Privacy Policy

Effective Date: August 20, 2025

Welcome to Ghibli Photo AI! This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our AI-powered Studio Ghibli-style image generation service. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account using Google Login, we collect basic information necessary to provide our services. This includes your email address, name, and profile picture from your Google account, along with account creation and last login dates. This information helps us authenticate your identity and provide personalized service.

Usage Information

To improve our services and understand how users interact with our platform, we may collect device and browser information, usage patterns through Google Analytics, and technical information necessary to provide our AI image generation services. This data helps us optimize performance and enhance user experience.

Information We Do NOT Collect

Privacy is important to us, which is why we have made the conscious decision not to collect, store, or retain several types of potentially sensitive information. We do not store uploaded images, generated images, IP addresses, or detailed user operation logs and activity history. Your creative content remains private and is not permanently stored on our servers.

How We Use Your Information

We use your information solely to provide and improve our services. This includes providing and maintaining our AI photo generation services, authenticating your account securely, communicating with you about important service updates or changes, improving our services through anonymous analytics data, and processing payments when you choose to upgrade to premium features. We never use your personal information for unauthorized marketing or sell it to third parties.

Third-Party Services

To provide our cutting-edge AI image generation capabilities, we partner with several trusted third-party services that help us deliver the best possible experience.

AI Services

Our image generation is powered by leading AI technologies including OpenAI, Grok, and Gemini. When you submit prompts for image generation, these requests are processed by these services according to their respective privacy policies. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies to understand how they handle your requests.

Additional Services

We use Google Login for secure and convenient authentication, eliminating the need for you to create and remember another password. Google Analytics helps us understand how users interact with our service through anonymous usage statistics, allowing us to improve the user experience. We may implement Google Ads to support our service, and Stripe for secure payment processing when premium features are introduced.

Data Sharing

Your privacy is paramount to us, and we do not sell your personal information to anyone. We may share information only in specific circumstances: with third-party AI services to process your image generation requests as part of our core functionality, with trusted service providers who help us operate our platform under strict confidentiality agreements, and with legal authorities only when required by law or to protect our users and service.

Data Retention

We maintain a minimal data retention approach. Account information is retained only as long as your account remains active and is deleted when you choose to delete your account. Uploaded and generated images are not stored on our servers at any time, ensuring your creative content remains private. You maintain full control and can delete your account at any time through your account settings, which will remove all associated personal data.

Your Rights

As a user of Ghibli Photo AI, you have several important rights regarding your personal information. You can access and review your personal information at any time through your account settings, update your account information whenever needed, delete your account and all associated data completely, and opt out of non-essential communications while still receiving important service updates.

International Users

Our services are operated from the United States, and our servers are located there. By using our services, you understand and consent to the transfer and processing of your information in the United States, which may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.

Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we will notify users via email or through a prominent notice on our website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
