4. Legal grounds for processing
We process your Personal Data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and relevant national laws such as the Law of Ukraine “On Protection of Personal Data”. Below, we outline the legal grounds on which our processing activities are based.
4.1. When you register and use the App, you enter into a contractual relationship with us governed by our Terms & Conditions. We process your Personal Data to fulfill our obligations under this contract. This includes enabling you to create and manage your Account, access AI-based features, process and generate content, and receive results. Without such processing, we would not be able to provide the Services you request.
4.2. In cases where the law requires us to obtain your prior permission, we will process your Personal Data only after receiving your clear and informed consent. This includes instances such as registering via email, uploading media, or interacting with AI-driven functionalities. You can withdraw your consent at any time through your Account settings or by contacting us. However, withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of any prior processing based on consent.
4.3. We also process some of your Personal Data on the basis of our legitimate interests, provided these interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms. Such processing may include internal analytics, service optimization, App security monitoring, fraud detection, user support, and research aimed at improving performance and user experience. We ensure that any impact on your privacy is minimized and proportionate.
4.4. There are circumstances where we are legally required to process and retain certain data. For example, we may need to disclose information to authorities or respond to lawful legal requests. We may also be obligated to retain transaction records for tax or regulatory compliance. This processing is strictly limited to what is required by law.
4.5. We do not intentionally collect or process personal data about third parties, including individuals who may appear in the content uploaded by users. If you submit such content, you are solely responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary legal rights or consent to share this data. We do not analyze, profile, or repurpose third-party data and do not process it beyond executing the task requested by the user.
4.6. We strictly limit the use of your Personal Data to the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. We will not use your data for unrelated purposes without your additional consent or unless required by law. Any future processing will be compatible with the original purpose or justified by a new legal basis.
5. Data sharing and disclosure
We treat your personal data with the highest level of confidentiality and do not sell, trade, or rent it to third parties. However, in order to operate the App effectively and provide you with seamless services, we may share your data with selected third parties under strict conditions and only for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.
5.1. We may disclose your personal data to trusted third-party service providers who assist us in delivering and maintaining the functionality of the App. These include:
- Cloud infrastructure providers (such as Google Cloud Platform, located in the United States), which host our virtual servers and store operational data;
- Analytics and performance tracking platforms, such as Google Analytics, Firebase Analytics, Amplitude, Appsflyer, and UXCam — all of which help us understand how users interact with the App and where we can improve functionality;
- Push notification providers, including Firebase Messaging, which enable us to deliver in-app messages and updates;
- Technical support and maintenance providers who assist in resolving service issues and monitoring system performance.
All such partners act under contractual obligations that ensure the confidentiality, security, and lawful handling of your Personal Data in accordance with this Policy and applicable data protection laws.
5.2. We may access, preserve, or disclose your personal data if we believe it is reasonably necessary to:
- Comply with applicable laws or respond to valid legal processes, including requests from public and government authorities;
- Enforce our Terms & Conditions or protect the integrity and security of the App;
- Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues;
- Protect our rights, property, or safety, as well as those of our users or the public, as required or permitted by law.
5.3. In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your Personal Data may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to confidentiality requirements and your continuing rights as described in this Policy.
5.4. Due to the global nature of our infrastructure and service providers, your personal data may be transferred to, processed, and stored in countries other than your country of residence — in particular, the United States, where the servers of our main infrastructure partners (e.g., Google Cloud Platform) and several analytics and messaging services are located.
Such transfers are necessary for the performance of our services and are made in full compliance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for Users located in the European Economic Area (EEA). Where applicable, we rely on one or more of the following legal mechanisms to ensure adequate protection of your data when transferred internationally:
- Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) adopted by the European Commission, which ensure that data recipients outside the EEA commit to providing a level of protection essentially equivalent to that guaranteed within the EEA;
- Adequacy Decisions by the European Commission, recognizing certain countries as providing adequate data protection;
- In cases where data is transferred on the basis of legitimate interests or contractual necessity, we implement additional safeguards to protect your privacy, such as encryption, access controls, and strict contractual obligations with service providers.
We require that all recipients of your Personal Data, regardless of their country, adhere to strict data protection standards and only process your data for the limited and legitimate purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.
You may request additional information on the specific transfer mechanisms or copies of applicable safeguards by contacting our support team at the email provided in the Contact section of this Policy.
6. Data storage and retention
6.1. Where we store your Personal Data
Your personal data is securely stored on cloud infrastructure provided by Google Cloud Platform (GCP), currently located in the United States (US region). GCP complies with international data protection standards and provides robust security and reliability for stored information. In addition, analytics and notification services that process some personal data — such as Firebase, Google Analytics, Appsflyer, Amplitude, and UXCam — are also hosted primarily in the United States.
We do not access or store any payment data directly. Payments and subscription transactions are processed through trusted third-party platforms, such as Apple App Store and Google Play, which manage your financial data in compliance with their respective privacy policies and applicable regulations. The Company has no access to your credit card details or complete payment credentials.
6.2. How long we retain your personal data
We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, including to comply with legal, accounting, or reporting obligations, or until you delete your account using the “Delete Account” feature — whichever comes first. Specifically:
- Data associated with active User Accounts is retained for the duration of the Account’s existence.
- Upon account deletion, your data is permanently and irreversibly deleted from our systems, unless legal obligations require otherwise.
- If backup copies exist, we ensure they are inaccessible and scheduled for secure erasure during the next backup cycle.
- We regularly assess our data retention practices to ensure compliance with the principle of data minimization and to prevent excessive storage.

Technical safeguards:
- Two-factor authentication (2FA) for administrative access;

- Firewalls and intrusion prevention systems;
- Regular backups and incident response protocols.
6.5. In the event of a data breach that may compromise your personal data, we commit to notifying the relevant supervisory authorities within 72 hours where required by law (such as GDPR). If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you without undue delay.
6.6. While we take appropriate steps to protect your data, please note that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. You transmit your data at your own discretion and risk.
