Welcome to Cartoonie. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy will inform you about how we look after your personal data when you visit our website and tell you about your privacy rights and how the law protects you.

2. The Data We Collect About You

We may collect, use, store and transfer different kinds of personal data about you which we have grouped as follows:

  • Identity Data includes first name and last name.
  • Contact Data includes email address.
  • Device Data includes a unique device identifier when you use our mobile application. This identifier is generated by your device and is used solely to enable our app's core functionality, such as syncing your cartoons across app sessions and managing your account. We do not use this identifier for tracking purposes or associate it with other websites or services.
  • Technical Data includes internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting and location, operating system and platform and other technology on the devices you use to access this website.

3. Photo and Facial Data Handling

Important: We want to be completely transparent about how we handle photos and facial data:

  • No Facial Data Storage: We do not store, retain, or use any facial recognition data or biometric information extracted from your photos. Our cartoon creation process does not involve analyzing, storing, or cataloging facial features.
  • Temporary Photo Processing: Photos you upload are used solely for the purpose of creating cartoon versions. Once your cartoon is generated, the original photo is immediately deleted from our servers.
  • No Photo Retention: We do not maintain a library or database of user photos. Each photo is processed once and then permanently removed.
  • Automated Deletion: Photo deletion is automated and occurs immediately after cartoon generation is complete.

4. How We Use Your Personal Data

We will only use your personal data for the following purposes:

  • To communicate with you about our services.
  • To enable the proper functioning of our application, including using device identifiers to manage your account, sync your created cartoons, and provide a seamless experience across app sessions.
  • Device identifiers are used exclusively for app functionality and are never shared with third parties or used for advertising or tracking purposes.

5. Data Security

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal data from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorized way, altered or disclosed.

6. Your Legal Rights

Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data, including the right to request access, correction, erasure, restriction, transfer, or to object to processing.
