Privacy Policy
We build privacy tools, so it would be absurd to run a vague privacy policy. This page describes exactly what this website does with data — no more, no less.
This notice covers the privify.io website and the free tools hosted on it. Data handled by FORGE inside a customer's own environment is governed by that customer's agreement with us, not by this page — in a self-hosted FORGE deployment, we never receive your data at all.
The short version
- We set no cookies on this website.
- We use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics that don't identify you.
- We don't run advertising, retargeting or cross-site tracking.
- We only get your personal details if you type them into a form.
- We don't sell or rent anything you give us.
What we collect
| Source | What is collected, and why |
|---|---|
| Analytics | We use Plausible Analytics, which is cookieless and does not collect personal data. It records aggregate page views, referrer and rough country — no cross-site profile, no device fingerprint, nothing that identifies you individually. |
| Contact & interest forms | When you submit a form we collect the fields you fill in: name, work email, company, organization size, role, enquiry type and your message. These are processed by Formspree and delivered to our team by email. We use them to reply to you and, if relevant, to scope a deployment. |
| Server logs | This site is served as static files by our hosting provider, which keeps standard request logs (including IP address) for operational and security purposes. We do not build profiles from them. |
Third-party resources
Some assets on this site load from third-party networks. Because your browser requests them directly, those providers necessarily see your IP address and user agent. We don't send them anything else about you.

Photo Scrubber
Photo Scrubber removes metadata from images. It's worth being precise about how it handles your files:
- Your images never leave your browser. Files are read locally and processed on a canvas element. We do not upload or store your photos, and we never see them.
- GPS coordinates are the exception. If a photo contains GPS location data in its EXIF metadata, the tool sends those coordinates — latitude and longitude only, never the image — to a third-party geocoding service (OpenStreetMap Nominatim, with Photon as a fallback) so it can show you the place name. This is how the tool tells you what your photo was revealing.
- If you'd rather no coordinates leave your device at all, work offline or strip location data before uploading the file to the tool.
How long we keep things
Form submissions arrive as email and are retained in our inbox and CRM for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any resulting relationship. Analytics data is aggregate and holds no personal identifiers. If you'd like your enquiry deleted, ask and we'll do it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict use of your personal data, and to object to processing. To exercise any of them, email privacy@privify.io. We'll respond within the timeframe required by applicable law, and we won't make you jump through hoops.
Changes
If we change how this site handles data, we'll update this page and its "last updated" date. Material changes will be called out clearly rather than buried.
