2. How We Use Your Data
Uploaded images are used solely to run the CNN classification model and return a prediction result displayed on your screen. No personally identifiable information is collected, stored, or linked to your uploads. Server access logs (standard web server logs) may record your IP address and the pages visited — this is standard infrastructure behavior and is not used for identification.
3. Cookies & Sessions
This application uses a minimal session cookie to maintain your current session state (e.g., passing prediction results back to the page). This cookie contains no personal data and is cleared when you close your browser. No analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or tracking pixels are used.

All traffic is served over HTTPS. Images are processed in volatile memory and never persisted. As this is a thesis project hosted on Render's free tier, it is not intended for use with sensitive personal health data. Do not upload images containing identifiable personal information.
