Privacy Policy

1. Our Privacy Commitment

At Exif Cleaner, your privacy is our top priority. We have built this tool with a "Privacy by Design" approach. We believe that you shouldn't have to sacrifice your personal data to use professional-grade metadata removal tools.

2. Zero Data Retention

Our core principle is simple: We do not store your images.

• Images are uploaded to a secure, temporary, and volatile directory.
• Processing happens instantly in server-side memory.
• Files are set to auto-delete within minutes of processing.
• Once you close your session, your data is unreachable.

3. Minimal Analytics & No Profiling

We use Google Analytics to collect basic, anonymized usage statistics (such as page views and feature usage) to help us improve the service. We do not build user profiles, we do not sell or share your data with third parties, and we do not follow your movements across the web. We don't even ask for your email address to use the basic metadata cleaning service.

4. Advertising & Cookies (Google AdSense)

While we do not use cookies for tracking or profiling users ourselves, this website may display advertisements provided by Google AdSense.

Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads based on user consent and applicable laws. These cookies are used to serve and measure advertisements and are managed through Google’s Consent Management Platform (CMP).

Users in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland are asked for consent before any non-essential cookies are used. You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time through the consent message shown on this website.

5. Metadata Handling

Our stripping engine removes all EXIF, GPS, IPTC, and XMP metadata from your files. This includes GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, software versions, and timestamp data. We do not keep a log of the metadata we remove.
