Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 10, 2026
MetaStrip is operated by ICXCNIKAanon. Questions? hello@metastrip.ai
The short version
MetaStrip's web tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device. We do not have a server that receives your images. We collect minimal analytics (page views, no personal identifiers) and receive your email if you choose to contact us.
What we do not collect
- ✕Your files — ever. Images are processed 100% in your browser using JavaScript. They never touch our servers.
- ✕Personal information. No names, no accounts, no signup required.
- ✕Tracking cookies. We do not use cookies to track you across the web.
- ✕Browsing history or behavioral profiles.
What we do collect
Basic analytics
We use Vercel Analytics to understand how people use MetaStrip. This gives us page view counts, country-level geographic data, and device type. No personal identifiers are collected. Data is aggregated and anonymous.
API interest emails
The API interest link opens your email application. Nothing is submitted by the website. If you send us an email, we receive your email address and the information you include so that we can respond to your request.
Web server logs
Our hosting provider (Vercel) retains standard server logs, which include IP addresses and browser user agent strings. We do not control this data. See Vercel's privacy policy for details.
Third-party services
Vercel (hosting)
MetaStrip is hosted on Vercel. Standard hosting infrastructure. See vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
Optional external map links
Extracted coordinates are displayed locally. The tool does not automatically load map tiles or send these coordinates to a third party. If you choose “Open this location in Google Maps,” the coordinates are sent to Google Maps in the link URL. Custom replacement coordinates are entered locally without address lookup requests.
Chrome Extension
The MetaStrip browser extension processes all files locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to MetaStrip's servers or any third party.
The extension stores a single setting — whether it is enabled or disabled — in Chrome's sync storage. This setting syncs across your Chrome devices via Google's infrastructure, subject to Google's own privacy policy.
CLI and npm Packages
The @metastrip/cli, @metastrip/core, and @metastrip/mcp-server packages run entirely on your local machine. There is no telemetry, no analytics, and no phone-home of any kind.
Children's Privacy
MetaStrip is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has submitted their email address through our waitlist, contact us at hello@metastrip.ai and we will remove it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the date at the top of the page. If the changes are significant, we'll make that clear. Continued use of MetaStrip after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
