Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

BankNote AI ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website banknote.ai, use our mobile application, or interact with our services (collectively, the "Services").

By using our Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our Services.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide and improve our Services, which involve AI-powered analysis of banknote images.

• Personal Information: When you create an account or authenticate, we collect your email address, username, and any profile information you provide. If you log in via third-party services (e.g., Google), we receive limited information from those providers.
• User-Generated Content: Images of banknotes you upload for analysis, along with metadata like device type, IP address, and timestamps. We do not store raw images after analysis unless you save the result.
• Usage Data: Automatically collected information such as browser type, pages visited, time spent on site, and search queries to improve functionality.
• Cookies and Tracking: We use cookies for session management, analytics (via Google Analytics), and preferences. You can manage cookies in your browser settings.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

• To provide AI analysis, search, and personalization features.
• To communicate with you (e.g., account updates, service notifications).
• To analyze usage trends and improve our Services (anonymized data).
• To comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, and enforce our Terms.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Shared data is limited to service providers (e.g., Supabase for database, cloud storage) under strict agreements.

4. Data Security and Retention

We implement reasonable security measures (e.g., encryption, access controls) to protect your data. However, no system is completely secure.

Analysis results and usage data are retained as long as your account is active. Uploaded images are processed temporarily and deleted after 30 days unless saved. You can request deletion via support@banknote.ai.

5. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to processing of your data. Contact us to exercise these rights.

• Opt-out of marketing emails via unsubscribe links.
• Delete your account in settings (data retained for 30 days for backups).
• Do Not Track (DNT) signals are honored where applicable.

6. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If we learn of such collection, we will delete it promptly.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices. We will notify you via email or site notice for material changes. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance.
