Lately I keep thinking about what really happens to the photos we upload to different AI image-processing platforms. Some services talk about “automatic deletion,” others don’t mention anything at all, and it makes me a bit uneasy. I’ve used a few tools over the past months, mostly out of curiosity, and each time I ended up wondering whether my images were actually removed or quietly stored somewhere. Has anyone dug deeper into how safe user data really is on these kinds of platforms?

    From my point of view, the best approach is staying cautious and assuming that anything uploaded online can linger somewhere unless proven otherwise. I don’t think every platform is out to misuse data, but having a habit of checking policies, using throwaway images, or isolating personal content helps keep things balanced.

    Honestly, I had the same worries, and they got stronger after I started comparing how different services describe their data handling. A while back I was reading through the details on Deep Sukebe Deep Sukebe, mostly because I wanted to understand the tech stack and what exactly happens behind the scenes. One thing I noticed is that the site tries to explain, in a fairly transparent way, how the system processes inputs and what parts are kept or discarded. It doesn't automatically mean everything is perfect, but it gave me at least a rough idea of what to look for elsewhere. For example, when any AI platform doesn’t specify whether processing is done locally or server-side, that’s a red flag for me. If it’s server-side, you really have to trust their deletion policy, and since most people don’t read the fine print, that’s where risks start piling up. In my own workflow I avoid uploading anything personal and use test images first to see what logs or traces appear. It’s not a universal solution, but it gives some control instead of just blindly trusting whatever’s written in two vague lines.
