Information We Collect

• Participate in surveys or promotions

This information may include: name, email address, company name, job title, phone number, and billing information.

Image and Visual Data

When you upload images or visual content to our platform for geolocation analysis, we process this data to provide our Services. For authenticated (signed-in) users, images are stored in base64 encoded format in our database to enable you to access your analysis history. We use industry-standard security measures to protect your visual data.

Demo Usage: Images uploaded through our demo service are not stored. Demo analyses are processed temporarily and results are not retained after the session.

Law Enforcement and Compliance: For authenticated users, we retain base64 encoded images in our database to enable us to provide evidence and documentation when requested by law enforcement agencies or as required by legal processes. This storage is necessary for compliance purposes and to support authorized investigations.

Usage Data

We automatically collect certain information when you access our Services, including: IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and timestamps.

IP Address Logging

We log and store IP addresses for the following purposes:

• Demo Usage Tracking: When you use our demo service, we log your IP address to track usage and enforce rate limits (currently 10 analyses per day per IP address) to ensure fair access to our demo features.
• Abuse Prevention and Monitoring: We monitor and log IP addresses to detect, prevent, and respond to abuse, fraud, security threats, and unauthorized access attempts. This helps us maintain the security and integrity of our Services.

IP addresses are stored securely and may be retained for as long as necessary to fulfill these purposes or as required by law. We may anonymize IP addresses after a certain retention period for privacy compliance.

Data Retention

Uploaded images and visual content from authenticated (signed-in) users are processed and stored in base64 encoded format in our database. Images are retained as long as your account is active and you have saved the analysis results. Demo usage images are not stored and are processed temporarily only.

IP addresses collected for demo usage tracking and abuse prevention are retained for as long as necessary to fulfill these purposes. We may anonymize IP addresses after a certain retention period (typically 90 days) for privacy compliance, while maintaining the ability to detect patterns of abuse and ensure service security.
