Privacy Policy
Effective Date: June 15, 2026
Privacy Policy
At ZeroBG, we believe that your digital privacy is a fundamental human right. This Privacy Policy details how we handle information, files, and assets when you access and use our website.
1. 100% Client-Side Processing
Unlike standard background removal platforms, **ZeroBG does not upload, copy, transfer, or store your images on any backend server**. All computation, neural network operations, pixel segmentations, filters, compositing, and file exports are executed inside your browser tab on your local machine using WebAssembly and WebGPU.
Because your images are never sent over the internet, we have absolutely zero access to the documents, photos, or graphics you choose to edit. Your files stay securely on your device at all times.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
- We do not collect or request any personal identifiers (names, emails, physical addresses, telephone numbers).
- We do not record log histories of the files you import or download.
- We do not collect metadata (EXIF details, GPS coordinates, camera models) associated with the files you upload.
3. Cookies and Advertising
To keep ZeroBG free without requiring subscriptions or server charges, we monetize the website through sponsor links and third-party advertising partners (such as Google AdSense). These third-party networks may use cookies, web beacons, and tracking pixels to serve relevant ads based on your browser history.
Specifically, Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to ZeroBG and other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings.
4. GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA Compliance
Because ZeroBG processed images entirely locally without uploading, storing, or transmitting any personal files or records, our platform is fully compliant by design with strict global data regulations, including:
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation): No personal data is transferred out of your device, satisfying data minimization principles.
- CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act): We do not sell or collect your personal info or file uploads.
- HIPAA: Our offline design ensures patient records, medical scans, or portrait identifications are processed with complete security on your local machine.
5. 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. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we safeguard your data.
