Privacy Policy

Welcome to pngbackgroundremover.com ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about how our service works. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect (and, more importantly, what we do not collect), how we use it, and your rights regarding your information.

By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the service.

PNG Background Remover is a 100% client-side application. This means:

• Your images are never uploaded to any server. All AI processing (background removal, editing, exporting) happens entirely within your web browser using on-device machine learning models.
• The AI model is downloaded once and cached locally in your browser. After the initial download, the tool works fully offline.
• We have no access to any images you process. Your files remain on your device at all times.

We want to be explicitly clear about what we do not collect:

• Images or photos — Your images never leave your device. We cannot see, access, store, or process your images on any server.
• Personal identification information — We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses.
• Account credentials — Our service requires no sign-up, login, or account creation of any kind.
• Payment information — Our tool is 100% free. We do not collect any financial or payment data.
• Precise geolocation — We do not request or track your precise location.

While we minimize data collection, the following may be automatically collected through standard web technologies:

4.1 Analytics Data

We may use privacy-respecting analytics services to understand general website usage patterns. This may include:

• Pages visited and general navigation flow
• Approximate geographic region (country-level, derived from IP)
• Browser type and operating system
• Screen resolution and device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• Referring website URL

This data is collected in aggregate and cannot be used to personally identify you. We do not link analytics data to individual users.

4.2 Technical Logs

Our hosting provider may automatically log standard server access information, including IP addresses, request timestamps, and user agent strings. These logs are used solely for security monitoring and are not used for tracking or profiling purposes.

Our website may use the following local storage mechanisms:

• Language preference — To remember your selected language across sessions.
• AI model cache — The machine learning model is cached in your browser's storage (IndexedDB/Cache API) so it doesn't need to be re-downloaded on subsequent visits.

You can clear these at any time through your browser settings. Doing so will not affect the service other than requiring the AI model to be re-downloaded.

Our website may use the following third-party services:

• Hosting provider (e.g., Vercel) — For serving the website. The hosting provider may process standard server access logs as described in Section 4.2.
• Content Delivery Network (CDN) — For fast delivery of the AI model files and website assets. CDN providers may process IP addresses for routing purposes.
• Google Fonts — For loading web fonts. Google may collect limited usage data as described in their privacy policy.

We do not use:

• Advertising networks or ad trackers
• Social media tracking pixels
• Third-party analytics that track individual users
• Any service that receives your uploaded images

Because our tool operates entirely client-side, your data benefits from the strongest possible protection: it never leaves your device.

• Images are processed in your browser's memory and are discarded when you close the tab or navigate away.
• We use HTTPS encryption for all website traffic, ensuring secure delivery of the application code and AI model.
• No user data is stored in any database — there is nothing to breach.

Our service does not require registration, does not collect personal data, and does not use tracking cookies. As such, it is compliant with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar regulations worldwide.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

• Right to Access — You may request information about what data we hold about you. Since we collect no personal data, the answer is: none.
• Right to Deletion — You may request deletion of your data. Since we store no personal data on our servers, there is nothing to delete.
• Right to Opt-Out — You may opt out of analytics by using browser extensions such as ad blockers or privacy tools, or by enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser.
• Right to Data Portability — All your processed images are already on your device. You have full control.

For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For users in California, we comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Under the GDPR, the legal basis for any minimal data processing (e.g., server logs) is our legitimate interest in maintaining website security and performance. Since we do not collect personal data for any commercial purpose, no consent is required for core functionality.

If you are located in the EEA and have a concern, you may contact your local Data Protection Authority.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any changes. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us:
