Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Tesseract OCR (“we”, “our”, “the project”) handles data when you use our website or the open-source OCR software. Tesseract OCR is a freely available tool, developed and maintained by contributors around the world. We respect user privacy and do not collect personal data unless explicitly shared by the user.

📋 1. Information We Collect

• No Accounts Required: You can use Tesseract OCR without creating an account or providing personal information.
• No Image Uploading by Default: Images processed using Tesseract stay on your device unless you manually upload them to a third-party platform.
• Optional Contact Info: If you contact us via email or support pages, we may receive your name and email solely to reply.

⚙️ 2. How We Use Information

• To provide support if you reach out.
• To improve documentation, translations, or community tools.

🍪 3. Cookies and Analytics

Some website features may use minimal cookies or anonymous traffic analytics. These do not identify individual users and are only used to understand general usage patterns.

🔗 4. Third-Party Links

Tesseract OCR documentation and downloads may link to GitHub, Linux repositories, Homebrew, or official package sources. Each platform has its own privacy practices. We encourage reviewing their policies separately.
