PhotoCheck

Privacy

Last updated: 2026-05-27

Short version: we delete your photo within one hour, we do not create an account for you, and we do not sell or share your image or email with anyone.

What we store, briefly

  • Your uploaded photo. Held in private object storage only long enough to run the analysis (typically under 10 seconds) and to deliver your report link if you paid for a detailed report. Permanently deleted within one hour of upload. We do not back it up.
  • Your email (paid tiers only). Used solely to deliver your report link. Not added to a marketing list. Deleted after 30 days.
  • Aggregate usage data. Country selected, status outcome, response time. Used to monitor the service and improve accuracy. No image data; no identifying data.

What we do not store

  • Your name, address, passport number, or any government ID
  • Facial recognition embeddings or biometric vectors
  • Any cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking
  • A "user account" — there is no login

Third parties involved in processing

  • Vercel — hosting and object storage (US/EU regions)
  • Google Gemini— the vision model that analyses your photo, accessed through Vercel’s gateway with zero data retention. Your image is not used to train models.
  • Stripe — payment processing for paid tiers. We never see your card.

Your rights

Because we hold so little data (and only for an hour), most rights (deletion, portability) are satisfied automatically. If you believe we hold data about you and want it deleted before the auto-deletion window, email privacy@getphotocheck.com.
