Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This policy explains what information Bg Remover ("we," "us") collects when you use our website and background-removal tools, why we collect it, and the choices you have. By using the service, you agree to the practices described here.

2. What we collect

We keep data collection to what's needed to run and improve the product:

• Uploaded images. The photos you submit for background removal or other editing tools.
• Account information. If you create an account: your name, email address, and password (stored as a salted hash, never in plain text).
• Usage data. Pages visited, features used, and approximate processing times, used to diagnose issues and improve performance.
• Device and log data. IP address, browser type, and device information, collected automatically for security and analytics.
• Communications. Anything you send us directly, like support requests or newsletter sign-ups.

3. How we handle your images

Your uploaded images are the most sensitive data we touch, so we treat them with extra care:

• Images are transmitted over an encrypted connection (HTTPS/TLS).
• Processing happens either directly in your browser or on our servers, depending on the tool — where server-side processing is used, the image is held only long enough to generate your result.
• Uploaded and processed images are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers within 24 hours.
• We do not use your images to train AI models unless you explicitly opt in separately.
• We do not review, publish, or share your images with anyone, except where required by law.

4. How we use information

We use the data described above to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain the background-removal and editing tools.
• Process your images and return your results.
• Monitor and improve performance, reliability, and accuracy.
• Respond to support requests and communicate service updates.
• Detect, prevent, and address abuse, fraud, or security issues.
• Meet legal obligations where applicable.

5. When we share information

We don't sell your personal data or images. We share information only in these limited cases:

• Service providers. Vetted vendors who help us host infrastructure, process payments, or send email, bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Legal requirements. If required to comply with a valid legal request, protect our rights, or prevent harm.
• Business transfers. If Bg Remover is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, data may transfer as part of that transaction, subject to this policy's commitments.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

We use essential cookies to keep the site functional (like remembering your dark/light mode preference) and optional analytics cookies to understand how the product is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling non-essential cookies won't block core functionality.

7. Data retention

• Uploaded and processed images: deleted within 24 hours.
• Account information: retained while your account is active, and deleted within 30 days of account deletion.
• Usage and log data: retained for up to 12 months for security and diagnostics, then aggregated or deleted.

8. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate data or request deletion.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format.
• Withdraw consent at any time where we rely on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in the section below.

9. Security

We use industry-standard safeguards — encryption in transit, access controls, and regular security reviews — to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security, but we work to minimize risk at every step.

10. Children's privacy

Bg Remover is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your region), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we'll remove it.

11. International users

We may process and store data in countries other than your own. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, for international data transfers.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page, and where appropriate, we'll provide additional notice.
