Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 21, 2026

1. Introduction & Core Privacy Principles

At Pixabc.com ("Pixabc", "we", "us", or "our"), protecting your privacy is our top priority. We operate on a "Privacy-First" engineering philosophy. Whenever technically feasible, our image and video tools are engineered to process your files locally within your web browser, ensuring that your sensitive personal data and media never leave your device.

2. Data Handling & File Retention Policy

2.1 Browser-Based Tools (100% Client-Side)

The majority of tools on Pixabc—including Image Compressor, Image Resizer, Image Cropper, Circle Crop, Image Converter, EXIF Viewer/Editor, and Video Frame Extractor—execute 100% locally inside your web browser using WebAssembly and local JavaScript. When using these tools, your photos, videos, and metadata are never transmitted or uploaded to our servers. All processing occurs entirely on your machine.

2.2 Server-Side Tools (AI Background Remover Only)

Our AI Background Remover feature requires uploading your image to our secure server infrastructure to run server-side artificial intelligence isolation algorithms.

  • Instant Manual Wipe: You may click the "Delete" option at any time after processing to trigger immediate, permanent destruction of both the uploaded source image and the processed result from our servers.
  • 1-Hour Automatic Purge: If not deleted manually, all uploaded and output files are automatically, permanently, and non-recoverably deleted from our temporary processing cache within 1 hour. Pixabc is not a cloud storage provider or file backup service.
  • No AI Model Training & No Data Monetization: Uploaded images are strictly used to fulfill your explicit background removal request. We do not use your media to train AI models, sell your data to third parties, or retain original filenames or metadata after purge.

3. Cookies & Analytics Technologies Disclosure

3.1 Essential System Cookies

We use minimal functional first-party cookies, such as NEXT_LOCALE to remember your language preference, as well as essential security tokens issued by our hosting and CDN providers (e.g., Cloudflare, Vercel) strictly required to protect our infrastructure against cyber attacks and DDoS threats.

3.2 Google Analytics (GA4)

We use Google Analytics to gather aggregated, anonymized statistics about site traffic, page views, and user interaction patterns. Google Analytics places performance cookies (such as _ga) on your browser. We use this data solely to understand general usage trends and improve website responsiveness. You can opt out of Google Analytics data collection at any time by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or by disabling cookies in your browser settings.

3.3 Vercel Web Analytics & Speed Insights

We utilize Vercel Analytics for privacy-preserving, cookie-less website performance monitoring. It measures page load speeds and web vital metrics without tracking individual identities or cross-site user activities.

3.4 Browser Local Storage

Our client-side processing tools may utilize browser LocalStorage or IndexedDB to store transient state during active editing sessions. This data remains 100% on your local machine and can be erased by clearing your browser history.

3.5 Zero Third-Party Advertising Cookies

Pixabc does not place behavioral retargeting cookies or share browsing profiles with advertising networks.

4. Data Security & Encryption

All communications between your device and Pixabc are encrypted in transit using industry-standard Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS). Server processing environments are isolated per session to prevent unauthorized access.

5. Your GDPR & Privacy Rights

Under international privacy laws (such as GDPR and CCPA), users have rights regarding data access and erasure. Because Pixabc requires no accounts, maintains no user database profiles, and automatically purges server-processed files within 1 hour (or instantly upon manual request), your Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten) is satisfied by design.

6. Children's Privacy & Contact Information

Pixabc tools are general-audience utilities and do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you have any privacy questions or requests, please contact us via our Feedback page.
