Privacy Policy

Last updated

Five Meters provides underwater image and video restoration. We believe in complete transparency and respect your right to privacy. This policy explains how we handle your media files and data.

1. How We Process Your Images

How processing works depends on whether you use a native mobile app or the web editor:

  • Native apps (iOS and Android): The mobile apps are fully offline. Colour analysis runs entirely on your device using models and inference runtimes bundled inside each app (Core ML on iOS and standalone LiteRT on Android). The apps do not upload photos, working proxies, adjustments, or diagnostics.
  • Web editor: The browser calculates numerical colour and spatial measurements on your device and sends only these measurements to a Cloudflare Worker to calculate colour correction parameters. Photos and analysis thumbnails stay on your device. We do not store these measurements or keep a media library of your photos.
  • No high-resolution uploads: On every platform, restoration is applied to your original high-resolution file on your device. The original is not uploaded for colour analysis.
  • Export Metadata: By default, exported JPEGs strip private source metadata such as GPS, camera serials, and embedded thumbnails. Only colour-profile data needed for accurate colour and Five Meters branding fields are retained.

2. Saving Your Work Locally

Web edits stay in the current tab. Where supported, we save references to your original files and editing data in browser storage to recover after a reload, while access to those originals remains available. We do not save copies of your original or edited images. Otherwise, reloading starts a fresh editor. Native apps keep workspace files in private app storage on your device.

3. Native App Privacy

The iOS and Android apps contain no advertising SDK, analytics SDK, crash-reporting SDK, account system, or tracking technology. They do not request network access for editing or export. Opening a link such as this privacy policy hands that link to your chosen browser.

4. Website Hosting and Access

Our host, Cloudflare, collects standard server request logs to deliver the website safely. Web colour correction parameters are calculated within Cloudflare from numerical image measurements. We do not use third-party advertising tracking tools. We store a single preference cookie so we can remember your language choice.

5. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect improvements to the project. Any updates will be posted directly to this page.
