Privacy Policy

Effective: March 1, 2026

1. Overview

Find Nuclei Viewer is designed with privacy first. No account is required, no personal information is collected, and your image data never leaves your browser.

2. Analytics We Collect

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics service hosted in the EU. Plausible does not use cookies and does not collect personal data.

Plausible collects:

  • Page views (which pages are visited)
  • Referrer (how you found us)
  • Browser and operating system type
  • Country (derived from anonymized IP; IP is not stored)
  • Screen size category (mobile/tablet/desktop)

Plausible does not collect:

  • IP addresses
  • Personal identifiers
  • Cross-site tracking data
  • Any information about the images you view

3. Data Stored in Your Browser

The viewer stores data locally in your browser to provide a smooth experience. This data never leaves your device.

Storage What Purpose
IndexedDB Image metadata, thumbnails, viewer settings, annotations Remember recently opened images and restore your last view
localStorage UI preferences (e.g., welcome modal dismissed, storage notice) Remember small UI choices across sessions
File System Access API Directory handle references (Chrome/Edge only) Re-open local ZARR folders without re-selecting them

4. Your Image Data

Your microscopy data is processed entirely in your browser using WebGPU/WebGL. Image files are never uploaded to any server. When loading from a URL, your browser fetches data directly from that URL — Find Nuclei does not proxy or store any of it.

5. Cookies

We do not use cookies. Plausible Analytics is cookieless by design. No third-party cookies are set by this site.

6. Third-Party Services

The only third-party service we use is:

  • Plausible Analytics — privacy-friendly, GDPR-compliant web analytics hosted in the EU. No personal data is collected or shared. Learn more about Plausible's privacy practices.

7. Your Rights

Since all viewer data is stored locally in your browser, you have full control:

  • Delete all data: Use the "Clear All Data" button on the landing page, or clear your browser's site data for this domain
  • Opt out of analytics: Use a browser extension like uBlock Origin or Plausible's exclusion guide
  • Export your data: Annotations and settings can be exported from the viewer interface

8. Children

Find Nuclei Viewer is a scientific tool not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
