Privacy Policy

This website is operated by Effect Booth. Contact for privacy questions: support@effectbooth.com.

What we store

• Account: your email address, name (if you give one), a hashed password or the ID of the sign-in provider you used, and sign-in sessions (with IP address and browser type, kept for security).
• Photos and results: each photo you upload and each image made from it, stored privately in cloud storage linked to your account, for the periods under "How long we keep it".
• Generation records: for each generation, the effect or preset you chose, the text of a written edit request (if you typed one), the credits charged or refunded, the time, and the outcome.
• Blocked requests: if a written request is refused by our checks, we record that it happened and the rule category it matched, not the text.
• Purchases: order records (pack, amount, currency, status). Card details are handled by Stripe; we never see or store full card numbers.
• Support: messages you send us through tickets or email.
• Usage data: if analytics is turned on, page views and basic device information through Google Analytics or Plausible, as described in the cookie banner.

We do not store whether you ticked the "18 or older and right to use this photo" box; your browser remembers it locally so you are not asked every time.

How your photo is processed

To make a result we send your photo and the instructions for the chosen edit to our image provider, which runs the AI model that makes the image (a Google Gemini image model). The provider is currently kie.ai (NEXUSAI SERVICES LLC, USA); we may also use OpenRouter. They process the photo under their own terms.

• kie.ai gets a link to your photo that stops working after 10 minutes. kie.ai says it deletes the images it makes after 14 days and its task records after 2 months.
• kie.ai's terms let it use uploaded content to operate and improve its service. They do not say whether that includes training AI models, so we cannot promise that it does not.
• We do not sell your photos and do not use them to train our own models. We delete our own copies as described below; we cannot delete copies kept by the image provider.

Who can see your photos

On this site, only you, through your account (the image provider above processes each photo to make the result). The site shows your uploads and results only through signed links that expire after one hour. We do not publish them. Our team may look at a specific generation only to answer your support request, investigate a report of abuse, or comply with the law.

How long we keep it

• Uploaded photos: deleted automatically once 24 hours have passed since the generation finished, whether it succeeded, failed, was declined or timed out. A photo is never deleted while its generation is still running.
• Results: kept for 30 days after they are made, so you can download them again from your creations list, then deleted automatically. Download anything you want to keep.
• Deletion runs every few minutes; if our storage cannot be reached, it is retried on the next run until it succeeds.
• Generation records (effect, time, credits, outcome and the text of a written request): as long as your account exists, unless you ask us to delete your data.
• Account and purchase records: as long as your account exists, and purchase records for as long as tax and accounting law requires.
• Sign-in sessions expire on their own; security logs are kept for a limited time.

Who we share data with

Only the service providers that run the site: Cloudflare (hosting, database and file storage), kie.ai or OpenRouter and the model provider behind them (image generation), Stripe (payments), our email provider (account emails), and the analytics provider if analytics is on. We share data with authorities only when the law requires it, and we report child sexual abuse material to the relevant authorities.

Cookies and local storage

We use a sign-in cookie, a language cookie, and local storage in your browser for preferences (such as the confirmation box). Analytics cookies are used only as described in the cookie banner.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us to access, correct, export or delete your data, including specific photos and results, by writing to support@effectbooth.com from the email address on your account. Depending on where you live you may also have the right to object to processing or to complain to a data protection authority.

Deleting your account and data

There is no delete button in your account yet. To delete your account and data, email support@effectbooth.com from the email address on your account. We complete the request within 30 days: we delete your uploaded photos, results and written requests, remove your name and email address from the account and close it so it can no longer be used. Order and payment records are kept for as long as tax and accounting law requires.

Age

The service is for people aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

We will update this page when what we store or who we share it with changes; the date at the top shows the latest version.
