Comment on Is anyone self-hosting their own AI?

Does Immich sell/use/keep your ML-based FR? Or is this totally local a never leaves your instance?

That was always the question that bordered me… I run Leeche its a very simple and minimal photo album service and I really like it ! But my family want something that’s more like immich but I’m not very cautious about what i’m selfhosting and something that collects data points on my behalf is a no-go !

Immich is entirely free and open-source software and got a grant from the FUTO Foundation, which is fiercely pro privacy. As such, it does not engage in any data sharing. Development is financed through the grant and purchases of the server licence (I got one; it’s ridiculously good software).

I do not run Immich but their privacy policy states:

Locally Stored Data: Immich stores all your photos, albums, settings, and other metadata locally on your device. We do not have access to this data, nor do we transmit or store it on any of our servers.

Additionally in their docs I can find no mention of connecting to outside services. I do see references to downloading hugging face models.

  Thank you very much ! I didn’t expected someone doing my part to RTFM o_O !
  
  Without doing again the heavy reading part, what should I expect from hugging face models?
  
  If my reading skills are correct it should be local, but I’m really paranoid about this stuff ^^ Even though I read your posted links, I’m still not sure if I should trust them…
  
  Something written in a manual and what the code realy does are sometimes far appart ^^’
