2. Local File Processing
MetaDataGone processes selected files locally in your browser. Files, file contents, and embedded metadata are not uploaded to our servers. Analysis, editing, removal, and verification run in browser memory.
MetaDataGone does not use AI processing for your files and does not send your files to AI services.
3. Website Delivery and Hosting
When you visit the website, our hosting provider Vercel processes technically necessary access data such as IP address, browser type, referrer, timestamp, and requested URL. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR: our legitimate interest in secure and performant website delivery.
Vercel Inc. is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. Where data is transferred to the United States, the transfer is based on the adequacy decision under Art. 45 GDPR.
4. Optional Maps and Location Search
If a file contains GPS coordinates or you use the GPS editor, MetaDataGone may load map tiles from OpenStreetMap. When you actively use location search, the search term is sent to Nominatim/OpenStreetMap. GPS coordinates from your file are not transmitted to our servers.
5. Local Storage
MetaDataGone may store technically necessary values on your device, such as language preference, theme, temporary UI state, and notices. These values stay in your browser and can be deleted through browser settings.
Current versions of the app do not require a license key and do not perform license verification.
6. Optional Support via Ko-fi
MetaDataGone does not load Ko-fi automatically. The support link is a normal external link and only opens when you click it. Uploaded files, file names, metadata, and reports are not transmitted to Ko-fi. On Ko-fi's site, personal data such as payment details, name, or email address may be processed by Ko-fi or payment providers.
7. No Accounts, No Checkout, No AI Services
MetaDataGone currently operates no user account system, no paid checkout, no license-key API, and no server-side AI file processing.
8. Your Rights
Where personal data is processed, you have GDPR rights to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
