Privacy Policy

Summary

To run an analysis you need a free account (new accounts usually include one free analysis; this is limited per network to prevent abuse). You can also buy a credit pack before creating an account. The photo you upload is used only to produce your analysis and is deleted when the analysis finishes (see the 24-hour backstop below). We do not keep your image or your reading, and we do not use them to train AI models.

What we process

1. The photo you upload. Before upload, your browser re-encodes the image, which removes location and camera metadata. On our servers the photo is stored temporarily in private storage, checked by automated safety filters, sent to an AI vision model for analysis, and then deleted. As a backstop, any file left in temporary storage is removed automatically within 24 hours.
2. The analysis result. The text of your reading is returned to your browser and is not saved on our servers.
3. Phone upload sessions. If you use the QR code to upload from your phone, the upload link is valid for 15 minutes. The photo is deleted once your computer collects it or cancels; anything not collected is removed by the same 24-hour backstop.
4. Your account. When you sign up we store your email address, your name if you provide it, and, if you sign in with Google, the basic profile details Google shares (name, email, profile picture). We also keep your credit balance and a history of credit grants, purchases and analyses used (date and amount only, not the photo or reading).
5. Payments. Payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card details; Stripe tells us the checkout email, the pack bought, the amount and the payment status. If you pay before creating an account, we keep that checkout email and purchase record so the credits can be added when you sign up with the same email.
6. Bot protection. Each analysis is checked with Cloudflare Turnstile to stop automated abuse. Turnstile processes technical signals from your browser for this check.
7. Technical data. Like most websites we process your IP address and basic request information. We store a one-way hash of the IP address only to apply fair-use limits; once a limit no longer applies, the hash becomes eligible for deletion and is removed by routine cleanup that runs as the site is used. Our hosting provider keeps standard security logs.
8. Analytics and cookies. We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages are used. Where required, we ask for consent before setting non-essential cookies, and you can change your choice at any time via “Cookie settings”.

Service providers

We rely on a small number of processors to run the service: Cloudflare (hosting, database, temporary storage and Turnstile), Stripe (payments), Google (only if you choose Google sign-in), an email provider (sign-up and account emails), an AI vision model provider (to analyze the photo) and an image safety-screening provider. They process the photo only to provide their service to us.

What not to upload

Please do not upload photos that show faces, ID documents, bank details, other people’s private writing, or anything you are not entitled to share. The tool only looks at the shape of the writing and does not transcribe its content.

Children

The service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly process their data.

Your rights

We do not keep your photos or results, so there is nothing to access or delete there. You can ask us to access, correct or delete your account data at any time by emailing support@handwritinganalyzers.com. We keep payment records for as long as tax and accounting law requires, even after an account is deleted.

Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version.
