Got two gdpr complaints, so I added automated removal of uploaded photos and metadata extracted from those photos.

Now photos and data are only stored for 3 minuites, then deleted (app artitecture requires server side processing of uploaded file and to compare results with your photo I have to store it - to be able to show)

Also reflected information above on the website itself. Thank you for your interest to this project!

Well done. Does this apply to all images that have ever been uploaded to the website, or only to the ones uploaded after your update? If an user uploaded an image 2 hours ago, will their image be stored or has it been deleted already?
applies to every uploaded photo of this website, uploaded at any time
Nice, thanks for implementing this
