Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 25, 2026

Introduction

EraserPing is an app by PingApps Lab that removes the background from a photo you already have. Background removal happens on your device. This policy explains what is stored locally, what may be sent over the network, the permissions EraserPing requests, and how you can delete your data.

Your photos stay on your device

All processing — reading the photo, detecting the subject with the model bundled inside the app, and producing the cutout — happens entirely on your device, and the app never uploads your photos or your cutouts to PingApps Lab's servers or to any other server of ours: there is no cloud processing and no server round-trip on our side. Copies can still exist off your device in three ways, none of them an upload by EraserPing:

  • Android auto backup — the app opts into Android's automatic backup, so the system may copy the app's private files to your device backup service (usually Google Drive), unless you turn backup off for EraserPing.
  • Saving to your gallery or Photos — a cutout you save becomes an ordinary file, and if your gallery or Photos has cloud sync or backup switched on, that file can sync to that cloud. That sync is your setting, not something EraserPing performs.
  • Sharing — when you share a cutout (or share a photo into EraserPing), the file goes to the app you share it with, under that app's own rules.

How EraserPing accesses your photos

On Android, you choose a photo with the system photo picker, which hands EraserPing only the file you selected. EraserPing requests no storage or photo-library permission to read your photos. On iPhone and iPad, you choose a photo through the system photo picker, and EraserPing can also receive a photo shared to it from another app's share sheet via its share extension.

Saving your cutout

When you save a finished cutout, EraserPing writes it to your device. On iPhone and iPad it is added to your Photos library using add-only access, so EraserPing can add the image but cannot read your existing photos. A saved cutout is an ordinary file that stays in your gallery until you delete it there.

No account required

EraserPing requires no account, sign-in, or registration of any kind. There is no user profile and no login, and PingApps Lab does not link your data to an identity — we hold no account that could link it to. One qualification: the ad and analytics SDKs named below collect device-level identifiers and interaction data from your device, and Apple's App Privacy label marks some of that data as linked to you, because those SDKs collect it — not because it is tied to an EraserPing profile. Your history, settings, and cutouts are stored locally on your device.

Permissions and app access

On Android, EraserPing declares the following permissions:

  • Notifications — the manifest declares POST_NOTIFICATIONS, but EraserPing posts no notifications: progress is shown only inside the app while a photo is processed.
  • Storage write (legacy, Android 9 and below only) — to save a cutout into your gallery on devices before Android 10. On Android 10 and above the system scoped-storage insert needs no permission, so this is never requested there.

EraserPing does not request access to your contacts, microphone, location, or your existing photos. On iPhone and iPad, EraserPing asks for add-only Photos access only when you save a cutout, and it may show the system tracking permission (ATT) prompt once for ads.

Advertising (free users only)

Free users see a single small banner ad, served by Google's Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) SDK with Meta (Facebook) Audience Network enabled as a mediated ad network through the AdMob mediation adapter — both ad network SDKs are present in the app on Android and on iPhone and iPad. No other ad network is integrated. There is no interstitial, rewarded, native, or app-open ad. Subscribers never see ads.

Requesting and measuring an ad sends data off your device to those ad networks as third parties. The ad SDKs may collect a device or advertising identifier (the advertising ID on Android; the IDFA on iPhone and iPad), your IP address (from which approximate location is derived), ad and product-interaction data — ad requests, impressions, and clicks — and diagnostic data, for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention. PingApps Lab itself never logs or collects any ad identifier or ad-unit ID.

On iPhone and iPad, tracking is governed by Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT): after you complete Google's consent form, the app asks for permission to track you, and identifiers are used for tracking only if you allow it.

Analytics, crash reporting and remote config

EraserPing includes Firebase Crashlytics (crash reports), Firebase Analytics (usage analytics) and Firebase Remote Config (feature settings fetched from Google) on both Android and iPhone and iPad. Crash reporting and analytics are enabled in release builds and there is no in-app setting to turn them off.

They are strictly content-free: they never include your photos, your cutouts, filenames, or file paths. Crash reports carry technical information such as a stack trace, device model, OS version, and app version. Analytics record bounded events and enum values — for example that a cutout run started or finished — with no media content.

Purchases

EraserPing has one optional purchase: a single auto-renewing monthly subscription that removes the banner ad. It is billed monthly by Google Play on Android or the App Store on iPhone and iPad, at the price the store lists, and it renews automatically until you cancel it. You manage and cancel the subscription in your store account's subscription settings — not in the app.

Purchases are processed entirely by Google Play or the App Store under each store's own policies. EraserPing never collects your payment details (card number, billing address); the store's own checkout collects that directly, and EraserPing's code never has access to it. The purchase token the store returns is used only to confirm and restore your subscription. PingApps Lab has no payments database of its own. The Android and iOS subscriptions are separate purchases.

Data and deletion

All of EraserPing's data — your history and app settings — is stored locally on your device. PingApps Lab does not hold a copy of it, so there is no account to close and no server-side data to request the deletion of.

You can delete individual items from the app's history at any time. Uninstalling EraserPing removes all of its on-device data. Cutouts you have already saved to your gallery or Photos are ordinary files and remain until you delete them yourself.

Changes to this policy

If we make material changes to this privacy policy, we will update this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of EraserPing after a change is posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
