Summary: AIShot creates no account and contains no ads or analytics. To produce an AI answer, the screen area you select (the image itself when a vision model is used) is sent to an AI provider.
Data we collect
- There is no account, sign-up or profile.
- There is no telemetry, analytics, advertising or third-party tracking.
- To enforce the free-trial quota, a one-way hash of a randomly generated installation ID, the date and a usage count are kept. Chat and screen content are not part of this record.
Data stored on your device
- Chat sessions and screenshots are kept only on your computer, in the app’s local storage; you can delete them inside the app.
- If you enter your own AI API key, it is stored encrypted with Windows DPAPI, never shown again in the interface and never sent to us.
Data sent and recipients
- Free trial: the image of the area you select, documents you attach and your messages are sent to Google Gemini through the AIShot API gateway. The gateway does not log chat text, images or raw IP addresses.
- With your own API key: requests go directly to the provider you chose (e.g. Google, OpenAI, DeepSeek). With a vision model the image itself is sent; otherwise text extracted on your device. That provider’s privacy policy applies.
- If read-aloud is on, the text to be spoken is sent to Microsoft’s Edge neural voice service.
- Text recognition (OCR) runs on your device; only language data is downloaded on first use.
Model training
The free trial uses Google Gemini’s paid tier; Google commits not to use content sent on that tier to improve its products. With your own key, your provider’s terms apply; on some providers’ free tiers, data may be used for model training.
Our recommendation
Because screenshots are sent to the cloud, we recommend not capturing screens that show sensitive or confidential information (ID, passwords, health or financial data).
Deleting your data
You can delete chats inside the app and remove your API key in Settings. Uninstalling the app removes local data. The gateway’s quota record does not identify you and resets daily.
Children
AIShot is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect data from children.
