When you use PixFix, we collect and process the following information:

  • Images: Photos you upload for restoration processing
  • Technical Data: IP address (hashed for privacy), upload timestamps, and processing status
  • Usage Data: Information about how you interact with our service

How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely for:

  • Processing your photos through our AI restoration service
  • Rate limiting to prevent abuse (5 photos per IP per 24 hours)
  • Providing you with restoration results and download capabilities
  • Maintaining service security and performance

Data Processing and Storage

🔒 Privacy-First Approach

  • • Your original photos are automatically deleted within 24 hours
  • • Restored images are hosted by our AI service provider (Replicate)
  • • We store only metadata, not the actual image files
  • • IP addresses are cryptographically hashed for privacy

Third-Party Services

We use Replicate for AI processing. Your uploaded images are sent to Replicate's GFPGAN service for restoration. Please review Replicate's Privacy Policy for information about their data handling practices.

Data Retention

We maintain the following retention schedule:

  • Original uploaded images: Deleted automatically after 24 hours
  • Processing metadata: Deleted 30 days after download
  • Failed processing records: Deleted after 24 hours
  • Rate limiting data: Rolling 24-hour window

Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access information about your processed images
  • Request deletion of your data (though most is auto-deleted)

  • HTTPS encryption for all data transmission
  • Secure file upload and storage practices
  • Regular automated cleanup of temporary files
