This policy explains what information Clean Image Metadata (cleanimagemetadata.com) collects, how it is used and the choices you have.
1. Your images
Images you open with our tools are processed entirely on your device, in your web browser. They are never uploaded to our servers or shared with third parties. When you close the page, they are gone.
2. Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider records standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited, date and time) for security and to keep the site running. These logs are kept for a limited time and are not used to identify you.
3. Cookies
We use a small number of cookies: a cookie that remembers your consent choice, and — if you accept them — cookies set by advertising and analytics partners. See our cookie policy for details. You can change your choice at any time from the cookie banner.
4. Advertising (Google AdSense)
We may display ads served by Google and its partners. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before personalised ads or non-essential cookies are used.
5. Third-party resources
To convert iPhone HEIC files, your browser downloads an open-source decoder from the jsDelivr CDN. Only the library is downloaded; your image stays on your device.
6. Children
This website is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal data and to object to its processing. Because we do not store your images or create user accounts, we hold very little data about you. Contact us to exercise your rights.
8. Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version.
