Privacy promise
How we protect your work
No vague privacy language. Here is exactly what happens to your work.
Your artwork remains yours
The platform claims no ownership of your work. Uploaded artwork is not used to train AI, sold, licensed by the platform, or used as stock content. It is never made public without your explicit permission.
What is uploaded
For the no-account protect flow, images are processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to save a record or use a service that requires it.
What is retained
When you save to your archive, the service retains the protection record — metadata, hashes, fingerprints, and the fields you entered — not your master file. You can delete records at any time.
What is processed temporarily
Visible marks, derivatives, hashes, and fingerprints are computed in your browser and discarded once you leave the page, unless you save or download them.
What third parties receive
Only what a feature explicitly requires, and only with your action. An independent timestamp sends only a hash. A reverse-image search sends only a derivative, never your master. Every external transmission is disclosed before it happens.
Public, private, and unlisted
Records are private by default. You choose whether a record is private, unlisted (accessible by link or ID), or public. Only fields you mark public appear in the verify and “found this image” tools.
Deletion and export
Your records belong to you. You can export any record, collection, or your complete archive at any time, and delete what you no longer want stored. Exports are portable and remain useful without this service.
How local systems differ
In a private or local installation, your originals remain under your storage control on your own hardware. The cloud service is one deployment model, not the only one — there is no lock-in either way.
