Files selected for the scan

When you select a folder, code running in your browser locally reads file names, relative paths, file types and sizes. It also analyzes the contents of JSON files and, within the stated limits, the binary contents of media that may be exact duplicates.

These files may contain personal data, including dates, descriptions or geographical coordinates. PhotosClaires does not upload them to its server or store them in a remote database. The report does not include the full contents of any JSON file.

At the end of the scan, the file-selection field is cleared. Local references, relative paths and details required for the plan nevertheless remain temporarily in memory so that you can create the organized copy without selecting the export again. They are replaced by a new scan and disappear when the page is reloaded or closed.

Local copy and downloaded files

The organized copy starts only after you click the relevant button and explicitly choose a destination folder. Your browser then writes to a new session subfolder. PhotosClaires receives neither the absolute path on your disk nor the copied media.

Files are copied without changing their bytes. The CSV manifest deliberately includes relative source and destination paths so that you can check the operation; it remains in the locally created folder or is downloaded to your device at your request.

The report is created in your browser and downloaded to your device at your request. It contains totals, the scan duration and technical warnings, but no photo, video, JSON content or file name. You then control how long it is kept and when it is deleted.

Website technical data

The hosting provider and its infrastructure providers may process data required to deliver and secure the website: IP address, request date and time, browser information, technical logs and security signals. This processing supports operation of the service, abuse prevention and service protection.

The PhotosClaires application currently adds no advertising network, audience analytics tool or marketing tracker. This does not exclude technical or traffic measurements that the hosting provider may perform at infrastructure level to operate, secure and improve the service.

The hosting infrastructure may use cookies or similar mechanisms that are strictly necessary for the website's security and availability. PhotosClaires does not use them to personalize advertising.

OpenAI Ireland Limited acts as the hosting service provider. Its technical subprocessors may operate outside the European Economic Area subject to the safeguards described in OpenAI's contractual documentation. See the OpenAI Privacy Policy and the Sites Data Processing Addendum.

Retention periods, rights and complaints

PhotosClaires sets no remote retention period for selected files because they are not sent anywhere. Any technical logs are retained by the hosting provider for the periods required for security, operation and its legal obligations.

You may request access, rectification, erasure, restriction or objection, where these rights apply, by writing to greg2ajaccio@gmail.com. Reasonable proof of identity may be requested.

You may also lodge a complaint with the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL), the French data protection authority.

Support emails and beta feedback

The feedback button opens your email application with a template that you can edit or discard. No email, scan result or file is sent automatically.

If you choose to send a message, it may contain your email address, operating system and browser, an approximate file-count range, whether the scan or copy completed, a clarity score and your comments. This information is used to reply where necessary, understand difficulties and improve the beta, based on the publisher's legitimate interest in supporting the service and maintaining its quality.

The message is received by Gregory Blin and processed in a Gmail inbox provided by Google. Beta feedback is kept for no more than 12 months, then deleted or anonymised. A conversation required to handle a specific request may be retained for longer to follow it up or comply with a legal obligation.

Never send photos, videos, JSON files, file paths or screenshots containing file names. You may request access, rectification or erasure, or object to the use of your feedback, by writing to greg2ajaccio@gmail.com.
