Privacy Policy

DetectEverything Application

Last Updated: January 2026

Effective Date: January 2026

Introduction

AlertCat ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the DetectEverything application ("App") collects, uses, and protects your information.

Our Core Principle: Privacy by Design

The DetectEverything App is designed with privacy as a fundamental principle. All image processing occurs entirely on your device—we never upload, transmit, or store your photos or camera feed.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information NOT Collected

We want to be clear about what we do NOT collect:

Images or Photos: All camera images are processed locally on your device and are never transmitted to our servers
Biometric Data: We do not collect facial recognition or other biometric data
Location Data: We do not access or collect GPS or location information
Personal Identifiers: We do not collect names, email addresses, or phone numbers through the App
Browsing History: We do not track your browsing activity

1.2 Information Processed Locally

The following data is processed entirely on your device and never leaves it:

Camera feed for real-time object detection
Captured images for analysis
Detection results (object labels, confidence scores, bounding boxes)

1.3 Blockchain Data (User-Initiated Only)

When you choose to use the "On-Chain" feature, the following data is recorded on the public Solana blockchain:

Data Type	Description	Storage
Detection Metadata	Object class, confidence score, bounding box coordinates	Solana Blockchain (Public)
Wallet Address	Your Solana wallet public address	Solana Blockchain (Public)
Transaction Signature	Unique transaction identifier	Solana Blockchain (Public)
Timestamp	Block time of the transaction	Solana Blockchain (Public)

Important: Blockchain transactions are:

Publicly visible to anyone
Permanent and cannot be deleted
Initiated only by your explicit action (tapping "On-Chain" button)
Signed by you through your wallet app

1.4 Device Permissions

The App requires the following permissions:

Permission	Purpose	Data Handling
Camera	Real-time object detection	Processed locally only
Internet	Blockchain transactions & RPC calls	Only for Solana network communication

2. How We Use Information

2.1 On-Device Processing

Perform real-time object detection using the YOLO26 AI model
Display detection results on your screen
Prepare detection metadata for optional blockchain recording

2.2 Blockchain Recording (Optional)

When you initiate an on-chain transaction:

Connect to Solana RPC to obtain network information
Submit your signed transaction to the Solana network
Save transaction records locally on your device for your reference

3. Data Storage and Security

3.1 Local Storage

Detection history may be stored locally on your device
Transaction records are saved in your device's app storage
You can clear this data by uninstalling the App or clearing app data

3.2 No Cloud Storage

We do not operate servers that store your personal data. The App communicates only with:

Solana blockchain RPC endpoints (for transactions)
Your chosen wallet app (via Mobile Wallet Adapter protocol)

3.3 Security Measures

All blockchain communications use HTTPS encryption
Private keys are never accessed by the App (handled by your wallet)
No analytics or tracking SDKs are included in the App

4. Third-Party Services

4.1 Solana Blockchain

When using the on-chain feature, your transaction is processed by the Solana network. Please review Solana's Privacy Policy.

4.2 Mobile Wallet Adapter

The App uses the Solana Mobile Wallet Adapter protocol to communicate with wallet apps (such as Phantom, Solflare, or Seed Vault). Your wallet app's privacy policy governs how it handles your data.

4.3 RPC Providers

The App connects to Solana RPC endpoints to submit transactions. Default endpoint: api.mainnet-beta.solana.com

5. Your Rights and Choices

5.1 Control Over Data

You have full control over your data:

Camera Access: You can revoke camera permission at any time through device settings
On-Chain Recording: This feature is entirely optional and requires your explicit action
Local Data: You can delete all local data by uninstalling the App

5.2 Blockchain Data

Due to the immutable nature of blockchain technology:

Data recorded on the Solana blockchain cannot be modified or deleted
Consider this before initiating any on-chain transaction

5.3 Opt-Out

You can use the App for object detection without ever using the blockchain features.

6. Children's Privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

7. International Users

The App is available globally. By using the App, you acknowledge that blockchain data is stored on a decentralized network accessible worldwide.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by:

Updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
Providing notice through the App (for significant changes)

Your continued use of the App after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
