Usage Data
The image data used during analysis is never store, and there are no logs kept of what images (including their URLs) a user has analyzed. Image data is only stored when a user reports an image and they have enabled the option for uploading reported images. The images reported by a user are tracked by their data signature and not the image itself. The data signature cannot be used to recreate the original image.

User emails are used only for sign in as a measure to prevent abuse, such as bulk mis-reporting images. User emails will never be shared with a third-party (excluding the cloud service providers that power the detector service). User accounts and reports are tracked using a signature generated from their email, which cannot be converted back into the original address. This is why all news and announcements for the AI Image Detector will be distributed via the extension itself or the project's GitHub page.

Training Data
Access to the detector's training data will be granted at no cost to anyone, if they agree not to use it for training generative AI models. Classification models such as the ones used by the detector are permitted. This is to avoid inadvertently contributing to the the development of harder to detect AI image generators and the theft of real peoples' creative works/property. You can find the detector training data on Hugging Face.

The images stored as training data are tracked using a different data signature than any reports that users may have made on that image. This ensures that the user reports cannot be correlated to any images in the training data. This provides an additional layer of privacy protection between users' usage data and the detectors training data.
