Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2025

1. Who we are

CleanerWatermark ("we", "us") operates the website cleanerwatermark.com. For any privacy-related questions, contact us at hello@cleanerwatermark.com.

2. Data we process

We collect and process as little data as possible. Specifically:

• Images you upload: Images sent for watermark removal are transmitted to our processing server over HTTPS. They are processed immediately and not stored on our servers. The result is streamed directly back to your browser.
• Local browser storage: We store your preferences (language, theme, usage count) in localStorage. This data never leaves your browser and is not transmitted to us.
• Payment data: If you purchase a Pro subscription, payment is handled entirely by Stripe. We do not receive or store your card details.
• No account, no email: The free tier requires no registration. We do not collect your email unless you contact us voluntarily.

3. Cookies

We do not use tracking or advertising cookies. The only browser storage we use is localStorage for your preferences (theme, language, free-use counter). This is not a cookie and is not transmitted to any server.

4. Third-party services

• Stripe: Payment processing. Stripe's privacy policy applies to payment interactions.
• Railway: Our AI backend hosting. Images pass through Railway's infrastructure for processing. Railway does not store user data.
• Vercel: Our frontend hosting. Vercel may log standard server-access logs (IP, timestamp, URL). See Vercel's privacy policy.
• Google Fonts: We load the Geist font from Google Fonts, which may log your IP. As an alternative, you can use a local font if you prefer.

5. Your rights

Under applicable privacy law (GDPR and others), you have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. Since we store almost no personal data, there is typically nothing to delete. For any request, email hello@cleanerwatermark.com.

6. Data transfers

Our infrastructure is hosted in the EU and US. When you use our service, your image may be transmitted to servers outside your country. This transfer is necessary for the service to function and is secured by HTTPS encryption.

7. Children

Our service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance.
