Privacy Policy
Effective Date: November 1, 2025
The Short Version
We do not sell your data. We do not look at your photos. Files are processed in temporary memory and are automatically deleted immediately after the cleaning process is complete.
1. File Handling & Retention
ExifX operates on a "Privacy by Design" principle. When you upload a file:
- Encryption: Your file is transferred via Secure Socket Layer (SSL/HTTPS).
- Processing: The metadata stripping occurs on our secure servers in an isolated environment.
- Deletion: Once the clean file is generated and downloaded, the original and the processed files are permanently deleted from our server cache. We do not maintain a database of user content.
2. Data We Collect
We collect minimal data necessary to operate the site:
- Server Logs: Standard web logs (IP address, User Agent) for security and abuse prevention (e.g., preventing DDoS attacks). These logs are rotated regularly.
- Analytics: We use a privacy-focused analytics script (SFWeb Analytics) to count visitors. This does not build a persistent profile of you across the web.
3. Third-Party Advertisers
To keep this tool free, we use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
4. Children's Privacy
ExifX is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
