Privacy Policy

Short version: when you use the background remover, your image is processed inside your own browser and is never sent to us or anyone else. This page explains exactly what happens, technically.

1. How the tool processes your images

Deback's background remover runs entirely client-side. Concretely, this means:

  • When you choose an image, it is read into your browser tab's memory using the File API. It is not uploaded to any server operated by us.
  • The AI segmentation model runs in your browser via WebAssembly. The pixel data never leaves your device during processing.
  • The resulting transparent PNG is generated in your browser and downloaded directly to your device.
  • Closing the tab discards the image from memory. We have no copy because we never received one.

This local-processing architecture is the default and only mode of the free tool. If a future feature ever required server-side processing, it would be offered as a clearly labeled separate option — never silently substituted.

2. Third parties your browser contacts

Even though your image stays local, your browser necessarily contacts a few third-party services to load the page and the AI model. These contacts transmit standard web-request metadata (such as your IP address and user agent) but never your image data:

  • Our static host (the content delivery network serving this website's HTML, CSS, and JavaScript).
  • jsDelivr CDN (cdn.jsdelivr.net) — delivers the Transformers.js inference library file.
  • Hugging Face CDN (huggingface.co) — delivers the open-licensed AI model weight files. This is a static file download, like downloading any file; no image content is sent in return.
  • Cloudflare Web Analytics (cloudflareinsights.com) — counts aggregate page visits. Cookie-free and does not track individual users; see §3.

We do not control these providers' logging practices; refer to their published privacy policies if this concerns you.

3. What we collect

We do not operate user accounts and the free tool itself never asks for your name, email address, phone number, or payment details.

Optional email waitlists: a few pages offer an optional email signup to be notified when upcoming features (such as Seller Studio additions or larger batch runs) launch. If you choose to sign up, your browser sends your email address — and nothing else — to our form relay provider, FormSubmit (formsubmit.co), which forwards it to our inbox. Your address is used only to send the update you asked for. To be removed, reply to any update email or contact us via the contact page and ask to be taken off the list. Note: we have not yet set a fixed retention period for waitlist addresses — this section will be updated once that decision is made.

Analytics: we use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count aggregate page visits (which pages are viewed, roughly how often). It is privacy-first: it sets no cookies, does not fingerprint your browser, and does not track you across sites. It measures page loads only — it never sees, receives, or records your image contents.

Anonymous usage counter: each time the background remover finishes a run, your browser sends one anonymous ping to our server that increments a total run counter. The ping contains no image data, no identifiers, and no cookies — just a count. It cannot be traced back to you or your images.

Anonymous star ratings: if you tap a star rating after a run, your browser sends one anonymous ping with just the star count (1–5). No identifiers, no cookies, no image data — only the number. Your detailed rating history stays on your own device.

Server logs: our static host may keep standard web-server logs (request timestamps, URLs, IP addresses) as part of normal operations. We do not combine these with waitlist email addresses or any other personal data.

4. Cookies and local storage

We do not set tracking cookies. Your browser may cache the AI model files locally (via the Cache Storage API) so repeat visits are faster — this cache lives on your device, is under your control, and contains model weights, not your images. Clearing your browser's site data removes it.

Advertising cookies: we may display ads served by Google AdSense. When ads are shown, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Our tool itself never uploads your images regardless of whether ads are displayed.

5. Children's privacy

This service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The tool itself requires no account and collects no personal data; the only personal data we hold is email addresses voluntarily submitted through the optional waitlists described above — a parent or guardian may request removal via the contact page.

6. Your rights

Depending on where you live (including California and the EU/UK), you may have rights to access, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. The tool itself collects no personal data, so most requests will have nothing to act on — but if you signed up for an email waitlist, you may ask us to confirm, correct, or delete your address at any time via the contact page, and we will respond in good faith.

7. Changes to this policy

If we change how data is handled, we will update this page and the effective date above. Material changes will be noted plainly, not buried.
