Use of the service
Fenwick DataClean provides a metadata cleaning tool and educational content for common image and video files. You may use the service to prepare cleaner public copies of files you own, files you have permission to process, or files you are otherwise allowed to handle.
Your responsibilities
You are responsible for the files you select, clean, download, store, and share. Do not use the service to process illegal content, violate someone else's rights, misrepresent authorship, hide misconduct, harass people, evade platform rules, or interfere with records that must be preserved. If a file belongs to a client, employer, publication, court, school, or regulated workflow, follow the rules that apply to that file.
No guarantee of complete removal
Metadata formats vary widely. Fenwick DataClean removes common metadata from supported files, but no web tool can guarantee that every possible hidden field, trace, or interpretation will be removed from every file. Some files may require specialized offline tools or professional review.
File integrity
Always open cleaned files before sharing them. Check that images display correctly and videos play as expected. Keep originals private when you need untouched files for archives, editing, legal records, authorship, or internal documentation.
Accounts
Free accounts may unlock larger batch limits and related features. Use accurate contact information, protect your password, and notify the site if you suspect unauthorized account access. Accounts may be limited or removed when they are used for abuse, automated misuse, or activity that harms the service.
Advertising
The site may display advertising to support free access. Advertising does not change your responsibility to use the cleaner carefully, and the site should remain navigable whether or not an ad is filled.
Changes
Fenwick DataClean may update the cleaner, supported formats, batch limits, pages, policies, and terms as the product changes. Continued use of the service after updates means you accept the current version.
Third-party services
The site may use third-party services for authentication, analytics, hosting, security, and advertising. Those services may process technical information according to their own policies. Fenwick DataClean should use those services to operate the site, improve reliability, prevent abuse, and support free access without making navigation deceptive.
Availability
The service may be unavailable during maintenance, outages, browser incompatibilities, network issues, or hosting problems. If the cleaner is unavailable, do not rely on it as the only way to meet an urgent privacy, legal, or professional deadline. Keep an alternative workflow for high-stakes files.
Plain-language intent
These terms are not a replacement for legal advice. They are meant to make the core expectations visible: use the service lawfully, preserve originals when needed, verify cleaned files, respect other people, and do not use metadata removal to deceive.
Responsible sharing
You should only share files when you have the right to do so. Cleaning metadata does not create permission to publish someone else's content, disclose private information, or bypass a contract, platform policy, workplace rule, or legal obligation. If sharing a cleaned copy would make the file misleading, do not share it.
Practical verification
The safest way to use the service is to test it with ordinary files before using it for important work. Keep originals, clean public copies, confirm outputs open correctly, and review the visible content. This routine makes the tool useful without treating it as a guarantee for every situation.
Account and access changes
Fenwick DataClean may change batch limits, login features, supported file types, or future paid plans as the product develops. Changes should be reflected in the public pages so users can understand the current service before relying on it.
