Code submitted for AI detection analysis is processed in real-time. On the free tier, code is not retained beyond processing. On paid tiers, scan results and metadata (not raw code) may be stored for your history. We never use submitted code to train AI models.

2.2 Account Information

Anonymised usage data. Lawful basis: Legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f) UK GDPR).

CodeDetect results may be used in contexts involving individuals (e.g., academic integrity). We process only code — we do not process personal data about the authors of submitted code. If you use CodeDetect results in connection with identifiable individuals, you are responsible for compliance with data protection law regarding those individuals.
