Unlike many platforms that treat user images as free training data or advertising inventory, we prioritize&nbsp;<strong>User Sovereignty<\/strong>&nbsp;over your visual content. This policy outlines exactly how we handle, protect, and respect your images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Ownership and Control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>You Retain Full Ownership:<\/strong>\u00a0Uploading an image to PocketComputer does not transfer copyright or ownership to us. You remain the sole owner of all intellectual property rights associated with your images.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Granular Permissions:<\/strong>\u00a0You decide exactly who sees your images. Whether it&#8217;s private, shared with a specific group, or public, you maintain granular control via our dashboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Right to Deletion:<\/strong>\u00a0You can delete any image at any time. Upon deletion, we guarantee the immediate removal of the image from our active servers and our backups within 30 days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. No Training on Your Images<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We explicitly&nbsp;<strong>do not<\/strong>&nbsp;use your personal images to train our AI models, improve our algorithms, or generate synthetic data for third parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Zero-Data-Training Promise:<\/strong>\u00a0Your images are never ingested into Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) or generative AI systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Synthetic Derivatives:<\/strong>\u00a0We do not create &#8220;digital twins&#8221; or synthetic variations of your photos without your explicit, written consent.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Encryption and Security<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure your images remain yours alone:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>End-to-End Encryption (E2EE):<\/strong>\u00a0Images stored in your private vault are encrypted on your device before leaving your browser\/app. Only you hold the decryption keys. Even PocketComputer staff cannot view your private images.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Secure Transmission:<\/strong>\u00a0All image transfers utilize TLS 1.3 encryption to prevent interception during upload or download.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Metadata Stripping (Optional):<\/strong>\u00a0By default, we offer an option to strip EXIF data (location, device info, timestamps) upon upload to prevent accidental geotagging leaks, while preserving the visual integrity of the photo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Anti-Scraping and Deepfake Protection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We employ technical measures to prevent unauthorized access to your visual identity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bot Mitigation:<\/strong>\u00a0Our systems actively detect and block automated scrapers attempting to harvest images from public profiles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Watermarking:<\/strong>\u00a0For public-facing images, we offer optional invisible watermarking to help trace unauthorized usage or deepfake manipulation attempts back to the original source.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Takedown Protocol:<\/strong>\u00a0If you discover your image is being used elsewhere without permission, our dedicated team provides a streamlined process to issue DMCA takedowns and coordinate with hosting providers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Third-Party Sharing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We do not sell your images or visual metadata to advertisers, data brokers, or third-party analytics firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Service Providers:<\/strong>\u00a0Images are only shared with third-party processors (e.g., CDN providers) strictly necessary for delivery, and these partners are contractually bound to the same privacy standards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Legal Requests:<\/strong>\u00a0We will only disclose images in response to a valid legal order (warrant or subpoena) and will notify you immediately unless legally prohibited from doing so.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Your Rights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under global privacy standards (GDPR, CCPA, and emerging digital rights acts), you have the right to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Access:<\/strong>\u00a0Download a complete archive of all images you have stored with us.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rectify:<\/strong>\u00a0Correct metadata errors or replace corrupted files.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Portability:<\/strong>\u00a0Export your images in standard formats (JPEG, PNG, RAW) to move to another service.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Object:<\/strong>\u00a0Opt out of any non-essential processing of your visual data.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Us<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have questions about your image privacy or wish to exercise your rights, contact our Data Protection Officer at: \ud83d\udce7&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"mailto:privacy@pocketcomputer.net\">privacy@pocketcomputer.net<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Privacy Policy Last Updated:&nbsp;May 26, 2026Domain:&nbsp;pocketcomputer.net At&nbsp;PocketComputer, we believe that your visual data is an extension of your personal identity.
