Customer Support
In order to help our customers we need to use their personal data:

Running the service
For the proper running of our image optimization service we keep: IPs, country of origin, Browser, number of images and PDF files, the names of the images and PDF files, the URLs of the images and PDF files, URIs (domains), PHP version. We need this info to connect our servers to our clients’ servers, where the images needing compression are hosted. The info is also needed for maintenance and for building appropriate tools for our clients.
