Overview

PixPipe ("we", "our", "us") operates the pixpipe.app website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our service.

PixPipe is a fully client-side image processing tool that runs entirely in your browser. Our core commitment: your images never leave your device.

Information We Collect

Information We Do Not Collect

Images you upload or process
Image metadata or EXIF data
Your name, email, or personal contact details (unless you contact us directly)
Payment information (we do not charge for our service)

Information We Collect Automatically

When you visit pixpipe.app, we collect anonymous usage data through Google Analytics (GA4):

Page views and session duration
Device type, browser, and operating system
Approximate geographic location (country/city level, not precise location)
Referral source (how you found our site)

This data is anonymized and aggregated. It cannot be used to identify individual users.

Image Processing

All image processing — including watermark removal, upscaling, compression, format conversion, and metadata stripping — happens entirely in your browser. Specifically:

Images are processed locally using your browser's Canvas API and WebAssembly
The AI upscaling model (ONNX format) is downloaded to your browser and runs locally
No image data is transmitted to any server during processing
Processed images exist only in your browser's memory and are lost when you close the page

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We do not set any first-party cookies. However, third-party services may use cookies:

Google Analytics: Uses cookies to distinguish unique users and sessions. See Google's Privacy Policy.
Google AdSense: May use cookies to serve personalized ads based on your browsing activity. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ad Settings. See Google's Advertising Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

Google Analytics (GA4) — website analytics
Google AdSense — advertisement display
Cloudflare — website hosting and CDN

Each of these services has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review their policies to understand how they handle your data.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights under applicable data protection laws (including GDPR and CCPA):

Access the personal data we hold about you
Request deletion of your personal data
Opt out of data collection (via your browser's Do Not Track setting or ad blockers)

PixPipe is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete that information.

Data Retention
