1.2 Files You Process

Important: Your files are NOT uploaded to our servers.

• We do not have access to your files
• Files are not stored, transmitted, or analyzed by our servers
• All processing happens locally in your web browser

1.3 AI-Powered Features

For certain AI-powered features (such as Text-to-Image generation, OCR, and Photo Enhancement), minimal data is transmitted to our secure backend proxy, which then communicates with Google's Gemini API. In these cases:

• Only the necessary data for AI processing is sent (e.g., text prompts, image data)
• Data is transmitted over secure, encrypted connections (HTTPS)
• We do not store or retain the data sent to AI services
• Google's Gemini API may process data according to their own privacy policy
• No personal identifying information is attached to AI requests
