Privacy
Short version: your photo is processed on your device and never uploaded. There are two exceptions, both of which you choose deliberately, and both are described below.
Your photos
When you make a photo, the AI models run inside your browser tab. Your image is read from your device into your browser's memory, processed there, and written back out as a download. It is never sent to us. You can verify this: load the page, turn off your Wi-Fi, and the tool still works.
We never store a photo, at any point, under any circumstance. There is no photo database.
Exception 1: if you ask us to email your photos
To send your photos by email, we have to receive them. If you use that form, your two image files are transmitted to our server, attached to one email, and discarded when the send completes. They are held in memory only, never written to disk, and never logged. If you don't use the form, nothing leaves your device.
Exception 2: if your device can't run the AI
Some older phones and browsers can't run the background-removal model locally. In that case the tool asks whether to finish the job on our server. Your image is sent, processed in memory, and the result returned — again, never written to disk and never stored. You'll always see this happen; it is not silent.
What we do store
If you give us your email address, we store:
- your email address;
- which document you made a photo for, and which page you were on;
- campaign parameters from the link you arrived through, if any;
- whether you ticked the box to receive occasional tips;
- the country your request came from, and the date.
That is the complete list. We do not store your name, your photo, your IP address, or anything from the photo itself. Every email we send includes a one-click unsubscribe link. To have your record deleted entirely, use the unsubscribe link or contact us and we'll remove it.
Analytics
We count how many people use the site, on our own server. Each time a page loads, or a photo is started, finished or downloaded, we record one row containing: what happened, which page it happened on, which document was chosen, the country the request came from, and the time.
That row contains no cookie, no device or browser identifier, no IP address and no user agent. There is nothing to link one row to another or to a person, which means we can tell you how many photos were made yesterday but not who made them, and not whether any two of them were the same visitor.
We use no third-party analytics at all.
We don't use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, or third-party trackers.
Error reports
When something goes wrong in your browser — the photo tool failing to start, for example — we record one row so we can find and fix it. It holds the error, the page it happened on, the document you had chosen, a coarse description of your browser and system such as “Safari 18 / iOS”, and a few capability flags that tell us whether the tool could run at all.
It does not hold your full browser string, your IP address, any identifier, or anything from your photo. It is enough to tell “every iPhone user is hitting this” apart from “one person had a bad day”, which is the only question we need it to answer.
Cookies
We don't set any cookies. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to.
Third parties
The AI models are open-source files served from our own domain, not a third-party CDN, so using the tool doesn't reveal your visit to anyone else. If you use the email feature, your address and files pass through our email provider solely to deliver that message.
