Privacy
Short version: you don't need an account, we don't keep your photos, and we don't sell anything about you.
Your photos
When you identify a rock, your photo is resized on your device and sent to our server, which forwards it to Google's Gemini API to be identified. We don't save the photo or the result. Nothing is stored in a database, and there's no history linked to you.
Google processes the photo under its Gemini API terms. RockFinder currently uses Google's free service tier, and under those terms Google may use content sent to it to improve its products. Please don't upload photos that show people, documents or anything private. Just the rock.
Location and other data
RockFinder doesn't ask for your location. If your phone adds location data to a photo, it's removed when the photo is resized on your device before upload.
Accounts and cookies
There are no accounts. RockFinder doesn't currently set any cookies or use analytics. If we add website analytics to understand how many people use the site, we'll update this page first and explain what's collected.
Hosting
The site is hosted by Cloudflare, which, like any web host, processes basic technical information such as your IP address to deliver the page and protect it from abuse.
Changes
If anything here changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
