Last Updated: July 18, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how BGRemover ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and discloses your information when you use our online background removal tool and browse our blog (collectively, the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information when you use our Service:

  • Uploaded Images: When you upload images to our background removal tool, these files are temporarily processed on our servers to provide the service. We do not store these images beyond the immediate processing period unless explicitly stated (e.g., if you choose to save a processed image to an account).
  • Usage Data: We automatically collect information about how you access and use the Service. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and other diagnostic data. This helps us understand user behavior and improve our service.
  • Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies are small data files stored on your device. We use them for:
    • Essential Functionality: To enable core features of the tool.
    • Performance and Analytics: To analyze how users interact with our site, monitor performance, and identify areas for improvement. This may involve third-party analytics services.
    You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.
  • Communication Data: If you contact us for support or other inquiries, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message.
  • Blog Interactions: If you comment on our blog, we collect the information you submit (e.g., name, email, comment content) to display your comment and prevent spam. Your name (or chosen alias) and comment will be publicly visible.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for various purposes:

  • To Provide and Maintain the Service: To operate our background removal tool and deliver content from our blog.
  • To Improve and Optimize: To analyze usage trends, fix bugs, and develop new features for a better user experience.
  • For Customer Support: To respond to your inquiries and provide technical assistance.

  • To Ensure Security: To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or fraudulent activity.
  • For Legal Compliance: To comply with legal obligations and respond to legal requests.

3. Data Retention

  • Uploaded Images: Images uploaded for background removal are typically deleted from our servers within **1 hour** of processing completion. We do not retain processed images unless you explicitly choose to save them (e.g., to a user account if such a feature exists).
  • Usage Data: Anonymous usage data and analytics information may be retained for up to **26 months** (or a specific duration relevant to your analytics service, e.g., Google Analytics' default).
  • Communication Data: Records of your communications with us (e.g., support emails) may be retained for a reasonable period to manage ongoing support and improve our services.
  • Blog Comments: Blog comments and associated metadata are retained indefinitely unless you request their removal.

4. Data Security

We value your trust in providing us your information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. We implement industry-standard security measures designed to protect your data, including:

  • Encryption of Data in Transit: We use SSL/TLS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
  • Access Controls: Access to sensitive data is restricted to authorized personnel only.
  • Secure Storage Protocols: We employ secure practices for data storage and management.
  • Regular Security Audits: We conduct periodic security assessments to identify and address vulnerabilities.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

5. Third-Party Services

We may employ third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service ("Service Providers"), to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Service-related services, or to assist us in analyzing how our Service is used. These third parties have access to your Personal Information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

  • Cloud Infrastructure: For hosting, processing, and storage of our application and temporary image data.
  • Analytics Providers: Such as Google Analytics, to help us understand website traffic and user behavior.
  • Spam Detection: For our blog comments, to filter out unsolicited content.
  • Payment Processors: If we offer premium features or subscriptions, payment processing will be handled by secure third-party providers.

6. Links to Other Sites

Our Service or blog may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
