Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 1, 2026

Overview

Monochrome respects your privacy. We designed the application to process your photographs with the minimum amount of data collection necessary.

Photos

When you upload a photograph, it is used solely to generate the monochrome version you requested.

We do not claim ownership of your images.

We do not use your photographs to train AI models.

We do not sell, share, or license your images.

If processing occurs locally, your images never leave your device.

If you enable Anthropic Vision processing, your image is sent only to Anthropic using the API credentials you provide.

Anthropic Vision (Optional)

Monochrome includes an optional integration with Anthropic's Vision API.

This feature is disabled by default and is only used if you choose to enable it.

When enabled:

  • Images are transmitted directly to Anthropic for analysis and processing.
  • Processing is performed using your own Anthropic API key.
  • Monochrome does not use its own API credentials on your behalf.
  • Your use of Anthropic's services is governed by Anthropic's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

API Keys

Some optional features require you to provide your own Anthropic API key.

Your API key is used solely to authenticate requests to Anthropic on your behalf.

Monochrome does not collect, sell, or share your API key.

Where possible, your API key is stored only on your device and is never used for any purpose other than completing the operation you requested.

Cloud Storage (Optional)

Monochrome allows you to optionally upload processed images to your own S3-compatible storage.

When enabled:

  • Uploads occur only when you explicitly request them.
  • You provide and control the storage credentials.
  • Monochrome uploads images only to the bucket you configure.
  • Monochrome does not browse, modify, or delete files in your storage.
  • You retain full ownership of all uploaded images.

Usage Data

We may collect limited anonymous information to help improve the application, including:

  • Browser type
  • Device type
  • Operating system
  • Country or region
  • Error reports
  • Basic usage analytics

This information does not include your photographs or API credentials.

Cookies

Monochrome may use essential cookies required for the application to function correctly.

If analytics are enabled, additional cookies may be used to understand general usage patterns. These cookies never contain your uploaded images or API credentials.

Third-Party Services

If you choose to enable Anthropic Vision or upload images to your own cloud storage, your data may be processed by those services according to their respective privacy policies.

Monochrome does not control or assume responsibility for how third-party services process or retain your data once it has been transmitted at your request.

Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data during transmission and processing.

While no online service can guarantee absolute security, we continuously work to safeguard your information.

Children's Privacy

Monochrome is not intended for children under the age required by applicable law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

Any changes will be published on this page along with the updated revision date.
