Privacy Policy
Last updated: January 2025
1. Introduction
RepCheck ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our website and authentication service at repcheck.com (the "Service").
2. Information We Collect
Images: When you upload a photo for authentication, we process the image in real-time using AI analysis. We do not store uploaded images. Images are processed in memory and discarded immediately after generating your authentication report.
Usage Data: We track basic, anonymised usage metrics such as the number of authentications performed, product categories used, and page views. This data does not identify individual users.
Local Storage: Your tier selection and monthly usage count are stored locally on your device using browser localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
Contact Information: If you contact us via our contact form or email, we collect the information you provide (name, email, message content) solely to respond to your enquiry.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and improve our authentication service
- Respond to your enquiries and support requests
- Analyse usage patterns to improve the Service (anonymised data only)
- Ensure the security and integrity of the Service
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties. We may share anonymised, aggregated data for analytics purposes. We will disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights.
5. Data Security
All data transmitted between your device and our servers is encrypted using 256-bit TLS encryption. Our infrastructure is hosted on secure, enterprise-grade cloud platforms with industry-standard security measures.
6. Cookies
RepCheck uses minimal cookies necessary for the functioning of the website. We use localStorage (not cookies) to store your local usage data. We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics cookies unless you have opted in to third-party advertising.
7. Third-Party Services
Our Service uses third-party AI models for image analysis. Images sent for analysis are processed under the third-party's data processing terms and are not retained. We use Vercel for hosting, which may collect standard server logs (IP addresses, timestamps).
8. Your Rights (GDPR / UK GDPR)
If you are located in the EU or UK, you have the right to:
- Access any personal data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of your personal data
- Object to or restrict processing of your data
- Data portability
- Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
Since we do not store images or create user accounts, the personal data we may hold is limited to contact form submissions. To exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@repcheck.com.
9. Children's Privacy
Our Service is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
