What We Collect

Faux Spy is built with privacy in mind. We collect the absolute minimum data needed to provide our service:

• Image/video URLs - Sent to our detection API only when you investigate an image or video. We don't store the URL itself - it's discarded after the scan.
• Anonymized detection history - When you scan an image or video, we store a one-way cryptographic hash of its URL (not the URL itself), the verdict, and the website's domain (e.g. "instagram.com") - so if someone else scans the same image or video later, we can tell them "checked by N other people" and show the prior verdict. This record can't be traced back to you: we never store your user ID, IP address, the full page URL, or any link between this record and your account or device.
• Email address - Only if you subscribe to a paid plan. Used for license delivery and support.
• Usage statistics - Stored locally in your browser. Never sent to us.

What We Don't Collect

• ❌ Your browsing history
• ❌ Personal identifiable information
• ❌ Cookies or tracking pixels
• ❌ Images themselves (only the URL)
• ❌ Any way to trace a stored detection record back to the person who scanned it - no user ID, IP address, or device identifier is ever attached

• Hive AI - Image detection. Receives image URLs only.
• Sightengine - Image and video detection. Receives image/video URLs only.
