  • Camera Images: When using camera mode, video processing happens locally on your device. We never access or store your camera feed.

For operational purposes, we may collect:

  • Basic Usage Data: Anonymous analytics about feature usage to improve our service (e.g., which scanning mode is used most frequently).
  • Technical Information: Browser type, device type, and operating system for compatibility optimization.
  • Error Reports: If you encounter an error, we may collect anonymous diagnostic information to fix issues.
