# FitCheck Privacy Policy
**Effective Date: September 5, 2025**
## Your Privacy is Our Priority
FitCheck is designed to be privacy-first. Your photos never leave your device, and we don't collect, store, or have access to any of your personal images.
## 1. Information We Collect
### User Photos
When you upload a photo to use FitCheck's virtual try-on feature:
- The photo is stored **locally** in your browser's storage (using Chrome's storage API)
- The photo **never** leaves your device or browser
- We have **no access** to your photos
- No servers or databases store your images
### Product Images
When you hover over products on supported shopping websites:
- The extension extracts the product image URL from the shopping website
- This product image URL is sent to Google's Gemini API for processing
- The processing combines the product with your locally stored photo to generate a try-on visualization
