Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how ImgStorage collects, uses, and handles your information. By using ImgStorage, you agree to these practices.

1. What We Collect

  • Account info: Your name, email, and profile picture from Google or GitHub OAuth.
  • API keys: Generated keys associated with your account.
  • Image metadata: Filename, file size, MIME type, upload timestamp, and Telegram file ID. We do NOT store the actual image binary in our database.
  • Usage data: Number of API requests per key for dashboard display.

2. Where Your Data Lives

⚠️ Important

Your actual image files are stored on Telegram's servers, not on ImgStorage's own infrastructure. ImgStorage only stores a reference ID. Images served at /i/:id are publicly accessible to anyone with the URL — they are not access-controlled by default.

  • Database: Account info and metadata stored on NeonDB (PostgreSQL).
  • Images: Stored on Telegram's infrastructure via the Bot API.
  • Hosting: Platform hosted on Vercel.

3. No Guarantee of Privacy or Security

ImgStorage does not encrypt images before sending them to Telegram. ImgStorage cannot guarantee that uploaded images will remain private or secure. Do not upload sensitive, private, or personally identifiable images using the hosted service.

4. How We Use Your Information

  • To authenticate your identity and maintain your session.
  • To associate images with your account and API key.
  • To display usage statistics in your dashboard.
  • To serve images via the /i/:slug endpoint.

We do not use your data for advertising or sell it to third parties.

5. Third Parties

6. Data Deletion

Deleting an image removes the metadata from our database and sends a deletion request to Telegram. To delete your account entirely, contact us via GitHub or the dashboard.

7. Self-Hosting

For complete control over your data, self-host ImgStorage using your own Telegram bot and infrastructure. When self-hosting, you are the data controller and responsible for your own compliance.
