Privacy Policy

Overview

We value your privacy. This page explains the data we collect and how we use it.

What We Collect

• Account: your email for sign-in.
• Uploads: images you process.
• Usage: basic logs/analytics for reliability.
• Billing: Stripe (our payment service provider and merchant of record) processes all payments for AI Smart Cropper. Stripe issues invoices/receipts, collects and remits applicable taxes, and provides customer billing support. We do not store card numbers on our servers. By subscribing, you authorize Stripe to charge your selected payment method on a recurring basis until you cancel.

How We Use Data

• Provide and improve the service.
• Security/fraud prevention and legal compliance.
• Essential service communications.

Third-Party Services

• Stripe (payments)
• Hosting/CDN providers (e.g., Cloudflare)

Data Retention

We keep data only as long as necessary for the service or as required by law. You can request deletion of your account data at any time.

Cookies

• Essential (required): used for sign-in/session security, load-balancing, fraud prevention, and payments. Examples include our session cookie, Cloudflare cookies (e.g., __cf_bm, __cfruid) and Stripe cookies at checkout (e.g., __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid). These are necessary for the service to work.
• Analytics (optional, if enabled): help us understand usage and improve the product (e.g., page views, performance).
• No advertising cookies: we do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
• Third-party cookies: when you visit the Stripe-hosted payment page, Stripe may set its own cookies for fraud prevention and to operate checkout. Stripe's cookie use is governed by Stripe's policies.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Where required by law, analytics runs only with your consent and you can change your preference any time via Cookie Settings. Blocking essential cookies may prevent the site from functioning.

Retention & Your Choices

We retain data only as needed. You can request access, correction, or deletion.
