Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

The Short Version

Your photos are stored on your device. To make them searchable, a compressed copy is temporarily sent to our secure server for AI analysis, then immediately discarded. We never store your photos. We don't sell your data. We don't use it for ads.

AI analysis is powered by Google Cloud Vision, Anthropic Claude, and Google Cloud Translation. Under their API terms, your images are processed in memory, not persisted to disk, and never used to train AI models.

This policy explains what data we collect, why, and your rights under GDPR and Danish law.

Who We Are

Screaming Donkey Studio is the data controller for the personal data processed through Kluegr.

What We Collect

Images You Capture or Import

What: Photos, screenshots, scanned documents, and imported files you save in Kluegr.

Where they go: A compressed copy is temporarily sent to our secure backend for AI analysis using Google Cloud Vision and Anthropic Claude. The image is processed and immediately discarded — we never store your photos on our servers.

Storage: Your original images are stored locally on your device only (and optionally in your personal iCloud for Pro users)

AI processing: Google Cloud Vision handles text extraction, brand detection, and colour analysis. Anthropic's Claude provides semantic understanding, descriptions, tags, and search embeddings. Google Cloud Translation enables multilingual search. Under their API terms, images are processed in memory and not persisted to disk. Neither Google nor Anthropic use your images to train AI models, store them, or share them with any third party.

In-app consent: The app asks for your explicit consent before any image is sent for AI analysis. You can review this disclosure anytime in Settings > Help & FAQ.

AI-Generated Metadata

What: Tags, descriptions, categories, OCR text, and receipt data extracted by AI

Where it's stored: Locally on your device (and iCloud for Pro users)

Why: To make your items searchable and organized

Your control: Delete any item to remove all associated metadata

Device Identifier

What: A random, anonymous identifier generated on your device

Why: To enforce usage limits and prevent abuse

What it's NOT: Not your Apple ID, not your name, not personally identifiable

Your control: Deleting and reinstalling the app generates a new identifier

Usage Analytics

What: Anonymous usage patterns (which features you use) and anonymous search query patterns (search terms and result counts) to improve search quality

Why: To improve AI accuracy, search relevance, and app usability

How: Tied to a pseudonymous device identifier — never linked to your identity, photos, or personal information

What we DON'T do: We never sell, share, or monetize this data. We never track image content, tag values, OCR text, or personal details

Third-Party Processing

Google Cloud

To analyse your images, a compressed copy is temporarily sent to our server, which forwards it to Google Cloud Vision API for structured analysis. The image is then immediately discarded.

  • Google Cloud Vision: Extracts text (OCR), detects brands/logos, identifies colours and landmarks. Images are processed in memory and not persisted to disk.
  • Google Cloud Translation: Translates tags and search queries to enable multilingual search. Text is processed and not retained.
  • Data retention: Google does not store your images or text. Google does not use your content to train AI models. Google does not share your content with any third party.
  • Your consent: The app requires your explicit consent before any data is sent for AI processing.

See Google Cloud's Privacy Notice and Vision API Data Usage FAQ

Anthropic (AI Processing)

Your images are also forwarded to Anthropic's Claude for deep semantic analysis, and text descriptions are sent for search embedding generation. The image is processed and immediately discarded.

  • Claude: Provides semantic understanding, descriptions, tags, and receipt data extraction from your images.
  • Text Embeddings: Converts text descriptions and search queries into numerical vectors for semantic search.
  • Data retention: Under Anthropic's API usage policy, data submitted via the API is not used to train models and is not retained after processing.
  • Zero data retention: Anthropic does not store your images, does not use your content for model training, and does not share your content with any third party.

See Anthropic's Privacy Policy

Apple Services

  • App Store: For app distribution and in-app purchases
  • iCloud: For syncing your library across devices (Pro users, optional)
  • CloudKit: For secure data synchronization
  • StoreKit: For subscription management

Legal Basis (GDPR)

We process your data based on:

  • Contract performance: Processing images to provide the AI analysis service you requested
  • Legitimate interest: Anonymous analytics to improve AI accuracy and app quality
  • Consent: Optional features like iCloud sync and reminders (you can disable anytime)

Data Retention

AI-processed data

Not retained on our servers after processing

Tags & metadata

Stored locally until you delete items

Documents & receipts

Stored locally until you delete them

Device identifier

Until app is deleted

Usage analytics

Your Rights

Under GDPR and Danish law, you have the right to:

  • Access: Request a copy of your data (though we store very little server-side)
  • Rectification: Correct any inaccurate data
  • Erasure: Delete your data (delete the app to remove all local data)
  • Portability: Export your data in a portable format
  • Object: Object to processing based on legitimate interest
  • Withdraw consent: Disable optional features like iCloud sync

To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below.

Security

We take security seriously:

  • All API communication is encrypted (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Requests are authenticated with secure tokens
  • No API keys or secrets are stored in the app
  • Rate limiting prevents abuse
  • Images are processed in transit and never stored on our servers
  • Local data uses Apple's built-in device encryption
