๐ Privacy Policy
Your privacy is not just a feature โ it's our foundation.
Last updated: June 28, 2026Data We Collect
We collect absolutely no data. No images are uploaded to any server. No personal information is requested, collected, or stored โ ever.
ByeByeMetaData is a 100% client-side image metadata removal tool. Your photos never leave your device. There are no user accounts, no email collection, no form submissions, and no data retention of any kind.
How Your Images Are Processed
All EXIF metadata removal happens entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Here's what happens when you use ByeByeMetaData:
- Your image is read locally using the browser's File API โ no network request is made
- EXIF metadata (GPS location, camera info, timestamps, serial numbers) is parsed using the exif-js library running in your browser
- The image is redrawn on a clean HTML5 Canvas, stripping all embedded metadata
- The clean image is exported as a new file and offered for download โ still in your browser
At no point during this process is any data transmitted over the internet. Your photos stay on your device from start to finish.
Cookies & Tracking
ByeByeMetaData does not set any cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, hotjar, or any tracking scripts. There are no session identifiers, no fingerprinting techniques, and no behavioral tracking of any kind.
We believe a private metadata remover should itself be private. That's why we've built this tool with zero telemetry from the ground up.
Third-Party Services
The site loads the following external resource:
- exif-js โ An open-source JavaScript library for reading EXIF data, loaded from the jsDelivr CDN. jsDelivr may collect anonymized request logs (such as IP addresses and request timestamps) per their own privacy policy.
No other third-party services, analytics platforms, or advertising networks are used.
Children's Privacy
Since ByeByeMetaData collects no personal data whatsoever, the service is safe and appropriate for users of all ages. We do not knowingly target or collect information from children under 13 (or any age).
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. If we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
Since we collect no data, changes to this policy are unlikely to be significant โ but we believe in full transparency.
