What we collect
- Photos you upload to the bug identifier are sent to our identification service to get a result, then discarded. We do not store them.
- Standard server logs (IP address, request time, user agent) for security and rate-limiting.
- Anonymous analytics (Vercel Analytics) — page views, country, device type. We do not build a profile of you.
