Privacy policy

Last updated: 11 November 2026

FreeRemoveBg is designed so that your pictures never leave your device. This page explains plainly what is processed, and where.

In short

No upload: your pictures and their results are processed in your browser and are never sent to the publisher or to anyone else.

No account, no cookies, no analytics, no advertising.

What stays on your device

The pictures you open are read by your browser. Finding the subject (the AI model), changing the background, retouching and saving are all computed locally, on your graphics card or your processor.

Pictures and results are kept in the page's memory only: they are not stored, and they are gone as soon as you close or reload the tab. Download what you want to keep.

Local storage

The application saves your interface preferences (language, theme) in your browser's local storage, and keeps its own files and the downloaded AI model in the browser cache so it can work offline. These items are strictly necessary for the service, are never used to track you and therefore need no consent banner.

You can erase them at any time by deleting this site's data in your browser's settings.

Server

The server only delivers the application files and keeps no access logs. Like any web server, it technically receives your IP address to answer requests, but does not store it.

Third parties

Cloudflare: every request to this site goes through Cloudflare, which protects the server and encrypts the connection. Like any network intermediary, it processes your IP address and your browser's standard information to route the pages, and may keep technical logs for security purposes; it never receives your pictures, which never leave your device. See its privacy policy.

Hugging Face: the AI model is downloaded straight from huggingface.co the first time you remove a background, then kept by your browser. Hugging Face then receives your IP address and your browser's usual information, but never your pictures. See its privacy policy.

GitHub: only if you follow a link to the source code repository.

No other third party is contacted: a strict Content-Security-Policy technically prevents the page from connecting anywhere else.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have a right of access, rectification, erasure and objection. As the publisher holds no data about you, there is usually nothing to consult, but you can send any question to [email protected]. You can also lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL (cnil.fr).

Changes

This policy may be updated when the application evolves. The date of the last update is at the top of this page.
