Privacy Policy

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At RemoveBGFree.me, we believe privacy is a fundamental right. This Privacy Policy explains how our service handles your data. The short version: we don't collect, store, or transmit your images.

1. Data We Collect

1.1 No Personal Data Collection

We do not collect, store, or process any personal information including:

• Name, email address, or contact information
• User accounts or profiles
• Usage analytics or behavioral data
• Location data or device fingerprints

1.2 No Image Data Collection

Your images are never uploaded to our servers. All processing occurs locally within your browser using WebAssembly technology.

2. How Your Data is Processed

2.1 Local-Only Processing

Our background removal service works entirely in your web browser:

• Step 1: You select an image from your device
• Step 2: The AI model (Transformers.js) is loaded into your browser's memory
• Step 3: All image processing happens locally on your device
• Step 4: You download the result directly from your browser

2.2 AI Model Loading

The AI model used for background removal (RMBG-1.4) is loaded from public CDNs (jsDelivr/unpkg) directly to your browser. This is a one-time download that gets cached in your browser for subsequent uses.

3. Third-Party Services

3.1 Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)

We use public CDNs to deliver the AI model and JavaScript libraries to your browser:

• jsDelivr - For hosting the Transformers.js library
• unpkg - Alternative CDN source for redundancy
• Google Fonts - For web fonts (optional, loaded with preconnect)

These CDNs may collect standard server logs (IP address, browser type, request time), but we have no control over their data practices.

3.2 Performance Monitoring

We use Vercel Speed Insights to collect website performance metrics (such as page load speed and interaction responsiveness) to improve your experience. This data does not contain personal identity information.

We do not use:

• Google Analytics or similar tracking tools
• Facebook Pixel or social media tracking
• Any advertising or marketing analytics

4. Cookies and Local Storage

4.1 Browser Cache

Your browser automatically caches the AI model file (~150MB) for faster loading on subsequent visits. This is standard browser behavior, not a cookie we set.

4.2 No Tracking Cookies

We do not use cookies for:

• User tracking
• Behavioral analytics
• Marketing purposes
• Advertising targeting

4.3 Optional Features

If we add optional features in the future (like remembering your preferences), we would:

• Clearly inform you before using cookies
• Require your explicit consent
• Provide a way to opt-out

5. Children's Privacy

Our service is suitable for all ages. Since we collect no personal information, it is inherently safe for minors to use. Parents and guardians can allow children to use our service without privacy concerns.

6. Your Rights and Choices

6.1 No Account to Delete

Since we don't create user accounts or store personal data, there's no account to delete or modify.

6.2 Browser Control

You have full control over your browser data:

• Clear cache: Remove the cached AI model from your browser storage
• Block scripts: Use browser settings to disable JavaScript (this will disable our tool)
• Incognito mode: Use our service in private/incognito browsing mode for complete local isolation

6.3 Data Portability

Since we don't store your data, all your content remains on your device. You retain full control and ownership of your images at all times.

7. Security

We implement industry-standard security practices:

• HTTPS encryption for all connections to our website
• Subresource Integrity (SRI) checks for external scripts (where applicable)
• Regular security audits of our codebase

However, since all processing happens locally in your browser, the primary security is your device's own security settings and browser protections.

8. International Data Transfers

Since we do not collect, store, or process your data on our servers, there are no international data transfers. Your data never leaves your device.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.

Material changes will be highlighted prominently on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

11. Privacy by Design

Our service was built with privacy as a core principle:

• Local-first architecture - Processing happens on your device, not ours
• No account required - No personal data needed to use the service
• No databases - We have no user databases to hack or breach
• No behavioral analytics - We only monitor performance, not how you use our tool
• Open source technology - Built on transparent, auditable libraries

12. Glossary

What is local processing?

Local processing means computations happen on your device rather than on a remote server. Your images stay on your phone or computer.

What is WebAssembly?

WebAssembly (Wasm) is a technology that allows code (like AI models) to run in your web browser at near-native speed, enabling local processing without servers.

What are CDNs?

Content Delivery Networks are geographically distributed servers that deliver content (like the AI model) faster to users around the world.
