Image Processing & Data Retention

Important: We Do Not Store Your Images

  • Encrypted Transmission: All image uploads use end-to-end encryption (TLS 1.3).

Analysis Results Retention

We may retain anonymized analysis metadata (such as timestamps and detection scores without the actual images) for service improvement and usage analytics. This data cannot be linked back to specific images or identified users.
