I. INTRODUCTION
Ink AI ("we," "our," or "us") values your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your data when you use the Ink AI software application (hereafter referred to as the "App").
When we refer to "personal data" or "personal information," we mean any information that can be used to identify an individual, directly or indirectly. This includes details such as your name, email address, or other identifying information.
This Privacy Policy applies to all users and other individuals who access or use the App ("Users").
A brief description of how Ink AI works: Ink AI uses advanced image processing and artificial intelligence techniques to enhance and modify photos uploaded by users for tattoo visualization. It offers various features to improve and stylize your photos but does not use your personal data to train separate AI models.
Please take a moment to review our Terms of Use to understand how our services are provided to you.
II. INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW WE COLLECT IT
We may collect various types of information, including personal data, in the following ways:

These photos may include images of your body or specific areas where you wish to see the tattoo applied. We may temporarily store these files on our servers for processing but do not store them permanently.

At AI Tattoo Generator, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your photos are handled responsibly. This section outlines how we collect, use, store, and process your photos, providing detailed information on how they are used within the app, particularly for the Tattoo Generation feature. Our goal is to ensure you fully understand how your photos are handled and your rights regarding your data.
What photo data does the app collect?
The app collects photos uploaded by users to apply AI-generated tattoos. These photos may contain images of your face and body, which are processed by the AI system to overlay the selected tattoo designs onto your skin realistically. We do not collect additional biometric data or facial recognition data beyond what is necessary for the tattoo application process.
What are the planned uses of the collected photo data?
The collected photo data (photos you upload) is used exclusively for the following purposes:
Tattoo Generation: The primary use of your photos is to apply AI-generated tattoos onto your images according to the designs and placements you select. The AI ensures that the tattoos blend naturally with your skin for a realistic look.
AI Model Training: The app uses the Modelslab Headshot Design API, which processes user photos to improve the accuracy and quality of tattoo applications. However, photos used for AI training are stored temporarily in Modelslab's database and are deleted after 30 days. Users have the right to request immediate deletion of their photos from the Modelslab database.
Will the photo data be shared with any third parties? Where will this information be stored?
We do not share your photos or photo data with third parties for any marketing, advertising, or profiling purposes. The photos you upload are processed solely within the app for tattoo generation purposes.
The photos may be temporarily stored on our servers or by third-party service providers, such as Modelslab, for processing during the tattoo application process. However, these photos are not stored permanently and are deleted after processing is completed. Modelslab may retain photos used for AI model training in their database for a maximum of 30 days, after which they are deleted unless you request immediate deletion.
How long will photo data be retained?
Photos uploaded for tattoo generation are stored temporarily during the processing phase. Once the processing is completed, the photos are either deleted from our servers or removed from our system. Photos used for AI training by Modelslab are retained for a maximum of 30 days and can be deleted upon request at any time. Users may contact us at burak@apprepublic.co f they wish to have their photos deleted immediately.
