Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2, 2026

Quitarfondo.co ("we", "our", "the Service") is an online tool for removing image backgrounds. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Service.

1. Images You Upload

When you upload an image for background removal, the image is transmitted to a third-party AI processing service (fal.ai) via our secure server-side API. We do not store, save, cache, or retain your uploaded images or processed results on our servers. Images are processed in real-time and discarded immediately after the result is delivered to you.

We have no control over the data retention practices of our third-party processor. Please refer to fal.ai's Privacy Policy for details on their data handling.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to operate the Service:

Automatically collected data: IP address, browser type, device type, and referring URL. This data is collected through standard web server logs and analytics.
Local storage: We store small thumbnail previews of your processed images in your browser's local storage for the history feature. This data never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time through your browser settings.
Cookies: We may use essential cookies to ensure the Service functions properly. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.

We do not require registration, collect email addresses, or use personal identifiers.

3. How We Use Information

We use the limited information we collect to:

Operate and maintain the Service;
Monitor usage patterns to prevent abuse;
Improve the performance and reliability of the Service; and
Comply with legal obligations.

4. Third-Party Services

We rely on the following third-party services to deliver our Service:

fal.ai — AI model hosting and image processing;
Vercel — Web hosting and serverless infrastructure;
Google Fonts — Typography delivery.

Each third-party service has its own privacy policy and data practices. We encourage you to review them.

5. Data Security

We use HTTPS encryption for all data transmissions. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. Since we collect minimal data and do not store your images, most of these rights are inherently satisfied. For any requests, contact us at the email below.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
