Privacy Policy

1. Information We DON'T Collect

Unlike most services, we explicitly DON'T collect:

• Personal identification information
• Email addresses or phone numbers
• Location data or IP addresses for identification (analytics IPs are anonymized)
• Device identifiers or fingerprints
• Any form of user accounts or profiles

2. How Your Scans Work

When you upload an image for scanning:

1. Processing: Your image is processed in real-time to identify visual matches
2. Immediate Deletion: The image is deleted immediately after processing (within seconds)
3. No Storage: We do not store, archive, or retain any uploaded images
4. No Association: Scans are not linked to any user identity
5. No History: We don't maintain any history of your searches or results

3. Technical Privacy Measures

We implement multiple technical safeguards:

• Encryption: All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption
• No Persistent Storage: Images exist only in temporary memory during processing
• No Logging: We don't log image data or search queries
• Local Processing: Where possible, processing happens in your browser

4. Laboratory Database

The pill identification database contains:

• Publicly available laboratory test results from verified sources
• No personal information about substance submitters
• Only aggregate, anonymized data from testing facilities

5. Third-Party Services

We minimize third-party service usage:

• Hosting: Our service is hosted on privacy-respecting infrastructure
• Analytics: We use Google Analytics (GA4) with IP anonymization enabled and cookieless mode where possible. This collects anonymous usage data (page views, button clicks, scroll depth) to help us improve the service. No scan images or results are included in analytics data. You can opt out by enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser.
• No Social Media Integration: No Facebook, Twitter, or other social tracking

6. Data Retention

We have a zero-retention policy:

• Images are deleted immediately after processing (typically 1-3 seconds)
• No search history is maintained
• No user profiles or accounts exist to store data
• Server logs, if any, contain no personally identifiable information

7. Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal data:

• There's no personal data to request or delete
• There's no profile to modify or export
• You're automatically "forgotten" after each scan
• You can disable analytics by enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser

8. Legal Compliance

9. Children's Privacy

This service is not directed at children under 18. We don't knowingly collect information from minors. Since we don't collect personal information from anyone, this protection is automatically enforced.

10. International Users

Our privacy practices apply equally to all users worldwide. Since we don't collect personal data, there are no cross-border data transfer concerns.

11. Changes to This Policy

If we update this privacy policy, we will:

• Post the new policy on this page
• Update the "Last Updated" date below
• Maintain our commitment to user privacy

12. Open Source Commitment

We believe in transparency. Our privacy practices are verifiable through our commitment to open development practices.
