This privacy policy explains how NHSPID (NH Spider Identifier) handles your data. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

• Image metadata (file size, format). We do not store images.
• Identification results (species predictions and confidence scores)
• Processing time for each identification request
• Model version used for identification
• Success/failure status of identification attempts
• Anonymous request IDs for tracking purposes

• Process your uploaded images for spider identification
• Generate anonymous usage statistics (species identification frequency)
• Monitor service performance and identify technical issues
• Track model accuracy and processing times
• Improve the identification service

Your uploaded images are never stored. They are sent directly to our machine learning model for processing and then immediately discarded. Only anonymous metadata about the identification process is stored in our database for service improvement purposes.

No data is shared with third parties for marketing or advertising.

Anonymous identification metadata is retained indefinitely for service improvement and analytics. This includes species identification counts, processing times, and success rates. No personal data is retained as none is collected.

• You can stop using the service at any time
• You can contact us with privacy concerns or questions
• You can request information about our data practices
• Since no personal data is collected, traditional data deletion rights don't apply

This privacy policy may be updated to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Users can check this privacy page for significant changes. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

For privacy-related questions or concerns, please contact us through our developer's website. We are committed to addressing privacy inquiries promptly and transparently.
