Privacy Policy

Reverse Image Search Anywhere is built to be private by default. This page explains exactly what the extension does and does not do with your data.

The short version

  • Normal reverse searches happen by opening a search engine with your image's URL. Those requests go straight from your browser to the engine — they never touch our servers.
  • We do not track your browsing, build a profile, or sell any data.
  • The only time an image reaches our servers is when you start a search that has no URL to hand to an engine: “All engines (upload — Instagram/Pinterest)” on a site that hides the image URL, a pasted image, a captured region, or a cropped face. Those uploads auto-delete within about an hour.
  • We show no ads and use no third-party trackers or analytics in the extension.

What the extension accesses

To reverse-search an image we need to read the specific image you right-click, paste, or capture, and (for region capture) to draw a selection box on the current page. We only act on the image you explicitly choose — never in the background and never on pages you don't interact with.

Upload-search (opt-in, per image)

Some sites (for example Instagram or Pinterest) don't expose a usable image URL, and a pasted image, a captured region, or a cropped face has no URL at all. In those cases — and only when you start the search — the extension uploads that single image to our storage (Amazon S3) to create a temporary link that search engines can read. We store the image only as long as needed to complete the search and delete it automatically within approximately one hour. We never use uploaded images to train models, and we never share or sell them.

Settings

Your engine preferences are stored in your browser's synced extension storage. They stay in your browser account; we don't receive them.

Third-party search engines

When you run a search, the destination engine (Google, Yandex, Microsoft Bing, or TinEye) receives the image or its URL and is governed by its own privacy policy.

Your rights & contact

Because uploaded images auto-expire within an hour and we hold no account data for the free product, there is normally nothing to request deletion of. For any privacy question, contact support@reverseimage.app.
