  • Device type

  • Operating system

Uploaded Images and AI Processing

When you use an online image tool, the files you upload and the settings or prompts you provide must be processed to produce the requested result.

Depending on the feature, this processing may occur on our infrastructure or through a service provider acting on our behalf.

We may process:

Sensitive images

Do not upload images containing confidential records, financial information, passwords, government identification numbers, medical records, or other sensitive personal information unless the feature clearly states that such use is supported.

You are responsible for having the necessary rights and permission to upload and process an image.

Image retention

Uploaded images and generated outputs should be kept only for the period needed to provide the requested service, maintain any history or storage feature you choose to use, prevent abuse, and meet legitimate legal or operational needs.

If an account includes saved history or cloud storage, files may remain available until you delete them, close the account, or the applicable storage period ends.

Deleted files may remain temporarily in backups or security logs before being removed through normal retention cycles.

We may use information to:

  • Provide image upscaling and related features

  • Process uploads and generate requested outputs

  • Create and manage user accounts

  • Provide customer support

Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to show, limit, personalize, and measure advertisements. Information may include your IP address, browser details, advertising identifiers, pages visited, and interactions with advertisements.

Google may use information received from websites that use its services to provide and improve advertising, measure performance, and detect fraud or abuse.

You can learn more through:

Disabling personalized advertising does not necessarily remove all advertisements. You may still see advertisements based on factors such as the page’s subject or your general location.

With your direction

We may share information when you ask us to or give permission.

Sale or Sharing of Personal Information

We do not sell personal information for money.

Some US privacy laws may define certain targeted advertising activities as “selling” or “sharing” information even when no money is exchanged. Where applicable, you may request to opt out of those activities by contacting us at upscaylai@gmail.com or using an available privacy-choice control.

  • Maintain security

  • Prevent fraud and abuse

Retention periods can vary by data type and feature.

When information is no longer required, we may delete, anonymize, or securely isolate it. Information may remain temporarily in backups until those backups are replaced through normal cycles.

Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information.

These safeguards may include:

  • Encrypted connections

  • Access controls

  • Secure hosting

You will not receive discriminatory treatment for making a privacy request where prohibited by law.

US State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain US states may have additional rights under applicable privacy laws.

Children’s Privacy

Upscayl AI is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has submitted personal information, contact us at upscaylai@gmail.com so we can review and address the situation.

Parents and guardians should supervise children’s internet use and image uploads.

The website may link to third-party websites, software, repositories, downloads, or services.

We do not control the privacy practices of independent third parties. Their privacy policies apply when you visit or use their services.

Review a third party’s privacy terms before submitting personal information or uploading images.

International Processing

Upscayl AI and its service providers may process information in the United States or other locations where they operate.

Privacy and data-protection rules may differ between locations. Where required, appropriate measures should be used for protected international transfers.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” setting. Because there is no single industry-standard response to every Do Not Track signal, the website may not respond uniformly to it.

Where legally required, we will process recognized opt-out preference signals such as Global Privacy Control.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, technology, advertising arrangements, or legal obligations change.

The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. If a change materially affects how personal information is handled, we may provide additional notice where appropriate.
