Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 11, 2026
How your photo is processed
Your photo is processed locally in your browser by default. Face detection, quality checks, cropping, resizing, JPG generation, and PDF generation all run on your own device using your browser's built-in capabilities (Canvas API and a locally-loaded face detection model). The image data does not leave your device during these steps.
If you choose the optional high-quality background removal service, the cropped image is securely sent to our server for that processing step. Vekyo's server handles it in memory, does not write it to disk, and does not store it. The image may be sent to a background-removal provider depending on the configured service. The standard background removal option runs entirely on your device and uploads nothing.
What we do collect
If analytics is enabled, we may record anonymous usage events (for example, that a document type was selected or that a download started) to understand how the product is used. These events never include your photo, any part of your image data, or file contents — only interaction metadata such as page views, selections, and pass/fail outcomes.
Payments
If you purchase a high-resolution download, payment is handled by our payment provider. We do not receive or store your card details — those are entered directly on the payment provider's own secure page. We only receive confirmation of whether an order was paid.
Cookies and local storage
Vekyo uses your browser's local storage and session storage only to remember whether an order has been paid for, and to help a purchase survive a redirect to our payment provider and back. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.
Data retention
We do not store your uploaded or generated photos on any server. Photos exist in your browser's memory for the duration of your session. The only time an image reaches our server is the optional high-quality background removal step described above, and it is not retained after the result is returned.
