Photo Data Handling
Your privacy is our priority. Here's exactly how your dental photos are processed:
- Ephemeral processing: Photos are processed in real-time and are not permanently stored on DentScan servers
- AI partner transmission: Images are securely transmitted to Anthropic (our AI provider) via encrypted connection (TLS 1.3) for analysis
- Anthropic's data handling: Anthropic processes images under their enterprise privacy standards and does not use your data to train AI models when accessed via API
- No third-party sharing: Your images are not shared with advertisers, data brokers, or any other third parties
- Local thumbnails only: Premium users' scan history stores small thumbnails locally in your browser (localStorage), not on our servers
Transparency note: While we do not store your photos on our servers, the image data does pass through Anthropic's systems for AI analysis. We recommend reviewing Anthropic's Privacy Policy for complete information on their data practices.
