Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 24, 2026

1. Introduction

Decoded AI ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our AI-powered document scanning and analysis service ("Service"). Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Google Account Information

When you sign in to Decoded AI using your Google account, we receive and store the following information from Google:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Your Google profile picture (if available)
  • Your unique Google account identifier

2.2 Uploaded Documents

When you use Decoded AI to analyze documents, you may upload images, PDFs, or other files containing personal or sensitive information. We process these documents to provide our analysis service.

2.3 Usage Data

We may automatically collect certain information about your interaction with the Service, including your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and the dates and times of your visits.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • AI Document Processing: Your uploaded documents are sent to our AI processing pipeline to generate summaries, extract key information, and provide analysis.
  • Account Management: Your Google account information is used to create and manage your Decoded AI account.
  • Service Improvement: Usage data helps us understand how the Service is used and allows us to improve functionality and user experience.
  • Communication: We may use your email address to send you important service updates or respond to your inquiries.

4. Document Data Retention

Decoded AI is designed with privacy in mind. Uploaded documents are not stored permanently. Documents are processed in real time to generate your analysis results. Once processing is complete, the original uploaded files are deleted from our servers. We retain the AI-generated summaries and extracted data associated with your account so you can access your scan history, but the original document files are not kept.

5. Third-Party Services

5.1 Google Gemini AI

Decoded AI uses Google Gemini AI to process and analyze your uploaded documents. When you submit a document for analysis, its contents are sent to Google Gemini's API for processing. Google's use of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. We recommend reviewing Google's privacy practices for more information on how they handle data processed through their AI services.

5.2 Google Authentication

We use Google OAuth for authentication. When you sign in, Google shares limited profile information with us as described in Section 2.1. We do not receive or store your Google password.

5.3 Hosting and Infrastructure

Decoded AI is hosted on Vercel. Your data may be processed and stored on servers operated by our hosting and infrastructure providers. These providers maintain their own privacy and security practices.

6. Cookies and Tracking

Decoded AI uses essential cookies to manage your authentication session and maintain your logged-in state. These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function and cannot be disabled. We do not currently use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies. If this changes in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and notify you accordingly.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • Access: You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correction: You may request that we correct any inaccurate personal information.
  • Deletion: You may request that we delete your account and associated personal information.
  • Portability: You may request a portable copy of your data in a commonly-used format.
