Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2025

Situ.art ("we", "our", or "us") operates the Situ.art application (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service.

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address and encrypted password. If you sign in via a third-party provider (Google or GitHub), we receive your email address and basic profile information from that provider.

Artwork & Generated Images

When you use the Service, you upload artwork images and we generate background images, composite mockups, and enhanced images on your behalf. These images are stored in our cloud storage and associated with your account.

Usage Data

We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including the number of images generated, backgrounds created, and downloads performed. This data is used to enforce usage limits based on your subscription tier.

Payment Information

Payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number or full payment details. We store your Stripe customer ID and subscription status to manage your subscription.

Cookies & Local Storage

We use cookies for session management and authentication. We use browser local storage to save your preferences (such as theme settings and app state). Anonymous visitors receive a session cookie for usage tracking purposes.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • Service Delivery: To process your artwork, generate backgrounds and composites, and provide the core functionality of the application.
  • Account Management: To manage your account, authenticate your identity, and communicate with you about your account.
  • Billing: To process payments, manage subscriptions, and enforce usage limits based on your tier.
  • Improvement: To understand how the Service is used and to improve its features and performance.

3. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services to provide our Service:

  • Supabase: Database hosting, user authentication, and file storage.
  • Stripe: Payment processing and subscription management.
  • Google AI (Gemini/Imagen): AI image generation and enhancement. Your uploaded artwork and prompts may be processed by Google's AI services.
  • OpenAI (DALL-E): AI image generation. Your uploaded artwork and prompts may be processed by OpenAI's services.
  • Black Forest Labs (Flux): AI image generation. Your uploaded artwork and prompts may be processed by BFL's services.
  • Google Cloud Vision: Object detection in background images for scale reference purposes.

Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing the use of data they process on our behalf.

4. Data Retention

We retain your account data and generated images for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, all associated data (artworks, mockups, backgrounds, and usage records) are permanently deleted within 30 days.

Anonymous session data is retained for up to one year from the last activity.

5. Your Rights

  • Access: You can view your data through the Settings page.
  • Deletion: You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from the Settings page.
  • Data Portability: You can download your generated images at any time.
  • Correction: You can update your email address through your account settings.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures, including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), row-level security policies on our database, and secure authentication practices. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure.

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
