Pixpipe Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-28

Thank you for using Pixpipe (the "App"). We take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how the App handles your data.

1. On-Device Data & Storage

Pixpipe does not require an account and does not upload your photos to the developer or an AI service for processing. Background removal uses Apple's Vision framework on your device; cutout touch-up, background replacement, framing and the other image tools also run locally.

2. Photo Permissions

3. EXIF & Metadata

Selected images may contain GPS, device and other metadata. Processing can preserve some metadata unless you enable Strip EXIF. This optional tool removes supported metadata from the exported result; it does not alter the original photo or copies you previously exported.

4. Sharing & Third Parties

The App has no third-party advertising, analytics or tracking SDK and no developer-operated image-processing backend. When you explicitly save or share a result, the chosen app or service receives the exported file and handles it under its own policy. StoreKit purchases and restores, system Photos/Files services and Apple's rating UI are governed by Apple's policies.

5. Network Use

Image processing does not require uploading photos. Internet access may be needed for Apple's product loading, purchases, trial eligibility, restoration and entitlement services. Choosing an image stored in iCloud, saving to a cloud location, opening a legal link or sending support email may also involve the relevant system or service provider. Those actions do not send photos to a Pixpipe processing server.

6. Children's Privacy

The App is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect any information from children.

7. Changes to This Policy

If we update this Privacy Policy, we will publish the new version on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Please check back periodically.

8. Legal Website & Support Email

These legal pages are hosted on Vercel. When you visit, the hosting provider may process connection and request information, such as IP address, browser information and access logs, to deliver and secure the website. If you email support, we receive the email address and content you choose to send so we can respond; do not include photos or other sensitive content unless needed for your request.

Temporary-file cleanup and recovery

Starting a new processing task attempts to remove the local result folder; it is not a secure-erasure guarantee. In versions with the updated export panel, images are copied into a separate temporary export folder on-device; ZIP packaging also runs locally. The App attempts to remove that folder after the system share or save sheet closes, when its controller is torn down, or when preparation fails or is canceled. There is no fixed 60-second deletion timer in that flow and no automatic retry queue for failed folder removal. Older versions may use timed export cleanup; updating the App does not guarantee removal of older temporary copies. A failed removal can leave original or processed images, and changing the visible batch does not prove that all temporary bytes were erased.

Clearing results does not remove Brand Kits, presets, watermark templates or other saved preferences. Files saved to Photos, Files or a selected sharing destination remain separate. The current batch and its temporary files are not a full restorable backup; there is no archive import that reconstructs the batch, presets and settings. Restore Purchases restores access, not image projects.
