All screenshots are encrypted in transit using TLS and at rest in our secure cloud storage. Access to your images is strictly controlled and limited to automated AI processing unless you provide explicit permission for human review.

  • Legal Requirements: When required by law, court order, or government request
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
  • With Your Consent: When you explicitly authorize us to share specific information

  • End-to-end encryption for data in transit (TLS/SSL)
  • Encryption at rest for stored screenshots and data
  • Regular security audits and updates
  • Secure authentication via Google OAuth
