Privacy & your data

Component Detective is free and does not require an account.

What happens to your photos

Photos and documents you submit are resized on your device and sent to our analysis service, which passes them to a third-party AI provider (Google Gemini, via the Lovable AI gateway) to produce the report. We do not store your images on a server, and they are not used to build a profile of you.

Do not upload photographs containing personal data, faces, confidential drawings or information you are not permitted to share with a third-party AI service.
