# Privacy Policy
**Last Updated:** June 2026
Welcome to **AI Storefront Sign Maker** ("the App"). Your privacy is critically important to us. This Privacy Policy outlines what data we collect, how it is collected, how it is used, and strictly identifies the third-party services with whom your data is shared.
By using the App, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.
---
## 1. What Data We Collect and How We Collect It
We limit the data we collect to the absolute minimum necessary for the App to function and provide AI image generation services.
- **Text Inputs (Prompts):** We collect the text descriptions you voluntarily type into the App to generate your storefront signs.
- **App Usage Data:** We collect non-personally identifiable diagnostic and usage data (such as app crash logs and generic interactions) provided by standard Apple/Google frameworks to improve app stability.
- **Subscription Status:** We collect anonymized purchase status (e.g., active subscription receipts) via Apple App Store or Google Play Store to verify your premium access. We do not collect, process, or store your credit card information.
**We DO NOT collect:**
- Your name, email address, physical address, or phone number.
- Your photo library contents (unless you explicitly choose to save a generated image to your device, which happens locally on your device).
- Precise location data (GPS).
## 2. How We Use Your Data
The text data (Prompts) you provide is used exclusively for one primary purpose:
- **To Generate Visual Content:** Your text prompts are processed to understand your design request and generate the corresponding storefront sign images you asked for.
Your anonymous usage and subscription data are used to:
- Grant you access to premium features.
- Maintain, debug, and improve the application's core functionality.
## 3. Data Sharing with Third-Party AI Services (IMPORTANT)
To provide you with state-of-the-art AI image generation, the text data (Prompts) you input into the App **must be shared with third-party Artificial Intelligence providers.**
Before you generate any image in the App, you are explicitly presented with an in-app consent modal detailing this data transmission.
**Who your data is sent to:**
1. **OpenAI, L.L.C. (OpenAI):** The text prompt you type is sent to OpenAI's APIs. We use OpenAI to enhance, translate, and professionally format your raw text prompt so the image generator can understand it better.
2. **Replicate, Inc. / Black Forest Labs:** The enhanced text prompt is then transmitted to Replicate's API (specifically utilizing image generation models like FLUX) which renders the final image based on the text.
**Protection and Retention by Third Parties:**
We only partner with industry-leading AI providers. Both OpenAI and Replicate guarantee that data processed through their API services is **not used to train their public models** and is provided with the same or equal privacy protection as required by our own standards and applicable laws. Your prompts are transmitted securely via encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS) and are retained by these providers only for the brief duration necessary to generate your image.
## 4. User Consent and Control
We do not transmit your text prompts to OpenAI or Replicate without your explicit consent. Upon your first use of the chat or generation features in the App, you will be prompted with a clear disclosure identifying these third parties. You must tap "I Agree" to allow the transmission of your prompt data.
If you do not agree, your data will not be sent to any third party, though the AI generation features of the App will not function.
## 5. Security
We take the security of your data seriously. All data transmitted between the App, our secure backend relays, and third-party AI services is encrypted in transit using industry-standard encryption protocols (SSL/TLS).
## 6. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed to individuals under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately so we can take steps to remove such information.
## 7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, third-party provider policies, or legal obligations. We will notify you of any material changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy and, where required, requesting renewed consent within the App.
