Last updated: November 6, 2026
Your content doesn't train our models
The images, videos, text and audio you send to our API are only used to return results to you. The only exception is content you choose to send us through the Feedback API, which we use to improve our models.
Your content stays yours
Analyzing content with Sightengine doesn't give us any ownership of it: we only get the limited rights we need to provide the service.
We keep as little as possible
Your content is deleted once it has been processed, unless you ask us to keep it or the law requires us to. Technical logs are deleted automatically after a limited period.
This policy explains how Kozelo SAS, the company behind Sightengine ("Sightengine", "we", "us"), collects and uses personal data when you visit our website, use your dashboard, contact us or apply for a job, and what rights you have.
Content you or our customers send to our API is not covered by this policy. For that content, we act as a processor on behalf of our customer, under our Data Processing Addendum. If your data was sent to us by one of our customers, please contact that customer first: we will help them answer your request.
1. Who we are and how to contact us
The controller of your personal data is Kozelo SAS, 16 bis rue d'Odessa, 75014 Paris, France, registered with the Paris trade and companies register under number 510 113 509.
For any question about your personal data or to exercise your rights, write to info@sightengine.com, use our contact form, or write to the postal address above.
2. What we collect, why, and for how long
Purpose Data Legal basis How long we keep it

L123-22), including after your account is deleted

Complying with the law and defending our rights Any of the data above, as needed Our legal obligations, and our legitimate interest in defending our rights For the time needed, within legal limitation periods
The data marked as required in our forms is needed to create your account, bill you or answer you. Without it, we cannot do so.
We do not sell your personal data, we do not buy personal data from third parties, and we do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects on you. Signup checks can block an account creation that looks abusive; if this happens to you, contact us and a person will review it.
3. Who receives your data
Your data is accessed only by the members of our team who need it, and by the following recipients:
Our service providers, which process data on our behalf and under our instructions: hosting (Amazon Web Services in Ireland and France, OVH, Hetzner, Scaleway, Google Cloud), email delivery (SendGrid), payments (Stripe) and audience measurement (Plausible). The full list is on our Sub-processors page.
Google, for reCAPTCHA on our forms and, with your consent, for measuring our ads. Google uses this data under its own privacy policy.
Stripe, which also uses payment data for its own legal obligations and fraud prevention, under its own privacy policy.
Authorities, when the law requires it, and our advisers (accountants, lawyers) when needed.
A buyer or successor, if all or part of our business is sold or merged. We would inform you beforehand.
4. Transfers outside the European Union
Most of our processing happens on datacenters within the European Union. Some of our providers are based outside of the EU (Google, SendGrid, Stripe) and may access or store data there. These transfers rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework when the provider is certified under it, and otherwise on the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission. You can ask us for a copy of these safeguards.

Right to know how we process your personal information
Right to access or correct personal information
Right to delete personal information ("right to be forgotten")
Right to data portability

Right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards where personal information is transferred to a third country or to an international organization
Right to withdraw consent
Right to submit complaints or report abuse

You can delete your account yourself on the Account page of your dashboard. For anything else, contact us as described in section 1. If we have a reasonable doubt about your identity, we may ask you to prove it. Some data cannot be deleted while we are legally required to keep it, such as invoices.
If you think your rights are not respected, you can file a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL, or with the authority of your country of residence.
