Data Processing in connection with usage of the Demo
When you click the 'analyze' button on our demo page the following happens:
The image you selected is uploaded to our server.
On our server, we keep the uploaded image in memory until we return the analysis result to you.
After returning the result to you, we delete your image from memory.
In case of technical errors, your image might stay in intermediate buffers.
However, on restart your image is purged from these buffers.
