1. Scope and who we are
This Privacy Policy describes the UWH Image Optimizer product website (the “Website”) and the UWH Image Optimizer & Converter WordPress plugin (the “Plugin”). The product is presented by United Web Host. For contact details and the separate policies that apply to hosting services, visit unitedwebhost.com.
2. Website information
The Website is an informational site with static content and a downloadable plugin ZIP. It does not include account registration, payment collection, comment submissions or a contact form. This website does not intentionally embed analytics scripts, advertising trackers, remote fonts or social-tracking widgets.
Your web host may nevertheless collect standard server access and security logs, which can contain IP addresses, browser information, request timestamps and visited paths. Their retention and controls depend on the hosting environment.
3. Cookies and local storage
The Website itself does not intentionally set tracking cookies or use browser local storage for profiling. Other websites reached through external links, including the main United Web Host site, have their own privacy and cookie practices.
4. How image files are processed by the Plugin
The Plugin performs supported image conversion and optimization locally on the WordPress hosting server using compatible server encoders. It may also use bundled browser-side helper code for supported upload workflows. No external image-processing API is required. The Plugin is not designed to upload image files or conversion analytics to United Web Host.
5. Data stored in WordPress
The Plugin can store settings, conversion profiles, optimization state, image attachment metadata, history entries, progress data and information about available rollback points in the WordPress database. These records support the features the site owner chooses to use.
6. Original images, temporary previews and rollback backups
Image processing may create temporary previews and local snapshots of previous image states. These files are stored in plugin-managed locations on the WordPress server and may take up disk space. Authorized site administrators can review or delete stored backups with the Plugin’s controls. Deleting a backup removes the corresponding restore option. Copies may also persist in independent website/server backups controlled by the site owner or host.
7. Sharing and external services
The Website links to official United Web Host pages and may provide the downloadable plugin ZIP directly. The Plugin does not require a third-party conversion service for image processing. If the WordPress site has separate themes, plugins, CDNs, analytics, security tools or backups, those components may independently process information under their own policies.
8. Security and access
Image operations and settings are designed for authorized WordPress users and can be subject to WordPress capabilities and request validation. No server or software can promise absolute security. Website owners should maintain current WordPress/PHP versions, limit administrator access, use backups and review hosting permissions.
9. Retention and deletion
Website server logs are subject to the host’s retention practices. Plugin history, settings, temporary files and rollback snapshots may persist until cleaned by supported plugin operations or your site management processes. Deactivation does not necessarily delete retained backups. Uninstall behavior depends on the installed plugin version and any separate copies created by backups.
10. Rights and inquiries
If you have questions about this Website or Plugin privacy practices, contact info@unitedwebhost.com. If your personal data is handled by a WordPress website using this plugin, contact that website’s owner to exercise applicable data rights for their site.
11. Children
This Website is intended for WordPress administrators and website operators rather than directed at children. It does not offer child-specific services or targeted marketing.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy if the Website or Plugin changes. Any revised version will show a new “Last updated” date on this page.
See our Terms & Conditions and the official United Web Host Privacy Policy for separate hosting/service practices.
