Privacy Policy

Last Updated: February 5, 2024

At merakesh.com, operated by Akigo AI, we're committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience when using our developer tools. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection, use, and disclosure when you visit our website or use our tools.

Client-Side vs. Server-Side Processing

Free Tools: Most of our free developer tools process all data directly in your browser. Your files and content never leave your device, and we do not store or transmit your data to our servers.

Premium AI Tools: For premium features such as AI-powered background removal, watermark removal, and audio transcription, your files (including images, audio, or documents) may be securely uploaded to our servers for processing. We only retain your files for the duration necessary to complete the requested operation, after which they are automatically deleted. We do not use your files for any purpose other than providing the requested service.

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data during upload, processing, and deletion. We do not share, sell, or use your files for training AI models or any other secondary purpose.

• Account Information: If you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password (securely hashed).
• Uploaded Files (Premium Tools): When you use premium AI features, we temporarily store your uploaded files for processing. These files are deleted automatically after processing is complete.
