Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 29th May 2025

1. Introduction

This privacy policy explains how the Background Remover Chrome extension ("the Extension") handles your data. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how your information is used.

2. What Data We Collect

Image Data

When you use the extension to remove the background from an image, the image is sent to your configured background removal API (e.g., your own FastAPI server) for processing. The extension does not store or share these images with any third parties.

User Preferences

The extension may store your preferences (such as whether background removal is enabled) locally in your browser using Chrome's storage API. This data is not transmitted or shared externally.

3. How We Use Your Data

Image Processing

Images are only sent to the background removal API for the sole purpose of processing and returning the result to you. No images are stored or used for any other purpose.

Preferences

User preferences are stored locally to improve your experience and are not shared with anyone.

4. Data Sharing

No Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your data to outside parties. All image processing is handled by the API endpoint you configure (which may be your own server).

No Analytics or Tracking

The extension does not use analytics, tracking, or advertising services.

5. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data. However, as with any internet-based service, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Images are transmitted securely to the API endpoint for processing.

6. User Control

Local Storage

You can clear your extension data at any time by removing the extension or clearing your browser's extension storage.

API Endpoint

If you use your own API server, you are responsible for its security and privacy practices.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
