Privacy Policy

1. Service Overview

Sketchtoo is a mobile application that transforms uploaded drawings into 3D images and animated videos using AI. We process only the data necessary for service operation and security. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights under applicable law, including GDPR.

2. Data Controller

The personal data controller for this service is the Sketchtoo project. For all questions regarding access, deletion, or transfer of data, please contact us at [email protected].

3. What Data We Collect and Why

• Email & username — registration, notifications, and support. Stored until account deletion.
• Uploaded photos / original drawings — processing and result generation. Discarded immediately after generation; never stored on our servers.
• Generated images & videos — your results are stored locally on your own device. We do not store them on our servers; result links are hosted by fal.ai.
• Subscription and purchase data — managing your subscription and access to paid features. Stored until account deletion.
• User ID — a unique identifier assigned to your account within the app to link your data and content. Stored until account deletion.
• IP addresses & server logs — security and abuse prevention. Stored for 14 days.

4. Image Processing Pipeline

When you upload a drawing, it follows this path:

1. Your image is transmitted over HTTPS to our secure backend server (running Temporal workflow engine on a VPS).
2. Our server routes the image to fal.ai (Fal, Inc.) for AI processing and generation.
3. The generated result is returned to you through our server.
4. Your uploaded image is not permanently stored on our servers — it is held only temporarily during the generation process and discarded immediately after.

We do not use user images to train AI models without your separate explicit consent.

5. Use of fal.ai

We use fal.ai (Fal, Inc.) as our AI image processing provider. fal.ai receives your uploaded image solely to generate the requested 3D art or animation output. fal.ai does not use your images for model training and operates under a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with us in compliance with GDPR.

For more information about fal.ai's data practices, visit fal.ai/privacy.

6. Third-Party Data Processors

Your data may be processed by the following providers, each operating under a DPA with us:

• fal.ai (Fal, Inc.) — AI image processing. Images are forwarded for generation and immediately discarded. No retention for training purposes.
• VPS / backend infrastructure — Temporary processing and routing of images via Temporal workflow engine. No permanent image storage.
• Account credentials — email and password stored securely on our own servers. We do not use third-party sign-in providers.

We do not sell your personal data to any third party.

7. Data Retention & Deletion

• Email, username — retained until you delete your account.
• Subscription and purchase data — retained until you delete your account.
• IP addresses and server logs — 14 days.

You can delete your account and all associated data at any time directly in the app using the Delete Account button in the app settings. You may also request deletion by emailing [email protected].

8. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you.
• Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate data.
• Erasure — request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
• Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Restriction — ask us to limit how we use your data while a complaint is resolved.

To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Children's Privacy

Sketchtoo is designed for family use. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13. Accounts are created by parents or guardians, who are responsible for their child's use of the app. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us immediately at [email protected].

10. Security

We use industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no system is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the app or by email. Continued use of Sketchtoo after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
