Privacy Policy

When you use Coin Identifier, we may collect the following types of information:

Photos you upload: Images you submit for coin identification are processed by our AI system to generate an identification. We do not permanently store your uploaded images after the identification is complete. Photos are processed in memory and discarded.

Usage data: We collect anonymised usage statistics — pages visited, features used, and identification requests — to improve the service. This data does not identify you personally.

• •Improve the accuracy and capabilities of our AI identification system (using anonymised, aggregated data only)

Your uploaded photos are processed solely for the purpose of coin identification. We do not:
