Privacy

Shadecote is built so that there is as little of your data to protect as possible. Finding faces, cutting the masks, blurring and zipping all happen inside the page in your browser. Your photographs never leave your device. The only thing downloaded is the face-detection model, once per session.

What the server sees

To run accounts and subscriptions, the server keeps your account details and usage counts: how many photographs went through and how many faces were blurred in each. Those counts are your own usage record, and the subscription is not metered on them. The server also checks whether a trial is still running. The photographs themselves are not part of any of it.

Cookies

The site uses a single session cookie to keep you signed in. There is no advertising, no third-party tracking, and no analytics that follows you around the web.

Your data

You can ask for a copy of your account data, or ask for it to be deleted, at any time — see the contact page. Deleting your account removes your details and usage record.
