Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 24, 2026

SearchThisImage ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website searchthisimage.com, the API at api.searchthisimage.com, and the skill dashboard at skill.searchthisimage.com. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our reverse image search services, whether through our API, website, or OpenClaw AI agent skill.

By using our services, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

2. Image Handling

Our core commitment is that we do not store, log, or retain the images you search. When you submit an image (via URL or direct upload) for a reverse image search:

3. No Client IP Logging

We do not log client IP addresses in connection with image search API requests. While our infrastructure providers may process IP addresses as part of network routing, we do not store, record, or associate IP addresses with your search queries or API activity.

4. NSFW Content Detection

Our API includes automated content moderation that detects and blocks requests containing not-safe-for-work (NSFW) or otherwise prohibited content. This detection occurs in real-time during image processing. When NSFW content is detected, the request is rejected and no search results are returned. We do not retain the flagged image content; it is discarded in the same manner as all other image data.

5. OpenClaw Skill Usage

SearchThisImage is available as an AI agent skill on the OpenClaw platform. When invoked through OpenClaw:
