Privacy Policy & Terms of Use

1. Data Collection & Processing

The Insighta AI Assistant is designed with privacy as a core principle. We implement the following practices:

• No Personal Data Storage: Images uploaded or captured via camera are processed in real-time and are not stored on our servers.
• Anonymous Processing: All analysis occurs without linking images to personal identifiers.
• Transient Processing: Images are held in memory only for the duration of analysis (typically less than 2 seconds).
• No Tracking: We do not use cookies or tracking technologies to monitor individual users.

2. Technical Implementation

• Image processing occurs entirely in the user's browser session for camera analysis
• Uploaded images are transmitted securely (HTTPS) for server-side analysis but are immediately deleted after processing
• No personal health information (PHI) is collected or stored
• Server logs are anonymized and rotated regularly

3. Research Data

For research improvement purposes, we may collect anonymized, aggregated statistics such as:

• Total number of analyses performed
• General performance metrics (accuracy, processing time)
• Browser and device types (for compatibility improvement)

No individual images or analysis results are included in research datasets without explicit, informed consent through our formal research collaboration program.
