Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that is handled by photoscanr.com and how we use it.

1. Information We Handle

We do not collect any Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Our service is designed to be anonymous and private.

• Image Data: The core function of our service involves processing images you upload. These images are sent directly from your browser to the Google Gemini API for analysis. We, at PhotoScanr, do not see, log, or store your images on any server. The entire process is stateless; your image is discarded from memory immediately after the analysis is complete.
• Usage Data: We may collect non-personal, anonymous usage data for statistical purposes to improve our service, such as the number of images processed. This data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify any individual user.

2. Third-Party Data Processors

To provide our analysis service, we rely on a third-party data processor:

• Google Gemini API: Your uploaded images are sent to Google for AI analysis. We recommend you review Google's Privacy Policy to understand how they handle data. We are not responsible for the data practices of Google.
