Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 29, 2025

Our Privacy Commitment

At EXIF Removal, we take your privacy seriously. Our service is designed with privacy as the core principle - all image processing happens directly in your web browser.

How Our Service Works

When you use our EXIF removal tool:

  • Images are processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript
  • No images are uploaded to our servers
  • No image data is transmitted over the internet
  • We have no access to your photos or their contents
  • Processing happens locally on your device

Information We Don't Collect

We do NOT collect, store, or have access to:

  • Your images or photos
  • EXIF data from your images
  • Personal information from your photos
  • Location data or GPS coordinates
  • Any content within your images

Information We May Collect

To improve our service and ensure it runs smoothly, we may collect:

  • Anonymous usage statistics: Page views, feature usage (without any image data)
  • Technical information: Browser type, device type, screen resolution
  • Error logs: Technical errors that occur (never containing image data)

Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal cookies for:

  • Remembering your theme preference (light/dark mode)
  • Basic analytics to improve our service
  • No tracking cookies or advertising cookies are used

Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services:

  • Analytics: To understand usage patterns (Google Analytics with IP anonymization)
  • CDN: To deliver our website faster (Cloudflare)

These services have their own privacy policies and do not have access to your images.

Data Security

Since image processing happens in your browser:

  • Your images never leave your device
  • There's no risk of server breaches exposing your photos
  • We use HTTPS encryption for all website traffic
  • No image data is stored in browser cache or localStorage

Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data or images, traditional data rights (access, deletion, portability) don't apply. However, you always have the right to:

  • Use our service anonymously
  • Clear your browser data at any time

Children's Privacy

Our service does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. Since we don't collect user data or images, children can safely use our tool with parental guidance.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify users of any material changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this policy.

Open Source Commitment

To ensure transparency, our image processing code is open for inspection. You can verify that no image data is transmitted to external servers.

Summary

The key point: Your images never leave your device. We can't see, access, or store your photos because all processing happens in your browser. This is privacy by design.
