Photo Privacy and Storage in Probe

What happens to a scene photo after analysis, and how Probe keeps the case assets needed for history review.

What Probe needs to perform analysis

Probe needs the source image to run scene analysis. The photo is sent for processing so the system can identify objects, reconstruct the scene, assign confidence, and generate overlays and narrative output.

Without the image itself, there is nothing to analyze. The important privacy question is what happens after that processing step is complete.

What is kept in case history

Probe keeps the text results of the analysis and a compressed thumbnail for your case file history. In deployments where full case reopening is enabled, the uploaded source image may also be retained so you can review the original frame later.

The case file exists so the app stays useful after the initial scan. It gives you continuity across scenes instead of making every analysis disposable.

Why the source image may also be kept

Some Probe environments keep the uploaded source image alongside the thumbnail so a full case file can be reopened later. That is useful when you want to inspect the original frame instead of relying only on a lightweight preview.

If a scene is sensitive, you should treat app history as retained case material and delete it when the record is no longer needed.

Why saved case assets still matter

The written case output, thumbnail, and any retained source image make it easier to compare past scenes, share findings, and reopen an investigation without starting from scratch.

If you need stronger archival control, keep your own originals in the system you trust most and remove app history when the case is closed.

When to review your privacy options

Personal documentationKeep only the history you still find useful.

Sensitive scenesDecide whether to keep your original locally and remove app history when the case is closed.

Long-term recordkeepingStore originals outside the app if they matter beyond day-to-day review.

Field note: Probe keeps the record useful on purpose: enough to reopen past case files while limiting storage to the images and text tied to that history.
