Privacy policy

Summary: your images never leave your device. Background removal runs entirely in your browser. We don't receive, store or see the images you process.

[OWNER: add the operator details here (name or company, address, company ID if applicable). This draft is not legal advice; have it checked against the rules that apply to you.]

Your images

• Images you select, drop or paste are decoded and processed locally in your browser, by a model that runs on your device.
• Image data is not sent to us or to anyone else. You can check this in your browser's developer tools (Network tab).
• Nothing is kept after you close the tab. We don't store images in your browser's storage.

The model download

The first time you use the tool, your browser downloads the AI model and the ONNX Runtime program files from our content server (the models. subdomain, hosted on Cloudflare R2). Like any web server, it processes the technical data needed to deliver files, such as your IP address and browser type. These requests contain no image data. Your browser keeps the model in its cache so it doesn't have to download it again. You can delete it at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser.

Hosting

The website is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare processes technical connection data (such as IP addresses) to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics. It doesn't use cookies and doesn't track you across sites. It gives us aggregate numbers such as page views, and records nothing about your images.

Advertising and cookies

The site shows ads from Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show and measure ads and, with your consent, to personalise them. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent first, using Google's certified consent tool. You can change your choice at any time through the privacy settings link that the consent tool shows. More information: how Google uses data for ads.

The tool works fully whether you accept, decline or block ads.

What we store in your browser

• The AI model and ONNX Runtime files (Cache Storage), so you don't download them twice.
• Small preferences in local storage: colour theme, last download format and background, and whether you dismissed the language suggestion.

None of these contain images or personal information.

Legal basis and your rights

[OWNER: confirm the legal bases, for example legitimate interest for hosting and security, and consent for personalised ads.] Under the GDPR you have the right to access, correct and delete your personal data, to object to processing, to withdraw consent and to complain to a supervisory authority. Because we don't collect your images or create accounts, we usually hold no personal data about you. Contact us at {{CONTACT_EMAIL}}.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
