BACKGROUND REMOVER – PRIVACY POLICY

Privacy Policy

Welcome to Background Remover ("the App," "we," "our," or "us"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our iOS application.

By downloading or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

---

1. About Background Remover

Background Remover is an image editing application that allows users to automatically or manually remove backgrounds from photos, create transparent PNG images, replace backgrounds, and save or share edited images.

The App is designed to perform image processing locally on your device whenever possible.

---

2. Information We Collect

We collect only the information necessary to provide the App's features.

Photos and Files

The App may request access to your Photos or Files only when you choose to:

• Select an image
• Remove a background
• Replace a background
• Save edited images
• Export or share images

Only the images you intentionally select are processed.

---

Camera Access

If available, the App may request camera permission to allow you to capture a new photo for editing.

Camera access occurs only when you choose to use this feature.

---

Device Information

To improve compatibility and performance, the App may automatically collect limited technical information, including:

• Device model
• iPhone or iPad model
• iOS version
• App version
• Language settings
• Crash reports
• Performance diagnostics

This information does not directly identify you.

---

Analytics

If analytics services are enabled, anonymous information may be collected, such as:

• App usage statistics
• Features used
• Session duration
• Performance data
• Crash events

No personal photos or edited images are collected for analytics purposes.

---

Advertising

If advertisements are displayed, advertising partners such as Google AdMob may collect information including:

• Advertising Identifier (IDFA), where permitted
• Device information
• Approximate location
• Ad interaction data

These providers operate under their own privacy policies.

---

3. How We Use Information

Information is used only to:

• Remove backgrounds from selected images
• Improve application performance
• Fix bugs
• Enhance compatibility
• Deliver advertisements (if applicable)
• Improve future updates

---

4. Local Image Processing

Background Remover is designed with user privacy in mind.

Whenever technically possible, background removal and image editing are performed entirely on your device.

Your photos are not uploaded to our servers.

We do not access, review, copy, or store your personal images.

---

5. AI Processing (If Applicable)

Some background removal features may use Apple's on-device machine learning technologies or other local AI models available on your device.

If future versions of the App offer optional cloud-based AI processing, users will be informed before any image is transmitted, and this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly.

---

6. Data Storage

Edited images remain stored only on your device unless you choose to:

• Save them
• Export them
• Share them

We do not provide cloud storage for your edited images.

---

7. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.

Anonymous technical information may be shared with trusted third-party service providers such as:

• Apple
• Firebase Analytics
• Firebase Crashlytics
• Google AdMob

These services help improve application stability and user experience.

---

8. Data Retention

Because your images remain on your device, we generally do not retain your photos or edited images.

Anonymous diagnostic data may be retained by third-party analytics providers according to their own policies.

---

9. Data Security

We use commercially reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect information processed by the App.

However, no electronic system can guarantee absolute security.

---

10. Children's Privacy

Background Remover is not intended for children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we learn that such information has been collected, we will take reasonable steps to remove it.

---

11. Third-Party Services

The App may integrate with third-party services including:

• Apple App Store
• Google AdMob
• Firebase Analytics
• Firebase Crashlytics

These providers maintain their own privacy policies.

---

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your country or region, you may have rights to:

• Access available personal information
• Request deletion
• Correct inaccurate information
• Restrict certain processing
• Object to processing

Since user images remain stored locally on your device, most content remains under your direct control.

---

13. International Users

Anonymous technical information processed by third-party providers may be transferred and processed internationally in accordance with applicable law.

---

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time.

The updated version becomes effective immediately upon publication.

Your continued use of the App indicates acceptance of the revised policy.
