local storage, or similar tools for essentials (security, load balancing, preferences) and, when configured, analytics measurement such as a Google Analytics ID set by the site operator.
How we use information
We use data to operate and protect pngscan.com: serve pages, deliver downloads, prevent spam and scraping that hurts performance, diagnose errors, improve search and navigation, and respond to support or legal requests.
We may use aggregated, de-identified statistics (for example, “how many people opened the tools page this week”) to decide what to build next. Aggregated stats are not used to personally market to you without a lawful basis.
Legal bases (where applicable)
Depending on where you live, we may rely on legitimate interests (running a secure free website), contract (if you use a paid membership feature), consent (for optional analytics cookies where required), or legal obligation (responding to valid law-enforcement or copyright processes).
Sharing
We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with service providers who help us host, secure, measure, or operate the site — under obligations to use the data only for those purposes.
We may disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, or in connection with a business transfer (for example, if pngscan.com assets change ownership), still subject to this policy’s spirit of restraint.
Retention
Logs and support emails are kept only as long as reasonably needed for security, operations, and legal compliance. Exact windows vary by system. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it where practical.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the site. No online service is perfectly secure. Use strong unique passwords if you create an account, and be careful with links in unexpected emails claiming to be from pngscan.com.
Children
pngscan.com is a general-audience creative resource. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in a way that targets them for marketing. If you believe a child provided personal data inappropriately, contact [email protected] and we will take appropriate steps.
Your choices and rights
Depending on your region, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain personal data, or to object to certain processing. To make a request, email [email protected] with enough detail for us to verify and fulfill the request.
You can often control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking all cookies may break some site features.
International visitors
pngscan.com may be hosted or administered in a different country from where you live. By using the site, you understand that information may be processed in locations with different data-protection laws. We still aim to handle data carefully and lawfully.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the product evolves. When we do, we will change the content on this page. Continued use of pngscan.com after an update means you accept the revised policy for future visits. If a change is material and membership accounts exist, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.
