I read an earlier discussion here on privacy but I have a few questions. From what I read it seems that the prompt, the response (or created image) are not stored long term on perchance servers. However, I may have been misreading but it seems that the creator of whatever generator you are using CAN see the prompts and results (ostensibly for logging purposes). It also seems that the creator can see the IP addresses that are sending the requests. These two pieces of data may not be directly linked in what the creator sees, but it seems like there would be ways (e.g., temporal analysis) of determining what IPs correspond to what prompts. Of course, I’m sure most creators don’t do this, but my point is that technically you don’t really have privacy if you’re using someone else’s generator.
So, is there a way of checking which generators log what data? I’m not really sure how all this works, so I apologize if I am way off the mark…
Honestly, as someone who knows a good bit about AI generation on perchance… I have no idea how I would see anyone’s IP address that uses the plugin on any of my generators, or prompts, or results. Unless the user chooses to upload a generation to the generator’s gallery–which would allow anyone to see the prompt and generated image. (But I don’t know how you’d get an IP address from that even then.)
I assume that the server itself has the ability to see such things. But not me as the creator of the generator page. Not from the AI plugins anyway.
As the dev said, in theory the creator of the page could use JS to read such things potentially, if they specifically wrote code to do that. But as it’s not something built in the perchance-made AI generator plugins, this is more of a thing to handle on a case-by-case basis. As in, tell that generator’s creator that they’re gathering data on their users and ask them to stop it. Or go and use a different generator page which doesn’t do that.
