Privacy policy

Last updated 1 October 2026

The short version

We process the files you upload so you can get a cutout back. We delete them immediately after. We do not sell your data. We do not have accounts to track you with. We collect anonymous analytics so we know what is broken and what is being used.

Who we are

Remova is operated by Webdiven. For any question about this policy or your data, contact webdiven1@gmail.com. Webdiven is the data controller for the purposes of the GDPR and the UK GDPR.

What we collect and why

Files you upload

When you use the automatic tool, your file is sent to a processing server, held in memory while a model runs on it, and deleted as soon as the result is returned. We do not write your file to disk. We do not keep a copy. We do not use your file to train anything.

When you use the manual editor, your file never leaves your device. Everything runs in your browser.

Legal basis: performance of a service you requested.

Anonymous analytics

We use Google Analytics to record page views, error counts, and browser type. IP addresses are truncated by Google before storage in the EU. We do not link analytics data to any user identity.

Legal basis: legitimate interest in operating and improving the service.

Feedback you send

If you use the Report Bug button, we store the message and, if you provided one, your email address. We use those only to read and reply to you. They are stored in our Redis instance and are never shared.

Legal basis: consent, and legitimate interest in responding to support requests.

Local browser storage

We use your browser's local storage to keep your forum handle, your game streak, and your leaderboard scores. None of this is sent to us. Clearing your browser data removes all of it.

What we do not collect

  • We do not require or offer user accounts.
  • We do not use advertising cookies or retargeting pixels.
  • We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with data brokers.
  • We do not build behavioural profiles of individual visitors.

Cookies

We do not set first-party cookies for tracking. Google Analytics may set cookies to distinguish sessions. You can block these in your browser without losing access to the tool.

Third parties we use

  • Hugging Face for model hosting and inference. Files sent to the processing backend are held in memory by the backend, which runs on Hugging Face infrastructure.
  • Vercel for frontend hosting and edge functions.
  • Google Analytics for anonymous traffic measurement.
  • Upstash for storing leaderboard scores and feedback messages.
  • TinyAdz, EffectiveCPMNetwork, Adsterra for advertising on the tool page and the support page. These networks may set their own cookies for frequency capping.

International transfers

Our infrastructure runs primarily in the United States and the European Union. If you are in the EEA or the UK, data may be transferred to servers in the United States. Where that happens we rely on standard contractual clauses.

How long we keep things

  • Uploaded files: deleted immediately after processing. Never written to disk.
  • Feedback messages: kept indefinitely unless you ask us to remove them.
  • Leaderboard scores: kept indefinitely. The username is whatever you typed, so avoid using your real name if you care about that.
  • Analytics: retained per Google Analytics default retention (currently 14 months).

Your rights

If you are in the EEA, the UK, or a jurisdiction with similar law, you have the following rights:

  • Access to any personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction of data that is inaccurate.
  • Deletion of your data.
  • Restriction on how we process it.
  • Portability of the data you provided.
  • Objection to processing based on legitimate interest.
  • Withdrawal of any consent you gave.

To exercise any of these, email webdiven1@gmail.com. If you are in the EU or UK and are not happy with our response, you can complain to your national data protection authority.

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA including the right to know what we collect, the right to delete, and the right to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of.

Children

The service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be noted on the homepage for thirty days.
