It's AI? Privacy Policy

Privacy policy and more

This Privacy Policy applies to It's AI? on Safari and It's AI? for macOS. It explains what data is processed on-device, when an image is sent to a third-party provider, what is stored locally on your Mac, and what choices you control.

Effective Date: April 14, 2026 Platforms: macOS + Safari Cloud upload only when you choose a cloud or hybrid engine

At a glance

On-device mode

If you use the bundled local detector without cloud recheck, image analysis runs on your Mac with bundled Core ML models. The image is not uploaded to a third-party detection provider in that mode.

Cloud and hybrid modes

If you choose Sightengine, Hive, AI or Not, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or a hybrid mode that rechecks with one of them, the selected image may be transmitted to that provider for analysis.

Local storage

API credentials are stored securely in Keychain on your Mac. The Safari extension stores only the latest analysis result and the page state needed to show the latest inline output. The apps are designed not to keep a local history of older analyses.

Products covered

It's AI? on Safari

A Safari extension that lets you analyze selected images from webpages and review results directly inside Safari.

It's AI?

A macOS app that can run bundled local models on-device or call supported cloud providers when you configure and enable them.

Who controls the upload choice

You choose whether to stay on-device or use a cloud-capable workflow. If you do not want a selected image to leave your Mac, use local-only mode and avoid enabling cloud or hybrid engines.

Policy details

1. Information processed when you use the apps

  • Selected image data that you explicitly choose to analyze.
  • Engine configuration and app settings, such as the provider you selected.
  • API credentials you enter for supported cloud providers, stored in Keychain on your Mac.
  • For the Safari extension, the most recent inline result state needed to show the latest output on a page.

2. When data is sent to third parties

A selected image is sent to a third-party provider only when you choose a cloud engine or a hybrid workflow that uses cloud recheck. Supported providers may include Sightengine, Hive, AI or Not, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini, depending on what you configure. Their handling of uploaded content is governed by their own terms and privacy practices, not this policy alone.

3. On-device analysis

The apps include local model workflows designed to run on your Mac. In local-only mode, analysis is performed through bundled native code and bundled Core ML models. This is the privacy-preserving option if you do not want to use a third-party API.

4. What is stored locally

  • API credentials are stored securely in Keychain on your Mac.
  • Non-sensitive settings may be stored locally so the app can remember your preferences.
  • The Safari extension stores only the latest result and limited page state needed to render the latest inline output.
  • The products are designed not to keep a local archive or history of older analysis results.

5. Tracking, advertising, and sale of data

The apps are not designed to sell your personal data or use advertising trackers for behavioral advertising. If you choose a cloud provider, that provider may receive the selected image as part of the analysis request you initiated.

6. Data retention

Credentials remain in Keychain until you remove them or delete the app data on your Mac. Local result state is limited to the most recent output needed for app behavior. If you send an image to a third-party provider, retention on that provider is subject to the provider's own policies.

7. Your choices

  • Use local-only mode if you do not want selected images uploaded.
  • Do not add cloud provider credentials unless you want that provider available.
  • Remove stored credentials from the app settings when you no longer want to use a provider.
  • Review third-party provider terms before enabling cloud or hybrid workflows.

8. Children

These products are not directed to children under 13, and you should not upload content you are not authorized to analyze or share.

9. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated when product behavior, supported providers, storage design, or compliance requirements change. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated when material changes are published.

Important limitation

Detection outputs are for reference only. They should not be treated as judicial, copyright, platform-enforcement, academic-review, or compliance determinations.

Third-party responsibility

If you use a third-party provider, you are responsible for making sure your intended use and uploaded content comply with that provider's rules and your own legal or contractual obligations.
