Privacy Policy

1. Introduction & Overview

At Remove Bground (removebground.com), your privacy is our primary commitment, not an afterthought. This Privacy Policy details how our website operates, what data is processed, and how our in-browser architecture safeguards your files.

Unlike traditional web services that upload user files to remote servers or third-party cloud APIs, Remove Bground processes your images directly inside your web browser.

2. In-Browser Image Processing Architecture

When you drag, paste, or select an image file on Remove Bground:

• The file is read directly into your device's random access memory (RAM) via standard browser APIs (FileReader, ImageBitmap).
• The IS-Net segmentation model executes inference inside your browser using WebGPU or WebAssembly (WASM) via the Microsoft ONNX Runtime Web engine.
• Alpha masking and rendering are performed locally using the HTML5 Canvas API.
• When you click "Download", the transparent PNG is generated locally as an Object URL (blob:) and saved to your device.

At no point during this process does your image leave your machine.

3. AI Model Weight Files & Local Storage

To perform background removal on your device, your browser downloads static neural network model weights (.onnx) and WebAssembly binary executables (.wasm).

These static files are cached in standard browser storage (CacheStorage or IndexedDB) so you don't have to re-download the model on subsequent visits. This data contains purely public open-source model weights, never user images or personal information.

4. Information We Do NOT Collect

We intentionally minimize data collection to the greatest degree possible:

5. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Remove Bground does not use cross-site tracking cookies, behavioral advertising cookies, or persistent user fingerprinting mechanisms.

Any client-side preferences (such as light/dark mode choices or tool configuration) are stored strictly within your browser's localStorage on your own device.

6. Telemetry & Anonymous Analytics

To maintain service reliability and diagnose hardware compatibility issues across different devices and browsers, we may collect aggregated, non-personally identifiable technical telemetry:

• Browser type and version (e.g. Safari 18, Chrome 130)
• Hardware acceleration status (WebGPU support vs. WebAssembly CPU fallback)
• Inference latency metrics (e.g. average processing duration)
• Aggregated page visit counts

Telemetry metrics are entirely anonymous and are never tied to image data, IP addresses, or personal identifiers.

7. Third-Party CDNs & Infrastructure

Remove Bground is hosted on static edge infrastructure. Content delivery networks (CDNs) deliver static HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and public AI model weights. These hosting providers record standard HTTP request headers (such as IP address and user-agent string) in automated server logs solely for security, DDoS defense, and rate limiting.

8. GDPR & CCPA Compliance

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

• Right to Know / Access: Because we do not collect personal profiles or store user photos, we hold no personal data associated with you.
• Right to Deletion: All processed image data exists purely in your local browser memory and is purged automatically when you close or reload the browser tab.
• Sale of Personal Information: We do not sell, rent, or monetize your personal information or content under any circumstances.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website is suitable for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA) in compliance with COPPA and relevant regulations.
