Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters. This policy explains how AI Counter collects, uses, and protects your information whenever you engage with our services.

Last updated: October 2026

Information We Collect

  • Images uploaded for counting analysis (stored securely for up to 30 days for troubleshooting, then deleted automatically).
  • Device information such as browser type, operating system, and screen resolution.
  • Usage analytics including visited pages, utilised features, and session duration.
  • IP address and general location data for security and analytics.
  • Contact information when you reach out to our support teams.

AI Counter iOS App: Account, Purchases & Data

  • Sign in with Apple is optional. We receive only the unique identifier Apple provides, plus your name and email if you choose to share them (the email may be an Apple private relay address).
  • Without signing in you use the app as a guest. The app creates a random device identifier stored in your device’s Keychain, and we use Apple DeviceCheck to grant the free quota only once per device. DeviceCheck stores two bits per device on Apple’s servers and does not identify you.
  • Photos you submit are uploaded over HTTPS to our cloud storage (Tencent Cloud, Beijing, China) for counting, kept for up to 30 days for troubleshooting, then deleted automatically. They are never used for advertising.
  • Your recognition history is stored only on your device and is not uploaded.
  • Purchases are processed by Apple. We receive only transaction details (product, transaction ID, purchase and expiry dates) to grant your counts and membership, and never receive your payment card information.
  • You can delete your account anytime in Settings → Delete account. This immediately deletes your account, remaining counts and uploaded photos and revokes the Apple authorization. Transaction records are kept in de-identified form for accounting and legal obligations. Active subscriptions must be cancelled in your Apple Account settings.
  • Service providers: Apple (sign-in, payments and DeviceCheck), Tencent Cloud (computing and storage in mainland China) and Google Firebase (anonymous analytics and crash reports).
