Privacy Policy

Introduction

Metadata Remover is a pure-frontend image-metadata tool site. Every tool runs entirely in your browser — viewing, removing, editing, adding, copying, and comparing image metadata (EXIF, XMP, IPTC, GPS, C2PA Content Credentials) all happen client-side in JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to any server. This privacy policy explains the limited data we do process and how third-party advertising works on the site.

Information We Collect

Because all image processing happens locally on your device, we do not collect, store, or transmit your images or the metadata within them. We also do not require accounts and do not collect your name, email address, or contact details.

The only information stored on your device is local preferences:

• Language and theme preferences — stored in your browser's localStorage so the site remembers your choices across visits.
• Cookie consent choice — stored in localStorage so we don't re-prompt you (see Cookie Policy).

Advertising — Google AdSense

To keep our tools free, this site displays ads through Google AdSense. Google, as a third-party vendor, may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

• Google's use of advertising cookies is described at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
• For users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, and Switzerland, personalized advertising cookies are only loaded after you give consent through our cookie consent banner (Consent Mode v2). You may choose to accept or reject personalized ads.
• You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time via Google Ads Settings at google.com/settings/ads.

Non-personalized ads may still be served to users who reject consent, as permitted by Google's policies.

Data Security

All image processing takes place in your browser; files never leave your device. Data transmitted between your browser and our servers (for serving the website itself) uses HTTPS. We do not maintain a backend database containing user content.

Third-Party Services

• Google AdSense — advertising (see above).
• Your browser vendor — localStorage is subject to your browser's own storage policies.

We do not sell your personal data.

Your Rights (GDPR and Similar Laws)

If you are in the EEA, UK, or other regions with data-protection laws, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Correct or delete inaccurate data
• Withdraw consent to advertising cookies at any time (reopen the consent banner or clear localStorage)
• Object to certain processing

Because we do not collect personal data directly, these rights primarily concern the advertising cookies set by Google. To exercise rights regarding Google's advertising data, use the tools at Google Ads Settings and Google Privacy & Terms.

Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised date.
