Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 17, 2026

Summary

PrivaCanvas is designed so that the images you edit stay on your device. Image decoding, face detection, redaction, and export run inside your browser. PrivaCanvas does not upload your images to its application server.

Images and redaction data

• Images selected in the editor are processed in browser memory.
• Detected face locations, manually drawn regions, and edited outputs remain in your browser.
• PrivaCanvas does not intentionally collect image bytes, filenames, face coordinates, OCR text, or exported images.
• Exporting creates a new PNG and does not copy the original image's EXIF metadata into that file.

Clearing or closing the page removes the current editing session from browser memory. Downloaded files remain wherever you save them on your device.

On-device face detection

PrivaCanvas uses MediaPipe Tasks Vision and a BlazeFace model for automatic face detection. The runtime and model files are downloaded from the PrivaCanvas website, and inference runs on your device.

MediaPipe states that input images are processed on-device and are not sent to Google. Its web library contains code that can send performance and utilization metrics to Google. PrivaCanvas restricts application data connections to its own origin using Content Security Policy, which blocks that third-party metrics endpoint. PrivaCanvas does not enable analytics that send image contents.

See the third-party licenses page for the runtime and model license records.

Technical information

Like most websites, the hosting and security infrastructure may temporarily process ordinary request information such as IP address, browser type, requested URL, timestamps, and error logs. This information may be used to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the service.

The site may store essential preferences, such as language or appearance, in your browser. The current free editor does not require an account or payment information.

Sharing

PrivaCanvas does not sell your personal information. Technical information may be processed by hosting, security, or infrastructure providers only as needed to operate the website, or disclosed when required by law.

Your responsibilities

Automatic detection can miss faces or mark the wrong area. Review every result before sharing an image. Do not rely on PrivaCanvas as a guarantee of legal compliance or complete anonymization.

Changes

This policy may be updated as the product changes. The date at the top of this page will show the latest revision.
