Privacy Policy
Last Updated: September 20, 2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to C2PA Viewer. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services. Our core privacy promise is simple: we do not store your files. All C2PA data processing happens directly in your browser.
2. Data We Collect
C2PA Viewer is designed to respect your privacy from the ground up. Here's a breakdown of the data we handle:
- Uploaded Files: We do not upload, store, or transmit your files to our servers. When you select a file, it is processed locally in your web browser. It never leaves your device.
- C2PA Data: The C2PA manifest data extracted from your file is also processed locally. We do not log, store, or analyze this information.
- Usage Analytics: We may collect anonymous usage data to improve our service. This includes information like browser type, operating system, and pages visited. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.
3. How We Use Your Data
The limited data we collect is used for the following purposes:
- To provide and maintain our service, allowing you to view C2PA metadata from your files.
- To improve our website and services by understanding how users interact with our tool.
- To ensure the security and stability of our platform.
4. Data Security
Since we do not store your files or personal C2PA data, the risk of a data breach is minimized. All processing occurs on the client-side (your browser), which is the most secure way to handle sensitive file information. We implement standard security measures to protect our website and any anonymous analytics data we collect.
5. Your Rights
You have the right to understand how your data is used. As we do not collect personal information, many data protection rights (such as access, rectification, or erasure) are not applicable in the traditional sense. However, you have the right to:
- Use our service with the assurance that your files are not being stored.
- Opt-out of any non-essential cookies through your browser settings.
6. Third-Party Services
We do not use any third-party services that would compromise your privacy. We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to gather anonymous usage statistics. We do not share any data with third-party advertisers.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
