2. Description of Service

MetadataEraser provides client-side tools for removing metadata from image files (JPEG, PNG, WEBP, TIFF), PDF documents, and Microsoft Word (.docx) files. All file processing occurs entirely within your web browser. The Service does not upload, transmit, store, or access your files in any way.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We make no guarantees about the completeness of metadata removal for every possible file variant, format version, or edge case.

3. User Responsibilities

• You agree not to use the Service for any unlawful purpose
• You understand that metadata removal is permanent and cannot be undone on the cleaned file

4. Intellectual Property

The MetadataEraser name, logo, website design, and original content are the property of MetadataEraser. The open-source libraries used by the tool (piexifjs, pdf-lib, JSZip, and others) are the property of their respective authors and are used under their respective licenses. You retain all rights to your own files processed through the Service.
