Privacy Policy for ImmersityLens Chrome Extension

Overview

ImmersityLens is a Chrome extension that converts 2D images into immersive 3D Leia Image Format (LIF) using artificial intelligence. This privacy policy explains how we handle data when you use our extension. Note: ImmersityLens requires an active subscription to Immersity AI for image conversion functionality.

Data Collection

The extension operates with the following privacy principles:

• Immersity AI subscription credentials are required for functionality

• No personal data collection beyond subscription authentication
• No tracking or analytics
• No data sharing with third parties (except for necessary image processing and subscription verification)

Image Processing

When you choose to convert an image to 3D:

What Happens to Your Images

• Images are processed using the Immersity AI service for 3D conversion
• Images are only sent for processing when you explicitly click the "2D3D" button
