Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 12, 2026

Image ID ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our website (imageid.store) and mobile applications (collectively, the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

When you use Image ID, the following information may be collected or processed:

Images you upload or capture: Photos and images you choose to submit for analysis.
Image metadata (EXIF): Embedded metadata such as camera model, GPS coordinates, and date taken, which is extracted locally as part of the analysis.
Device and usage data: Basic analytics data such as page views and feature usage, collected via Google Analytics to improve the Service.

We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information.

2. How We Use Your Images

Images you upload are used solely for the purpose of providing the analysis features of the Service, including AI detection, text extraction (OCR), component identification, and image description.

3. Third-Party AI Processing Services

To perform image analysis, your images are transmitted to third-party AI service providers. These providers process your images on our behalf to generate analysis results. The third-party services we use include:

Service Provider	Purpose	Privacy Policy
OpenRouter (OpenRouter, Inc.)	AI model routing and inference for image analysis (description, OCR, component detection, AI detection)	openrouter.ai/privacy
Google Gemini (Google LLC)	Vision AI model used for image analysis tasks, accessed via OpenRouter	Google Gemini API Terms

Important:

Your images are sent to these services only for real-time processing to generate analysis results.
Your images are not stored permanently by these third-party services.
Your images are not used to train AI models by these services.
We do not sell or share your images with any third party for marketing, advertising, or any purpose other than providing the analysis you requested.

4. Data Storage and Retention

Temporary storage: Images you upload are stored temporarily on our servers (hosted on Google Cloud) to enable sharing of analysis results via unique URLs.
No permanent storage: We do not permanently store your images. Uploaded images may be periodically purged.
Analysis results: When you share a result, the analysis output (text descriptions, AI verdict, detected components) is stored to enable the share link to function.

5. Camera and Photo Library Permissions

Our mobile apps may request access to your device's camera and photo library. These permissions are used solely to:

Allow you to take photos for immediate analysis.
Allow you to select existing photos from your library for analysis.

We do not access your camera or photo library without your explicit action, and we do not collect or store photos beyond those you choose to analyze.

6. Analytics

We use Google Analytics to collect anonymized usage data (page views, feature usage, device type) to improve the Service. No personally identifiable information is collected through analytics.

7. Data Security

All data transmitted between your device and our servers, and between our servers and third-party AI services, is encrypted using HTTPS/TLS. We use industry-standard security practices to protect your data.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of changes by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. You are advised to review this page periodically.
