PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: January 2025
Overview
Sploot is a personal meme library that lets you save, organize, and search your images using AI-powered semantic search. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.
What We Collect
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your email address and authentication credentials through our authentication provider, Clerk. This is used solely for account access and security.
Images You Upload
Images you save to Sploot are stored in your private library. We process these images to generate AI embeddings for semantic search. Your images are:
- Stored securely on Vercel Blob storage
- Only accessible to you when authenticated
- Never shared with third parties
- Never used for AI training
Search Queries
Your search queries are processed to generate text embeddings for matching against your images. We do not store or log your search queries.
Chrome Extension
The Sploot Chrome extension allows you to save images from any website. The extension:
- Only activates when you right-click an image and select "Save to Sploot"
- Does not track your browsing history
- Does not collect any data from websites you visit
- Only sends the image you explicitly choose to save to your Sploot library
Extension Permissions
