Privacy Policy

Effective Date: Month Day, YearLast Updated: Month Day, Year

MinoRemove ("MinoRemove," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website located at https://minoremove.com (the "Website") and provides browser-based media editing tools (collectively, the "Services").

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit or use our Services. By using MinoRemove, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Our Privacy-First Approach

MinoRemove is designed to process supported media locally in your browser whenever the relevant feature is available.

When you upload an image, GIF, video, or other supported media file for local processing:

Your original media file is processed on your device in your web browser.
We do not intentionally upload your original media file to our servers for AI processing.
We do not store, review, sell, or use your uploaded media to train AI models.
Processed files and previews generally remain under your control on your device unless you explicitly use a feature that clearly states otherwise.

Local processing depends on your browser, device capabilities, selected tool, and the version of the Services in use. You are responsible for reviewing any feature-specific notices displayed before using a feature that may involve a third-party service or remote processing.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following categories of information.

Information You Provide

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide when you contact us, submit feedback, report an issue, subscribe to updates, create an account if account features are offered, or otherwise communicate with us.

This information may include:

Your name
Email address
Message contents
Support request details
Any other information you choose to provide

Please do not send us sensitive personal information or confidential media unless it is necessary for your request.

Technical and Usage Information

When you visit the Website, we or our service providers may automatically collect limited technical and usage information, such as:

IP address
Browser type and version
Operating system and device type
Language and approximate region
Pages viewed, referring URLs, and interactions with the Website
Date, time, and duration of visits
Error logs, performance data, and diagnostic information
Browser capabilities, such as WebGPU, WebAssembly, WebCodecs, or related compatibility signals

We use this information to operate, secure, maintain, understand, and improve the Services.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, or similar technologies to provide essential Website functions, remember preferences, measure traffic, prevent abuse, and, where applicable, deliver or measure advertising.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser. You can usually control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect Website functionality.

3. How We Use Information

We may use information we collect to:

Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Services
Process and respond to support requests, feedback, and communications
Maintain Website security, detect fraud, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot technical issues
Analyze Website performance, compatibility, and user experience
Comply with legal obligations and enforce our agreements
Display, personalize, measure, or limit advertising where permitted by law and subject to applicable consent requirements
Protect the rights, safety, and property of MinoRemove, our users, and others

We do not use locally processed uploaded media files to train AI models.

4. Local Media Processing

The core editing functions of MinoRemove are intended to run locally in your browser.

This means that, for local-processing tools:

Your source media is not intentionally transmitted to our servers for processing.
Your browser may create temporary in-memory copies, previews, cached assets, or downloadable output files on your device.
Closing the browser tab, clearing browser data, or clearing your browser cache may remove locally stored temporary data, depending on your browser and device settings.
We cannot guarantee that your device, browser extensions, network, operating system, or third-party software will not independently collect, cache, synchronize, or otherwise handle data.

You should avoid using shared or public devices for sensitive media, and you should delete downloaded files and clear browser data when appropriate.

5. Analytics, Advertising, and Third Parties

We may use third-party service providers for Website hosting, security, analytics, error monitoring, communications, advertising, payments, or other operational purposes.

These providers may collect information from your browser or device in accordance with their own privacy policies. Depending on the services enabled on the Website, this may include:

Cloud hosting, content delivery, and security providers
Analytics providers
Error monitoring and performance providers
Email or customer-support providers
Payment and entitlement providers
Advertising partners, including Google or other advertising networks

Advertising Cookies

If we display third-party advertising, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to show ads based on your prior visits to this Website or other websites.

You may be able to manage personalized advertising through:

Google Ads Settings: https://adssettings.google.com/
Your AdChoices options: https://www.aboutads.info/choices/
Your browser or device privacy settings

Where required by applicable law, we will seek consent before placing non-essential cookies or enabling personalized advertising technologies.

We may share information only as reasonably necessary in the following circumstances:

With vendors and service providers that help us operate the Services
With advertising, analytics, security, and measurement partners, subject to applicable settings and consent requirements
To comply with applicable law, legal process, government requests, or enforceable regulatory requirements
To investigate, prevent, or respond to suspected fraud, security incidents, abuse, or violations of our Terms of Service
To protect the rights, property, safety, and security of MinoRemove, our users, or the public
In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction

We do not sell your uploaded source media files. We do not share locally processed source media files with advertisers for their independent use.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the Services, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations.

Because core media processing is designed to occur locally, we generally do not retain uploaded source media files on our servers. Information you send to us through support or feedback channels may be retained for as long as needed to respond to your request and maintain appropriate business records.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information under our control.

However, no method of transmission over the internet, electronic storage, or device-based processing is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for protecting your device, browser, internet connection, downloads, and account credentials, if applicable.

Depending on where you live and the laws that apply to you, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including rights to:

Request access to personal information we hold about you

Request deletion of personal information
Object to or restrict certain processing
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
