Privacy Policy — Background Eraser: Offline

Effective 5 September 2026

MD Developer Studio ("we", "us") develops and maintains the Android

application Background Eraser: Offline (package com.mdonda.background_eraser).

This policy explains what the app does and does not do with your information.

THE SHORT VERSION

Your photos are processed entirely on your phone. We do not upload them, we

cannot see them, and we have no servers to store them on. There is no account

and no sign-in. The only data that leaves your device is what Google's

advertising and Google Play services collect, described below.

YOUR PHOTOS

The background removal runs on an AI model bundled inside the app itself. When

you open a photo, everything — the cutout, your brush edits, the background you

choose, the final export — happens in your phone's memory and storage.

We do not collect, transmit, upload, view or store your photos or the images

you create with the app. No image is ever sent to us or to any third party by

the app.

If you tap Share, your phone's own share sheet opens and you choose where the

image goes. That transfer is made by you, through the app you pick, and is

governed by that app's privacy policy.

WHAT THE APP STORES ON YOUR DEVICE

The app keeps the following in its own private storage on your phone:

  • Cutouts you save, so they appear in the Saved tab and can be reopened

  • A small thumbnail of each saved cutout

  • Your settings: language, light or dark theme, export format and quality,

    magnifier and brush preferences

None of this is transmitted anywhere. You can delete individual cutouts, or

clear all of them, from inside the app (Saved tab, or Settings → Storage).

Uninstalling the app removes all of it.

When you save a cutout to your gallery, a copy is written to your device's

public photo library, where it is yours to manage like any other photo.

ADVERTISING

The app is free and is funded by advertising. We use Google AdMob to show

banner, interstitial and native ads.

To serve ads, Google's advertising SDK collects information from your device.

This typically includes your advertising ID, IP address, device and operating

system details, general location inferred from your IP address, and how you

interact with the ads shown. This collection is performed by Google, not by us,

and we do not receive your photos or any content you create in the app.

Google's practices are described at:

  https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

  https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543

You can limit ad personalisation at any time in your device settings, under

Settings → Google → Ads, where you can also reset or delete your advertising ID.

GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES

The app uses two Google Play features:

  • In-app updates — the app asks Google Play whether a newer version exists

    and offers to install it.

  • In-app review — after your first successful save, the app may ask Google

    Play to show its rating prompt. Any review you write is submitted to and

    handled by Google Play, not by us. We never see who left which review.

These features communicate with Google Play, not with us.

PERMISSIONS AND WHY

  • Internet and network state — required so the advertising SDK can fetch

    ads and so Google Play can check for updates. The photo editing itself

    needs no connection and works fully offline.

  • Advertising ID — used by AdMob as described above.

  • Camera — requested only at the moment you tap "Take a photo", and used

    only to capture that photo. The app never opens the camera on its own.

  • Photos — the app uses your phone's system photo picker, so on Android 13

    and later it needs no access to your photo library at all: you choose one

    photo and only that photo is handed to the app. On Android 9 and earlier,

    storage permission is used solely to save a finished image to your gallery.

DATA WE COLLECT

None. We operate no servers, no accounts, no analytics and no crash reporting.

We receive no personal information from the app. If you email us, we will of

course have whatever you choose to write to us.

CHILDREN

The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect

personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided

information through the advertising described above, contact us and we will

help you address it with Google.

YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Because we hold no personal data about you, there is nothing for us to export

or erase on your behalf. In practice your controls are:

  • Delete your saved cutouts inside the app, or uninstall it

  • Reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings

  • Limit ad personalisation in your device settings

  • Manage or delete data Google holds at https://myaccount.google.com

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under laws such as the GDPR

or India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act. Requests concerning

advertising data should be directed to Google, as they are the party that

collects it; we are happy to help you route a request.

SECURITY

Because your images never leave your device, they are protected by your

device's own security — your screen lock and Android's app sandboxing, which

prevents other apps from reading this app's private storage.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

If this policy changes we will update this page and revise the effective date

above. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes on

Google Play.
