Uploaded content
Files and extracted text may be processed as needed to provide OCR results, manage exports, prevent abuse, monitor system health, and troubleshoot service issues.
Privacy policy
How privacy is handled on copytextfromimage.org
This page explains the kinds of information that may be processed when you use the site, why that information may be needed, and how privacy is approached in day-to-day operation.
Technical data
The site may record standard technical request data such as IP address, browser details, referral information, timestamps, and similar operational metadata.
Contact messages
If you email the site, the information you provide in that message may be used to answer your request, resolve a bug, or follow up on support and business questions.
1. Information that may be handled
When you use the OCR service, the site may handle uploaded files, extracted text output, file names, file types, timestamps, request metadata, and system-level diagnostic information associated with processing a task.
If you contact the site directly, your email address and the contents of your message may also be handled as part of support and communication.
2. Why that information may be used
- To run OCR and return the requested output.
- To support copy, preview, download, and export actions.
- To monitor uptime, reliability, and service performance.
- To investigate failed jobs, abuse, fraud, or suspicious traffic.
- To respond to user support requests and operational questions.
- To comply with legal obligations when required.
3. Retention and deletion
The service is intended to support task-based OCR rather than long-term user storage. Even so, some information may exist temporarily in active processing systems, caching layers, logs, backups, or abuse-prevention systems for operational reasons.
Actual retention periods can vary depending on infrastructure configuration, troubleshooting needs, hosting controls, backup cycles, and security or legal requirements.
If you need a stricter retention policy for a production deployment, that policy should be reviewed against the exact storage, OCR, cache, queue, and backup services in use.
4. Sharing and third-party services
The site may rely on hosting, infrastructure, file handling, OCR, analytics, logging, security, or email-related service providers in order to operate. Where third-party services are involved, information may be processed by those providers strictly as part of running the service.
The site does not present this page as a promise that no third-party processing ever occurs. Instead, the goal is to keep data use tied to service operation, reliability, and support rather than unrelated commercial resale.
5. Cookies, logs, and similar technologies
The site may use standard browser storage, request logs, and comparable technical mechanisms to keep the service working correctly, remember interface preferences, reduce abuse, and measure operational performance.
6. Security
Reasonable technical and organizational steps may be used to protect data in transit, control access, monitor abnormal activity, and limit unauthorized use. No internet-based system can promise absolute security, so users should avoid uploading content that they would not want processed online unless the deployment has been reviewed for that sensitivity level.
7. International access
Because the site can be accessed from multiple countries, information may be processed in jurisdictions different from the visitor's own location. By using the service, users understand that cross-border processing may occur where infrastructure or support providers operate.
8. Policy updates and contact
This privacy page may be updated as the product, infrastructure, or compliance needs evolve. The effective date shown on the page should be used as the reference point for the current version.

Use the OCR tool with the policy in mind
If you are comfortable with the workflow described above, you can return to the homepage and start an OCR task immediately.
