Terms of Service

1. Service Overview

File Meta Cleaner is a browser-based utility that helps remove supported private metadata from JPG/JPEG, PNG, PDF, DOCX, and XLSX files. Selected files are processed locally in your browser; the Website does not upload file contents for processing.

The Website reports only supported metadata categories that it detects and removes. The service is not a complete file sanitization, redaction, security, or forensic-analysis tool.

2. Acceptable Use

You may use the Website only for lawful purposes and only with files that you own or are authorized to process. You must not use the Website in a way that interferes with its operation, attempts to bypass its security measures, or violates applicable law or the rights of others.

3. Your Files and Responsibilities

You remain responsible for your files, their contents, and any decision to share a cleaned file. Keep an original copy of every file and review the cleaned result before relying on it or sharing it.

Metadata removal does not remove information visible in a file. It also does not guarantee removal of all hidden, embedded, or recoverable information.

4. Intellectual Property

The Website, its original content, design, and software are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may use the Website for its intended purpose, but you may not copy, sell, resell, or exploit the Website or its materials except where permitted by law or with prior written permission.

5. Availability and Changes

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Website at any time. We may also update these Terms of Service by posting a revised version on this page. Your continued use of the Website after an update means that you accept the updated terms.

6. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

The Website is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we do not make warranties about the Website’s availability, accuracy, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, File Meta Cleaner will not be liable for losses or damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Website or a cleaned file.

7. Additional Legal References
