Welcome to Chibi Maker AI (“the App,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). We value your privacy and are committed to handling your information in a lawful, fair, necessary, and transparent manner. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your information when you use the App, and the choices and rights you have.
1. Scope
This Policy applies to your use of Chibi Maker AI on iOS, including features such as uploading photos, generating chibi/cartoon-style images, viewing and managing task history, and downloading generated results.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 User Content (Photos)
- When you voluntarily select and upload a photo, we process the image pixels solely to generate chibi/cartoon-style images.
- Photos are transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS) to our backend (domain:
api.chibistyle.app) for automated processing.
2.2 Device and Session Information (Minimized)
- Device Identifier: The App uses a device ID (sent via the
X-Device-IDheader) to associate task creation and status checks. This identifier is used only for core functionality and abuse prevention, and not for cross-app or cross-website tracking. - Network and Error Data: To diagnose connectivity issues, reliability, and security, we may record minimal technical information (e.g., timestamps, status codes, error codes). This does not include photo content.
3. Information We Do Not Collect
- No biometric/facial geometry data: We do not collect or generate facial geometry, facial feature vectors/templates, TrueDepth/Face ID data, or any biometric identifiers.
- No face recognition/verification: We do not attempt to identify the person in a photo or compare photos against identity databases.
- No advertising tracking: We do not process your photos for ad personalization or user profiling, and we do not integrate third-party ad tracking SDKs.
- No precise location: We do not request or use your precise geolocation; we do not utilize location metadata embedded in photos.
4. How We Use Information
- Core functionality: Convert your uploaded photos into chibi/cartoon-style images and present results; display history and download links.
- Service and support: Respond to inquiries, troubleshoot issues, and improve reliability and security.
- Security and abuse prevention: Detect abnormal requests and prevent misuse or attacks.
5. Face Data and Photo Processing
Face data: We do not collect or generate facial geometry, facial feature vectors/templates, TrueDepth/Face ID data, or any biometric identifiers. We only process the image pixels of your photo at your direction to apply stylistic transformations. We do not perform identity recognition or verification.
EXIF/metadata: We do not need or use location or other identifiable metadata in photos. Where applicable, we strive to strip non-essential metadata prior to upload.
Purpose limitation: Photos and generated results are used only to deliver the generation feature and history display. They are not used for ad personalization, profiling, or any unrelated purpose.
6. Sharing of Information
- No sale of personal information: We do not sell your photos or personal information to third parties.
- Service providers/processors: To enable processing, storage, and content delivery, we may engage contracted cloud infrastructure/object storage/CDN providers acting solely under our instructions as processors. They are prohibited from using data for any other purpose and must implement appropriate security controls.
- Legal compliance: We may disclose information when required by law or in response to valid legal requests, following applicable legal procedures.
7. Data Retention and Deletion
- Source photos: Retained only as necessary to complete generation and deleted promptly after processing—no longer than 24 hours (primarily for reliability and short-term retries).
- Generated results and task history: Retained to allow you to review and re-download. You can delete items in the App at any time, which triggers corresponding deletion on our servers.
- Technical logs and backups: Retained for minimal durations solely to ensure security and integrity, and cleared on a scheduled basis.
8. Security Measures
- Transport security: Data is transmitted via HTTPS.
- Access control: Storage resources are protected by least-privilege access and auditing.
- Segmentation and isolation: Layered network policies and resource isolation within cloud infrastructure.
- Processor agreements: We require service providers to follow industry-standard security and act only under our instructions.
9. Your Rights and Choices
- Access and export: View your generation history and download results within the App.
- Correction and deletion: Delete task records and generated results in the App to trigger server-side deletion. For broader deletion requests, contact us via email.
- Withdraw consent: You may stop using the upload feature at any time. Deleting the App does not automatically remove server-side data; please delete items in-app or contact us for assistance.
10. Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child without guardian consent, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
11. International Transfers
To provide reliable service to users in different regions, your information may be processed and stored outside your jurisdiction. We only transfer data with appropriate safeguards (e.g., contractual commitments and industry-standard security) and assess provider compliance and security on an ongoing basis.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy to reflect changes in our services or applicable laws. Material changes will be communicated via prominent in-app notices or other reasonable means. Unless otherwise required by law, changes take effect 7 days after posting. Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
