NEW: Credentials held elsewhere are fetched only with your permission. Some images carry no Content Credentials themselves and instead name a web address where their credentials are held. Origin Lens used to contact that address automatically while reading the image. It now stops, names the host, and asks. Your image is not sent, and your approval covers only the host you approved. IMPROVED: Requests for those credentials are bounded. Encrypted connections only, a time limit, and a size limit. Credentials that arrive are checked against your image on your device, so an address cannot vouch for one image by serving credentials that belong to another. IMPROVED: The AI assessment no longer starts while that question is open. It previously ran whenever no credentials were found, which would have uploaded your image to answer a question that the pending credentials may answer without any upload. IMPROVED: Watermark attestations are now visible. When credentials state that an invisible watermark was inserted, Origin Lens shows that statement. It reads the attestation rather than detecting a watermark, and the wording keeps the two apart. IMPROVED: The privacy policy describes the new path and separates it from the two features that do send an image. The policy link in the app points at the exact release you are running.
