Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2025

The short version

Your images never leave your device. Ever.

All AI processing runs locally in your browser. We have no server that receives your images. We collect no personal data. There is no account, no cookie for tracking, and no analytics that attach to you personally.

What we collect

We collect nothing personally identifiable. Specifically:

  • No images or files you process
  • No account information (there is no account)
  • No cookies used for tracking or advertising
  • No email address, name, or contact information

We may receive anonymized access logs from our CDN (Cloudflare Pages) as part of hosting. These logs include your IP address and the URL requested, retained for a short period per Cloudflare's standard data practices. We do not use these logs to identify or track individual users.

How background removal works (technically)

When you upload an image, it is processed entirely by JavaScript running in your browser tab. The AI model (a ~5 MB ONNX file) is downloaded once from our CDN and cached in your browser. After that, inference runs offline on your device's CPU or GPU. Your image pixels never leave your local machine at any stage.

You can verify this: open your browser's Network tab (F12 → Network) before uploading an image. You will see no outgoing request containing your image data.

Third-party services

  • Cloudflare Pages — hosts this site and serves static files. Cloudflare's own privacy policy applies to the CDN layer.
  • Ko-fi — if you click the "Buy me a coffee" link, you are directed to Ko-fi's website, which has its own privacy policy. Clicking is optional.

Changes to this policy

If we ever change how data is handled in a material way, we will update this page and change the "last updated" date at the top.
