Privacy, image handling, and upload retention

Privacy Policy

This policy explains how this deployment of AI Image Evidence Checker handles image uploads and evidence reports. It is intended as a clear product privacy notice, not as legal advice.

Last updated: June 9, 2026

Short version

Uploads are processed temporarily for your requested evidence report, deleted after analysis, and not used for training or persistent report history.

What we collect

  • When you run an evidence check, the service receives the uploaded image file plus basic file metadata such as filename, MIME type, extension, and file size.
  • The service may also process technical request metadata such as request time, IP-derived routing information, user agent, and API status codes through normal infrastructure logs.
  • The current product flow does not create user accounts, saved galleries, persistent report history, or marketing profiles.

How we use uploads

  • Uploaded images are used only to run the evidence check requested by the user.
  • The analysis inspects provenance metadata, raw byte markers, camera-like evidence, and frequency-domain signals to generate an evidence report.
  • The evidence report is not legal attribution, not a copyright determination, and not a definitive AI-versus-real detector.

Upload retention commitment

  • Temporary processing only: uploaded files are written to a temporary backend directory while the request is being analyzed.
  • Uploaded files are deleted after analysis, and the temporary directory is removed when the request finishes, including error and timeout paths.
  • Uploads are not written into samples, runs, or an application database by the current product flow.

No training or model improvement use

  • Uploaded images are not used to train models, retrain models, improve AI systems, or build facial recognition datasets.
  • The current checker runs local evidence modules for the requested report and does not use uploads for unrelated product development.
  • If a future deployment adds a third-party AI or storage processor, the privacy notice should be updated before that behavior is enabled.

What not to upload

  • Do not upload images that you are not authorized to process or share with this deployment.
  • Avoid uploading highly sensitive, illegal, confidential, medical, biometric-identification, or third-party private images unless you have the required rights and consent.
  • This product is designed for lightweight evidence review, not for identity verification, medical advice, legal advice, or law-enforcement decisions.

Limits and user controls

  • Because the current product flow does not store uploaded files or persistent report history, there is no in-product archive to download or delete later.
  • Infrastructure providers may retain request metadata or operational logs according to the deployment environment's logging configuration.
