Image Processing and Retention
To deliver AI features, we transmit your uploaded images, prompts, and related inputs to our infrastructure and third-party AI providers solely to generate GIFs and related results for you. We process this content to provide the service you requested; we do not sell your uploads or outputs. Processed files may be stored temporarily (for example on Cloudflare R2) so you can download results from History, then removed or overwritten according to our retention practices and storage limits.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:
- Payment processors: Stripe, PayPal, and/or Creem, to complete purchases and subscriptions
- Infrastructure: Cloud database hosting, and Cloudflare R2 for file storage and delivery
- Email: Resend (or similar) for transactional and opt-in messages
- AI providers: Model providers required to run Text to GIF, Image to GIF, and related generation features
- Legal: When required by law or to protect rights, safety, and security
Data Storage and Security
- Payment card data is handled by certified payment processors; we do not store full card numbers
- We use HTTPS (TLS) to protect data in transit
- Access to production systems is limited to authorized personnel
