Privacy Policy
Last updated October 23, 2026
The short version
- We never use your photos to train AI models
- Uploads are deleted after 1 day; free results after 30 days
- Photos go only to the AI provider that runs your edit
- Delete any edit, or your whole account, at any time
1. What we collect
- Account: your email address, your name, and your Google profile photo if you sign in with Google.
- Payments: Stripe handles checkout. We see the plan or pack you bought and the last four digits of the card, never the full card number.
- Usage: which tools you run, the credits each edit used, and basic log data such as IP address, country and browser. We use it to run the service, stop abuse and fix errors.
- Messages: what you send us through the contact form or by email.
2. Images, prompts and results
The photos you upload, the prompts you write and the images we return are stored in Cloudflare R2 so you can find them in My edits. How long we keep them:
| What | Kept for |
|---|---|
| Photos you upload | 1 day, then deleted |
| Results, not signed in or on Free | 30 days after the edit |
| Results after you buy a plan or credits | While your plan is active, plus 90 days |
| Safety filter logs | 90 days |
You can delete any edit from My edits at any time. Deleting it removes the files from storage, not just from the list.
3. AI processing and sub-processors
To run an edit we send your photo and prompt to the provider of the model that runs it. They process it to return a result. They don't keep it to train their models.
| Sub-processor | Purpose | Models or service |
|---|---|---|
| Image editing | Nano Banana 2.1, Nano Banana Pro | |
| ByteDance | Image editing | Seedream 5.0 Lite |
| Yir | Routes edits to the model you picked | API gateway |
| fal | Runs one-click tools | BiRefNet, Bria Eraser, CodeFormer, DDColor, SeedVR2, Topaz |
| Cloudflare | Hosting, database, file storage, bot checks, account emails | Workers, D1, R2, Turnstile, Email Service |
| Stripe | Payments and invoices | Checkout, Billing |
| Resend | Newsletter, only if you subscribe | Newsletter emails |
| Google Analytics | Site statistics, only with your OK where consent is required | Analytics |
4. Face data
Some tools work on faces, such as photo restoration. We don't build face templates and we don't identify people. Face details stay inside the image and are deleted on the same schedule as the image.
5. Model training
We don't use your photos, prompts or results to train AI models, and the providers above process them only to return your edit. We may look at an edit when you report a problem with it or when the safety filter flags it.
6. Cookies
We use a few cookies to keep you signed in and remember your language. Analytics cookies only load after you agree, if you are in a region where that is required. The Cookie Policy lists each one.
7. Your rights
- Access and export: download your results from My edits at any time.
- Correction: change your name and email in Settings.
- Deletion: delete your account in Settings → Security. We cancel any subscription, delete your photos and results, and anonymize billing records we must keep for tax.
- Objection: turn analytics off in cookie settings, linked at the bottom of every page.
If you are in the EU, the UK or California you have these rights under local law too. You can also complain to your data protection authority.
8. Contact
Questions about privacy go to support@theaiphotoeditor.com. We reply within 1 business day. If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will email account holders before the change takes effect.
