Privacy & Terms

What we collect, how we use it, and the terms that govern your use of AuthentiScan.

Last updated: 7 October 2025

Privacy Policy #

AuthentiScan is a free tool that estimates whether media may be AI-generated or manipulated. We aim to keep personal data collection minimal and transparent.

Uploads & processing #

  • Transient processing: files you upload (images, video snippets, audio, documents) are processed to compute scores and are not retained long-term.
  • Derived data: we may keep brief, non-identifying logs of analysis metadata (e.g., file type, size range, processing time, detector flags) to improve reliability and prevent abuse.
  • URLs: if you analyze a public URL, our servers may fetch it to extract media/text for scanning.

Logs & diagnostics #

Like most services, we keep standard server logs (IP address, user-agent, timestamps, HTTP status) for security and operations. Logs are rotated and access is restricted.

Cookies, ads & consent #

  • Consent banner: you can manage advertising-related consent via the on-site banner.
  • AdSense: we use Google AdSense to show light ads on content-rich pages. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or local storage for ad delivery and measurement.
  • Essential cookies: we may use strictly necessary cookies for security and basic functionality.

Analytics #

We may use privacy-minded analytics to understand aggregate usage (e.g., page views, error rates) without building personal profiles.

Data sharing #

We do not sell personal data. We may share limited data with service providers that help us operate the site (e.g., hosting, error logging, ad serving) under appropriate agreements.

Data retention #

Uploads are processed transiently; operational logs are retained for a limited period consistent with security and legal requirements.

Your choices #

  • Use the consent banner to control advertising cookies where available.
  • Do not upload sensitive personal information you do not have permission to share.
  • Contact us to ask questions or request deletion of any inadvertently persistent data that identifies you.

Security #

We take reasonable measures to protect data in transit and at rest. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

International transfers #

Data may be processed in the country where you reside and in other countries where our providers operate. Protections are applied as required by law.

Updates to this policy #

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above.
