๐ Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-02-07
Overview
MedLens is designed with privacy as its core principle. We do not collect, store, or share personal data. The tool operates anonymously by design.
Data Collection
- No accounts: No email, username, password, or any form of registration is required.
- No tracking: We do not use cookies, analytics, or fingerprinting technologies.
- No IP logging: IP addresses are used only for rate-limiting during your session and are not persisted.
- No personal data: We do not collect names, emails, phone numbers, or any identifying information.
Image Handling
- EXIF stripping: All metadata (GPS location, device info, timestamps) is removed from uploaded images before processing.
- In-memory processing: Images are processed entirely in server memory. They are never written to disk.
- Immediate deletion: Images are deleted from memory immediately after analysis is complete.
- No storage: Original images are never stored, cached, or backed up.
- Camera capture: When using the camera feature, photos are captured client-side and transmitted directly for analysis. They are not stored on our servers.
Report Storage
- Text-only reports: If you choose to save a report, only the text analysis is stored (never the image).
- Random identifiers: Reports are stored with random UUIDs โ not linked to any user identity.
- Automatic deletion: Reports are automatically deleted after 24 hours.
- Manual deletion: You can delete your report immediately at any time using the "Delete Now" button.
AI Processing
- Images may be sent to a third-party AI service (e.g., OpenAI) for analysis. This transmission uses encrypted HTTPS connections.
- The AI service's own data policies apply to the processing of your image. We recommend reviewing their privacy policy.
- We strip all metadata before sending images to minimize data exposure.
Content Policy
- Adults only (18+): This tool is intended for adult use only.
- CSAM prevention: Any content suspected to involve minors will be refused. The image will not be processed or stored. A minimal security event is logged without the image.
- Medical context: Sensitive images including intimate areas are permitted only in a medical context for adults.
Security
- Rate limiting is applied to prevent abuse.
- File uploads are validated for type, size, and file signature.
- MIME type and magic byte verification prevent file spoofing.
- All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption.
Limitations
- This tool is NOT a medical device.
- It does NOT provide diagnoses or medical advice.
- It should NOT be used for emergencies.
- Always consult a qualified healthcare professional.
