Privacy Policy

Your trust is important to us. Here’s how we handle your data simply and transparently.

Your Files Are Processed in Memory

When you upload a file, it is sent securely to our server for text extraction. We do not save your file to a disk or database.

What does "in-memory" mean?

Think of it like a digital scratchpad. Our server uses its active memory (RAM) to temporarily hold your file just long enough to analyze it and extract the text.

Once the process is complete, the scratchpad is instantly wiped clean. The file is gone forever. It's the digital equivalent of writing a note on a whiteboard and erasing it immediately after you're done.

What information do we log?

To prevent abuse and monitor our service health, we keep a simple, anonymous log of each request. This log includes:

  • Your IP Address (anonymized)
  • The time of the request
  • The model used (e.g., "Cost/Benefit Model")
  • The status (success or failure)
  • The type of file you uploaded (e.g., "image/png")

We never log the content of your files or any extracted text.

We Log Anonymized Usage Data

We keep a record of API calls for statistics analytics and to prevent abuse. This information is separate from your files and contains no personal data from the documents themselves.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to provide our core functionality. Your uploaded files are securely sent to the AI model you select for processing.

User authentication is handled by Firebase (from Google). These partners have their own robust privacy policies and are leaders in the industry.

Your Privacy is Our Priority

We are committed to protecting your privacy. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out. We designed FancyOCR to be a tool you can use with confidence 😉.
