YOUR FILES AND PROCESSING DATA
Privacy Policy
This policy explains image processing and optional Google sign-in at pictureupscaler.app. You can use the free image trial without an account or payment.
What the Service Processes
When you use AI processing, the service handles the image you upload, the settings you select, the processed output, and operational records such as job status, timestamps, dimensions, model processing time, cost, and errors.
The application derives a keyed hash from your network IP address to enforce the daily limit. The jobs database stores this pseudonymous identifier rather than the raw IP address. Hosting and infrastructure providers may separately process IP addresses and request logs to deliver and secure the service. A keyed hash should not be treated as a guarantee of anonymity.
Optional Google Sign-In
If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive your Google account identifier, name, email address, verification status, and profile photo URL. We use these details to create and display your account and let you sign in again. Google handles its sign-in and consent screens under its own privacy policy.
The service stores account links, authentication and session records, expiry times, and security or rate-limit records in its database. Session records may include your IP address and browser information. This account data is separate from image jobs: signing in does not claim earlier anonymous jobs, link jobs by matching an IP address, or create an image-history account.
Where Images and Job Records Go
Image files are uploaded directly to Cloudflare R2 using signed upload links. fal processes input images for AI enlargement. Output files are copied into R2 for access through the service. Job records are stored in a Neon Postgres database, and Vercel hosts the application.
These providers process information under their own service terms and privacy policies. Access links are temporary credentials: anyone who has a valid file link may be able to open that file until the link expires. Do not share signed links publicly.
Storage and Retention
Uploaded and processed images are stored to complete jobs and make results available for download. The service does not currently promise that every stored file is automatically deleted within 24 hours. An expiring download link does not mean the underlying file has been deleted.
Operational job records may remain for troubleshooting, abuse prevention, and understanding processing cost. Keep your own original and downloaded copies; this service is not a permanent backup. Avoid uploading confidential or sensitive documents unless you are comfortable with the processing described here.
Account and related authentication records are kept to operate and secure optional sign-in. You can request account deletion using the contact details below. Expiry of a session does not by itself delete your account or all related records.
Local Processing and Browser Data
Image previews, supported format conversion, and resizing to the input limit happen in your browser. When you start AI upscaling, the prepared image is uploaded for processing. Pixel art and PDF tools are not available in this initial release.
The service can use browser-held job information to support image processing. Optional Google sign-in uses necessary cookies to complete authentication and keep you signed in. Sessions are configured for seven days; signing out ends the current session. Blocking these cookies can prevent sign-in, while the image trial remains available without an account.
The current trial does not require payment details or an advertising profile. Signing in does not increase the five-task daily allowance shared by an IP address.
Your Choices
Only upload files you are entitled to use. You can preview your image and stop before submitting an AI job. Stopping the browser or closing a page may not cancel an AI job that has already been submitted.
For privacy questions or requests about your uploaded images and processing records, contact sg4h40n4n@gmail.com. Include the approximate processing date and a description of your request.
To request deletion of your account, email sg4h40n4n@gmail.com from the email address used for Google sign-in. We may ask for confirmation that you control the account before acting. Do not send your Google password, authentication cookies, or access tokens. Because image jobs are not associated with your account, also describe any image or job-record request separately.
