Privacy Policy

Photo Editor AI (photo-editor-ai.net) edits the photos you upload with AI: you describe a change or pick one, and the site returns an edited image. Below is everything the site collects, what it is for, which outside services see it and how long it stays. "We", "our" and "us" refer to the people who operate photo-editor-ai.net.

The short version

• A photo you upload is used for one thing: making the edit you asked for. We don't sell it, post it anywhere or train AI models on it.
• Uploads are kept only as long as the service needs them, and we delete yours as soon as you ask.
• To keep free edits fair, we store a salted, scrambled hash of your IP address and an identifier for your device. Your actual IP address is never stored for this.

• Nobody has an account here. We only ask for an email address if you choose to join the waitlist for a feature or the paid plan that isn't open yet.

Information you send us

Photos. The picture you upload to an editing tool, as your browser hands it over after shrinking and compressing it. With it we receive the option you chose and, on tools that have a text box, the instructions you typed.

Waitlist sign-ups. Not every tool or option is ready, and paid plans may not be open yet. When you open one that isn't ready, or use up your free edits or credits, a form offers to let you know when it is available. If you send it, we keep your email address, the page and option involved, your answer to " What do you need it for?", and a salted one-way hash of your IP address so we can filter out spam bots. The address is used only for that one notice: we don't verify it, put it on a mailing list or pass it to anyone.

Emails. When you write to us, we keep the thread so we can answer it.

Information the site collects on its own

• Free-edit counter. A salted hash of your IP address, an identifier your browser works out from its own settings, and the number of free edits used. That browser identifier is also kept in your browser's local storage.
• Edit history. Which tool and option ran, at what time, whether it succeeded, and links to the photo you uploaded and the result.
• Server logs. As with every website, our host handles your IP address, browser type and the pages you open, in order to serve the site and fend off attacks.

• Traffic counts. Visits are counted by a privacy-friendly analytics service that sets no cookies and stores nothing that could identify you. All we see are totals such as page views, countries and the sites that sent visitors.

Cookies and local storage

We don't set any cookies for visitors. Local storage in your browser holds the device identifier mentioned above and whether you chose the light or dark theme. Clearing this site's data in your browser removes both.

Outside services

A handful of outside services help run the site, and each one gets only what its task requires:

• Cloudflare — hosts the site and stores uploaded photos; like any web host it sees your IP address when you connect.
• AI image model providers — receive your photo and the edit you describe or pick, run the model that makes the edited image, and keep the result for a limited time so it can be downloaded.

• Our analytics service — counts visits without cookies and without knowing who you are.

Beyond that, we hand over information only when the law obliges us to, or when it is needed to prevent fraud or keep someone safe. Personal information is never sold and never shared for advertising.

How long data is kept

• Uploaded photos: stored only to run the editing tools; send us an email and we delete yours.
• Edited images: held by the AI provider that produced them for a limited time so you can download them, and then removed. Download any result you want to keep.
• Free-edit counter records: kept while free edits are offered; they hold no raw IP address.

• Waitlist sign-ups: until we've sent the launch notice for that feature or plan, or until you ask us to remove yours, if that comes sooner.

Your rights

Email us and we will tell you what we hold about you, send you a copy, fix it or erase it, uploaded photos included. You'll hear back within 30 days. Depending on where you live (the EU, the UK or California, for example), you may have further rights by law, such as complaining to your data protection authority.

Children

Photo Editor AI is for people aged 18 and over, and photos of anyone under 18 must not be uploaded. If we find such a photo in our storage, we delete it.

The same age limit applies to the waitlist; if we find out a child has signed up, we remove the entry.

Security

All traffic is encrypted with HTTPS. Every upload is checked to be a genuine image before it is stored, and it is saved at a long, random, unlisted address. Anyone holding that address can open the file, so don't share your result links unless you mean to.

Where your data goes

Our host and our AI providers operate servers in several countries, so your data may be handled outside the country where you live.

Updates to this policy

Whenever this policy changes, the date at the top changes too. If an update changes how your photos are used, we will announce it on the site before it applies.
