Privacy without the mystery

Uploaded images

Images you submit are processed for the purpose of running the visual flag search. FindMyFlag does not use uploaded images to train a general-purpose AI model. Upload handling and temporary processing may involve server memory or temporary files required to complete the search, but uploads are not intended to become a public user-photo archive.

Technical analytics and service logs

FindMyFlag records limited operational information such as search sessions, search counts or hits, response and load times, and related technical events used to understand reliability and improve performance. The service is not designed to create named user profiles from this information.

Standard web infrastructure may also process network information such as IP addresses, request headers and user-agent information for delivery, security, rate limiting and troubleshooting. Retention may vary by the technical system involved.

Recent identifications

FindMyFlag can display a short list of recent identification activity. This feature records result-level information needed for the feed, such as the selected flag title and source where available. It is not intended to identify the person who performed the search.

Google Analytics and cookies

FindMyFlag may use Google Analytics to understand website usage. Analytics storage is denied by default, and the Google Analytics tag is loaded only after you accept analytics in the consent notice. If you reject analytics, FindMyFlag search remains fully available and FindMyFlag does not intentionally send analytics events to Google Analytics.

If you accept analytics, Google Analytics may set first-party cookies such as _ga and _ga_<container-id> to distinguish users and preserve session state. Your consent choice is stored locally in your browser so FindMyFlag can remember it. You can change or withdraw that choice at any time using Cookie settings in the footer; rejecting analytics disables Analytics for subsequent activity and FindMyFlag attempts to remove its Google Analytics cookies.

Cloudflare Turnstile and abuse protection

Search submissions may be protected by Cloudflare Turnstile and rate limiting. These controls help distinguish normal use from automated abuse and protect the service from excessive traffic. Third-party protection services may process technical information according to their own privacy terms.

Third-party sources

Search results can load images from and link to third-party source websites. When your browser requests third-party content, that source may receive ordinary web-request information and applies its own privacy policy. See Sources for how FindMyFlag uses source material.
