Privacy Policy
The Short Version
Your images never leave your device. All processing happens in your browser. We cannot see your photos, we do not store them, and we have no access to the metadata we help you remove.
Image Processing
When you use JustWipeMetadata to remove metadata from an image:
- • Your image is processed entirely within your web browser
- • No image data is transmitted to any server
- • No image data is stored anywhere outside your device
- • The original file on your device is never modified
- • Processed images exist only in your browser's memory until you download them
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand how our site is used. This may include:
- • Page views and general usage patterns
- • Browser and device type (for compatibility improvements)
- • Geographic region (country-level, not precise location)
Analytics never include any information about the images you process, the metadata contained in them, or any content you upload.
Cookies
We use minimal cookies:
- • Essential cookies - for basic site functionality
- • Preference cookies - to remember your settings (like output format preference)
- • Analytics cookies - if you consent, for anonymous usage statistics
Third-Party Services
This site may use:
- • Google Fonts - for typography (loads font files from Google's servers)
- • Netlify - for hosting the website
None of these services have access to the images you process.
Data Retention
Since your images are never uploaded:
- • We retain zero image data
- • We retain zero metadata from your images
- • Processed images exist only in your browser until you close the tab
Your Rights
Because we don't collect or store your image data, there's nothing for us to delete or provide. However, if you have questions about analytics data or cookies, please contact us.
Verification
You can verify our privacy practices yourself:
- Open your browser's developer tools (F12 or right-click → Inspect)
- Go to the Network tab
- Process an image on our site
- Observe that no image data is sent to any server
