Your photos stay with you.

Photo data

Files, embedded metadata and cleaned copies are held in browser memory for your current session. Use “Choose another photo” to clear the workspace. Downloaded files are saved under your control.

Preferences

Your theme preference is stored on this device. The selected language is part of the page address. Optional Google Analytics runs only on content pages after your explicit permission. Photo workspaces never load analytics. Advertising and session replay remain off.

Ad-free tool pages

Advertising, if it is switched on, appears only on the home page and the guides. The EXIF Reader and EXIF Remover pages, where you open your photos, carry no ads, no analytics and no third-party scripts. All code that runs there is served from pixknow.com, and your photo is processed in your browser.

You do not have to take our word for it. To check:

1. Open your browser’s developer tools (usually F12, or Cmd+Option+I on a Mac) and choose the Network tab.
2. Open EXIF Reader or EXIF Remover and choose a photo.
3. Look at the list. You should see only requests to pixknow.com for the page’s own files, and no request that sends your photo.
4. You will not see a consent notice on these pages either, because nothing there needs your permission.

This describes the tool pages only. Content pages can load Google Analytics, and only after you allow it in Privacy settings.

Website requests

Amazon EC2 hosts this website and Cloudflare delivers it. These services may process connection details such as IP addresses and page requests. Your selected photos and their metadata are processed in your browser and are not included in those requests.

Limits

Metadata removal cannot hide visible faces, landmarks or information encoded into the image itself. We preserve image display information such as orientation and, by default, the color profile. Only supported and verified formats can be downloaded as cleaned.

Advertising

Marked spaces reserve room for future advertising on content pages. They are currently inactive. Photo workspaces have no advertising placements or third-party scripts.

Operator and contact

PixKnow is operated by Codeat3am in Türkiye. For questions about this notice or requests about your personal information, use our contact page. Please do not attach private photos or full metadata reports.

Infrastructure and correspondence

The application is hosted in Amazon EC2’s US East (N. Virginia) region and delivered through Cloudflare’s network. Connection information may be processed outside Türkiye. If you email us, your email address and message are processed to handle your request. Provider policies govern their connection logs; no fixed deletion time for those logs or email is promised here. We do not back up photos selected in the browser. If you allow analytics, Google is an additional recipient and may process usage data outside Türkiye. Detailed event/user data retention in our GA4 property is set to two months; this does not set a deletion deadline for all aggregate reports or provider logs.
