When extracting text from financial statements, legal contracts, or identification cards, confidentiality is paramount. Users deserve complete transparency regarding how their files are transmitted, processed, and destroyed.

1. In-Memory Ephemeral Processing

Unlike services that store uploaded images in persistent disk storage, imgocrtxt processes files entirely in volatile RAM (Random Access Memory). Once text extraction completes and the payload is returned to your browser, the image buffer is instantly purged from server memory.

2. End-to-End TLS 1.3 Encryption

All client-server transmissions are protected by TLS 1.3 encryption with 256-bit AES cipher suites. This guarantees that your documents cannot be intercepted, monitored, or tampered with in transit across public Wi-Fi networks.

3. Zero Model Training on User Data

Your uploaded documents and transcribed texts are NEVER used to train, fine-tune, or reinforce public machine learning models. Your proprietary intellectual property remains strictly yours.

No automated data scrapers or third-party log sharing.
Full compliance with GDPR "Right to Erasure" and CCPA data sovereignty regulations.
Local client-side options for temporary clipboard and text clearing.

Privacy Guarantee

No human operator ever views, reviews, or indexes your uploaded image files.

4. Built-in Client Privacy Controls

You can instantly wipe active OCR workspace contents with the "Clear All" button, and download transcribed records directly to your local drive without saving anything in the cloud.

Key Takeaway

Fast, modern AI tooling should never come at the expense of user trust. We design every feature with privacy-by-default architecture so you can extract confidential documents with total peace of mind.
