Privacy Policy

The short version

Your photos never leave your device. They are opened, cleaned and saved by your own browser. We have no copy of them, and neither does anyone else.

BatchClean is operated by Ilya Litau, an individual developer, who is responsible for the data described below. Contact: support@litau.app.

Your photos

Photos, file names and the cleaned results are processed only in your browser tab. They are not uploaded, not stored on a server and not included in analytics. When you close the tab they are gone.

The AI model that cuts out the background is a file your browser downloads once and keeps in its cache. It is downloaded from an external file host (Hugging Face by default). That host sees a normal file request with your IP address, and nothing about your photos.

What we store

• The email you paid with, so we can restore your purchase.
• Your key, your plan, your photo balance and the Paddle customer and subscription IDs that belong to them.
• Feedback you choose to send: the rating and the text, linked to your key if you have one.
• Short-lived technical records used to limit abuse, such as request counts per IP address.

What stays in your browser

Your key is saved in your browser's local storage so you don't have to enter it again. The AI model is saved in the browser cache. You can remove both by clearing the site data in your browser settings.

Analytics

We use PostHog to count a small set of events: a page was opened, photos were added (only how many), the preview was shown, checkout was opened, a batch finished (only how many), a download happened, feedback was sent.

Analytics runs without cookies. Events never contain photos, file names, your email or your key.

Who helps us run BatchClean

• Paddle: checkout, payments, invoices and tax. Paddle is the Merchant of Record and handles your payment details. We never see your card.
• Vercel: hosts the site.
• Upstash: stores keys, balances and purchase emails.
• Resend: sends the restore-purchase email.
• PostHog: analytics, as described above.
• Cloudflare: domain and network services.

Purchase data is stored in the EU. Emails are sent through a service based in the United States.

How long we keep it

We keep purchase data while your key has photos or an active subscription, and after that for as long as tax and accounting rules require. Write to support@litau.app and we will delete your email, key and feedback sooner where the law allows.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of the data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. Write to support@litau.app. If you are in the EU or the UK you can also complain to your data protection authority.

Children

BatchClean is not intended for anyone under 16.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Questions: support@litau.app.
