Privacy Policy

Privacy policy overview

This privacy policy explains how Old Photo Restoration handles information when a person visits the website and uses its photo tools. The central design choice is local image processing: the photograph selected for restoration or colorization is read and processed by the browser on that person’s device. It is not uploaded to a restoration server.

The website does not require an account, sell subscriptions, or provide a hosted personal photo gallery. A result is made available as a browser download. The original file remains on the device, and downloading a result creates a separate copy in the location chosen by the browser or visitor.

Photo privacy and processing data

Under this privacy policy, selecting an image gives the page access to that file for the current editing task. The browser decodes the image, performs face detection and model inference, displays a comparison, and prepares a downloadable result. Image pixels, detected face coordinates, and generated image data are used locally for that workflow. They are not submitted as an image upload to the website operator.

Changing the photograph or leaving the page ends the visible editing session. The website does not offer server-side retrieval of an earlier result. Visitors should save a result before closing the page if they want to keep it. Downloaded copies and source photographs remain under the visitor’s control in local files or storage services they choose.

Browser storage and privacy policy

This privacy policy distinguishes model resources from photographs. The browser requests model files and runtime resources so the photo tools can run on the device. These files contain the processing tools rather than the visitor’s photograph. Model files may be stored in the browser cache or Cache Storage so that later visits can reuse them instead of downloading the same resources again.

Visitors can clear these resources through browser settings for cached files or website storage. Clearing the tools does not delete a source photograph or a copy that was downloaded to a normal file folder. The next use of the photo tools may need to download the model resources again. A shared device may have its own browser storage policies.

Website privacy and hosting information

Like other websites, this service receives requests for HTML pages, styles, scripts, images, and model files. The hosting provider can process technical information needed to deliver those requests, such as an IP address, request time, requested path, response status, and browser information included in the request. This is separate from uploading a personal photo for restoration.

Hosting and delivery records can support basic service operation, performance, and abuse prevention. The website operator does not use a personal photograph as advertising content or sell the selected photograph. A project email may receive information that a visitor voluntarily includes in a message, such as a reply address and a description of a problem.

Advertising and analytics

The free website may display advertising when an advertising provider is enabled. Advertising providers can make their own requests and may use cookies or similar technologies according to the choices available in the visitor’s region and their own policies. Google advertising information is available at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. Photo processing remains local and is not an image upload to an advertising provider.

The launch configuration can operate without an analytics service. If Microsoft Clarity is enabled, it helps understand website interactions and usability; personal image areas and selected filenames are marked for masking. The relevant provider policy is available at privacy.microsoft.com. This privacy policy should be read with any consent notice presented on a live version of the website.

Privacy policy choices and questions

The choices in this privacy policy can be managed through browser settings. Visitors can use browser controls to block optional cookies, clear website storage, or stop using the page. Source photographs and downloaded results can be deleted using the device’s file tools. Because the service does not hold uploaded photographs or photo accounts, there is no hosted personal album for the operator to retrieve or erase.

For a privacy question, contact the project using the email linked below and describe the relevant page or request. Do not include a personal photograph unless it is necessary for a separate question you choose to raise. The privacy policy may be updated when the website’s processing or providers change, with the revision date shown on this page.
