AI Story Illustrator Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to AI Story Illustrator (hereinafter "the Service"). We understand the importance of your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy is intended to clearly explain how we handle information when you use our AI image generation service and the measures we take to protect your privacy.

We adhere to the principle of minimal data collection to provide you with a safe and trustworthy creative environment.

2. Personal Information We Don't Collect

We are committed to not collecting any information that personally identifies you. Specifically, we do not:

• Require you to register for an account or provide any personal data (such as name, phone number, address, etc.).
• Permanently store or create a database of the prompts you enter or the images generated by the AI.
• Collect or process any payment-related information.
• Use cookies or other technologies to track your personal identity or cross-website behavior.
• Sell, rent, or otherwise share any of your data with any third parties.

3. Limited Information We Process to Provide the Service

To ensure the proper functioning, optimization, and security of the Service, we process the following types of non-personally identifiable information:

• Real-time Processing Data: The text prompts you input and the images the AI generates. This data is used solely for real-time generation during the computation process and is destroyed immediately after processing.
• Basic Usage Analytics: Anonymous, aggregated usage data such as feature usage frequency, service performance metrics (e.g., image generation speed, error rates), country or region of access (non-precise), and device/browser type for UI optimization. This data cannot be linked to any specific individual.

4. How We Use Information

• Core Functionality: To respond to your requests and generate the illustrations you describe in real-time.
• Service Optimization: To analyze usage trends, understand user preferences, and continually improve the model's generation quality and the overall performance of the Service.
• Security and Maintenance: To ensure the stable operation of the Service and to identify and prevent potential abuse or malicious attacks.

5. Data Retention Policy

We strictly enforce a "zero-storage" policy. The prompts you enter and the images the AI generates are processed in real-time in memory only and are permanently deleted immediately after the image generation task is complete. We do not maintain any historical records of this content on any server or database.

6. Data Security

We have implemented industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect the security of the limited data we process. All data transmission is conducted via secure encryption protocols (such as HTTPS) to prevent data from being intercepted or tampered with during transit.

7. Cookie Policy

The Service does not use any cookies for advertising or user behavior tracking. We may only use strictly necessary local storage technologies to maintain the basic functionality of the application, such as saving your user interface preferences. This information is stored only on your own device.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or process any information from children under 13. If we become aware of such a situation, we will delete the information immediately.

9. Your Rights

As we do not collect or store any of your personally identifiable information or creative content, the traditional rights regarding personal data—such as access, correction, deletion, or export—are not applicable to our Service. You have complete control over your creative content because we never save it.

10. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time based on business or regulatory changes. If there are any material changes, we will post the updated version on this page and revise the "Last Updated" date at the top. We recommend that you review this page periodically to stay informed about our latest privacy practices.
