Privacy Policy

Introduction

AI Metadata Cleaner ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This privacy policy explains how we handle information when you use our website at aimetadatacleaner.com and our image metadata removal service.

Image Processing and Data Collection

AI Metadata Cleaner operates on a privacy-first principle. All image processing occurs entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to our servers, transmitted over the internet, or stored anywhere outside of your device.

We do not collect, access, store, or transmit any of the images or metadata you process through our service. The metadata removal process happens locally on your computer, and your files remain completely under your control at all times.

Account Information

If you choose to create an account on our platform, we collect the following information:

• Email address (used for authentication and account communications)
• Account preferences and subscription status

Account data is stored securely through our authentication provider, Supabase. You can delete your account at any time by contacting us.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics (Google LLC) to understand how visitors use our website. Google Analytics collects information such as:

• Pages visited and time spent on pages
• Referring website or search terms
• Browser type and device information
• General geographic location (country/city level)

Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this data. The information is processed in aggregate to help us improve our website and understand usage patterns. No data about your uploaded images or processing activities is included in analytics. For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.

None of these third-party services have access to the images you process through our application, as all image processing occurs locally in your browser.

Data Security

We take data security seriously. Since all image processing happens in your browser and no image data is transmitted to our servers, your images and metadata remain completely under your control. For account data, we rely on industry-standard security measures provided by our authentication and payment partners.
