Privacy Policy
Wype is built around a simple principle: your photos are yours, and they should never leave your device. This policy explains exactly what does and doesn't happen when you use Wype.
Your images are processed entirely in your browser
When you drop a photo into Wype, all scanning and metadata removal runs locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded, transmitted, copied to a server, or stored by us. There is no backend that receives them. You can verify this by opening your browser's network tools, or by disconnecting from the internet — the tool still works.
No accounts, no tracking cookies
Wype does not require an account and does not set advertising or tracking cookies. We do not build a profile of you, and we do not sell or share data — because we don't collect it in the first place.
Limited technical data we may receive
Two things are worth disclosing honestly:
- Hosting logs. Like any website, our hosting provider may record standard server access logs (such as IP address, browser type, and time of request) when the page is served. These are used only for security and basic operation, not to identify you.
- Web fonts. Wype loads fonts from Google Fonts, which means your browser contacts Google's servers to fetch them; Google may log that request per its own policies. This happens for the page's appearance only and is unrelated to your images. We may move to self-hosted fonts in future to remove this dependency.
Wype does not currently use third-party analytics. If that ever changes, we will update this page and choose a privacy-respecting option.
Terms of Use
What Wype does
Wype removes metadata and content-provenance information (such as EXIF, GPS, IPTC, XMP and C2PA "Content Credentials") from image files you provide, and returns a cleaned copy for you to download. The service is provided free of charge.
Use it for images you own or are authorised to modify
Wype is intended for cleaning images that you own or otherwise have the right to alter. Removing provenance or authorship information from content you do not own may infringe others' rights or breach platform rules. You are solely responsible for the images you process and how you use the cleaned files.
Provenance, labels and the law
Some platforms attach "Made with AI" or similar labels based on content credentials embedded in a file; removing that metadata may change how a platform treats your upload, and some platforms also use signals (such as invisible watermarks) that metadata removal does not affect. In addition, certain jurisdictions are introducing AI-disclosure requirements — for example, the EU AI Act's transparency provisions, expected to apply from August 2026, may require machine-readable disclosure for AI-generated content distributed in the EU. Nothing here is legal advice; you are responsible for complying with the rules and laws that apply to you.
No warranty
Wype is provided "as is", without warranties of any kind. While it is designed to remove all standard metadata segments and to preserve image quality, we cannot guarantee that every embedded tag in every possible file format is removed, or that a cleaned image will achieve any particular outcome on any platform. Always verify a cleaned file meets your needs before relying on it.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Wype and its operators are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the tool — including any consequences of sharing, labelling, or failing to disclose images you have cleaned.
Changes
We may update these terms and this policy from time to time. Continued use of Wype after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised version.
