Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Camera Simplified collects minimal data to provide and improve our educational platform. We may collect:

• Usage data — pages visited, features used, session duration, and browser/device type.
• Photos uploaded to the AI analyzer — images you voluntarily submit for analysis. These are processed ephemerally and not stored permanently.
• Contact information — name and email address if you reach out via our contact form.
• Cookies and local storage — used to remember your preferences and progress within the platform.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information solely to:

• Operate and improve the Camera Simplified platform and its features.
• Analyze platform usage in aggregate to understand which features are most helpful.
• Respond to support inquiries or questions you submit.
• Deliver AI-powered photo analysis results within your current session.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third parties.

3. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use first-party cookies and browser localStorage to save your settings (such as selected playground configurations) and enhance the learning experience. No cross-site tracking cookies are used.

We may use privacy-respecting analytics (e.g., aggregate page-view counters) that do not identify individual users. No advertising or behavioral tracking cookies are set.

4. Photo Uploads & AI Analysis

When you upload a photo to our AI Photo Analyzer, the image is sent to our AI processing service to generate feedback on exposure, composition, and camera settings. Your photos are:

• Processed in real time for the sole purpose of generating educational analysis.
• Not stored permanently on our servers beyond the duration of your session.
• Not used to train AI models or shared with third parties.

Please do not upload photos containing sensitive personal information.

5. Third-Party Services

Camera Simplified uses the following third-party services which may process limited data per their own privacy policies:

• Cloudflare — hosting, CDN, and edge network security.
• Google Fonts — loading web fonts (Inter, JetBrains Mono).
• AI Model Provider — for photo analysis processing (ephemeral, no storage).

6. Data Retention

We do not maintain a user account system or persistent user database. Session-level data is cleared when you close or leave the site. Any contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry.

7. Children's Privacy

Camera Simplified is designed to be an educational resource accessible to all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information to us, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
