YaraArt
Privacy Policy

Your photos stay yours.

YaraArt turns your photos into artwork and short videos. To do that we handle a small amount of information about you — and nothing more than the job requires. This page explains, in plain language, what we hold, why we hold it, how long it stays, and how you can take it back.

01

What we collect

We only ask for information that is directly tied to making YaraArt work for you. There is no background harvesting, and no data collected "just in case".

Account details

The email address and display name attached to the sign-in method you choose, plus the account identifier we use to keep your credits and history together.

Images & prompts

The photos you upload and the style or template you pick, so that a result can be produced and returned to your device.

Device & app data

Device model, operating system version, app version, language and region, and a general (city-level) location inferred from your IP address.

Usage signals

Which screens you open, which templates you try, and whether a generation succeeded — used to find rough edges and crashes.

Credits & purchases

Your credit balance and transaction records. Purchases run through Google Play; your card and billing details are handled by Google and never reach our servers.

Messages you send

Anything you write in Feedback, along with the app and device context needed to reproduce the issue you are reporting.

We do not collect your contact list, your SMS or call records, your precise GPS location, or the rest of your photo library. YaraArt reads only the specific images you pick for a creation.
02

Face data

Some YaraArt features let you upload a photo containing a human face so the AI can render a new image or video from it. Because facial imagery is sensitive, we handle it under a separate and stricter set of rules, set out here in full.

What counts as face data

Any photo or frame you upload that contains a human face, together with the temporary intermediate representations our rendering pipeline derives from it solely in order to produce the result you asked for.

The rules we hold ourselves to

  • Used only to generate your result. Face data is used for one purpose: rendering the creation you explicitly requested. It is never used for identification, identity verification, face matching, biometric profiling, advertising, or any other purpose.
  • Processed only on our own servers. Face data is transmitted over an encrypted connection to servers that we own and operate, and the entire generation runs inside our own infrastructure. It is never sent to any third-party service, API, model provider, or analytics partner, and it is never sold, rented, shared, or otherwise disclosed to anyone.
  • Your upload is deleted immediately. The moment generation completes, the photo you uploaded is deleted from our servers. We keep no copy of the original, and no face template, faceprint, embedding, or other biometric identifier derived from it.
  • Results are kept 24 hours, then erased. The generated result is stored for up to 24 hours for the sole purpose of letting you download it, and is then deleted automatically. Nothing is retained after that window.
  • Never used for training. We do not use your face data, your uploads, or your generated results to train, fine-tune, or evaluate any AI model — ours or anyone else's.
  • No lasting record. Once these deletions have run, we hold no user-submitted image content and no biometric data of any kind.
In short — face data goes only to YaraArt's own servers, is used only to create the result you asked for, is deleted the instant generation completes, and the result itself disappears automatically after 24 hours. It is never shared with third parties and never used to train AI models.

If you want a generated result removed before the 24-hour window ends, email us at [email protected] and we will delete it promptly.

03

Why we use it

Every use below maps to something you can see in the app:

  • To create your artwork. Your photo and chosen style are sent to the generation service, rendered, and delivered back to you.
  • To run your account. Signing in, restoring your creations across sessions, and keeping your credit balance accurate.
  • To process purchases. Confirming a Google Play transaction and crediting your account.
  • To improve the app. Aggregated, de-identified statistics tell us which templates are worth keeping and where generation fails.
  • To keep things safe. Detecting abuse, automated scripting, payment fraud, and attempts to push prohibited content through the service.
  • To answer you. Replying to feedback, bug reports, and support requests.
  • To meet legal obligations. Tax, accounting, and lawful requests where we are required to respond.
We do not build advertising profiles about you, and no automated system makes decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on you.
04

Photos & creations

This is the part people care about most, so we will be specific.

Uploads

A photo you submit is transmitted over an encrypted connection and used for one purpose: producing the result you asked for. It is not used to train models, is not sold, and is not shown to anyone else.

Retention

Source images are removed from the processing pipeline once the job finishes or fails. Finished creations stay in your in-app History for roughly 24 hours so you can revisit and download them, and are then cleared automatically. Anything you save to your device belongs to you and is outside our reach — back up what you want to keep.

Sharing is your call

A creation only leaves YaraArt when you share or export it. We never publish your results to a public gallery or social feed on your behalf.

Please do not upload photos of other people without their consent, or images you have no right to use. See the Fair use section of our Terms.
05

How we protect it

  • Encrypted in transit. All traffic between the app and our servers travels over TLS.
  • Encrypted at rest. Stored data sits on encrypted volumes in access-controlled facilities.
  • Least privilege. Only the handful of engineers who need production access have it, and that access is logged.
  • Short lifetimes. The most sensitive material — your uploads — is the shortest-lived data we hold.
  • Regular review. We patch dependencies and review our infrastructure on a routine schedule.

No system on the internet is perfectly secure, and we will not pretend otherwise. If a breach ever affects your information, we will notify affected users and the relevant authorities without undue delay.

06

Who else sees it

A short, closed list — and a firm commitment.

Infrastructure providers

Cloud hosting and storage for the account, credit and usage records described above. They act on our instructions under contract and may not reuse your data. Photos containing a face are excluded — they are processed only on our own servers, as set out in Face data.

Google Play & Google Sign-In

Handle authentication and payment. Their own privacy terms govern what they collect directly from you.

Analytics & crash reporting

Receive de-identified usage and stability data so we can fix what breaks.

Legal & safety

Disclosed when a valid legal request compels it, or where disclosure is necessary to prevent fraud or serious harm.

Corporate changes

If YaraArt is ever merged or acquired, your data may transfer with the service — under this policy, and with notice to you beforehand.

We never sell your personal information, and we never trade it to data brokers or advertising networks.
07

Analytics & identifiers

YaraArt is an app, not a website, so there are no browsing cookies to manage. What we do use:

  • Essential identifiers. A session token and an app-generated install ID that keep you signed in and tie your credits to the right account. These cannot be switched off without breaking the app.
  • Preference storage. Local settings such as your language choice and last-used tab, kept on your device.
  • Measurement. Aggregate counts of feature usage, generation success rates, and crashes.
  • Advertising identifier. The app declares Android's advertising ID permission for attribution and anti-fraud measurement. You can reset or delete this ID at any time in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads, and YaraArt will keep working.

We do not run cross-app or cross-site behavioural advertising.

08

Your choices

Wherever you live, we extend the same set of controls. Write to [email protected] from your account email and we will respond within 30 days.

Access

Get a copy of the personal data associated with your account.

Correct

Fix anything inaccurate or out of date.

Delete

Close your account and have your data erased.

Restrict

Ask us to pause certain processing while a dispute is open.

Port

Receive your data in a common, machine-readable format.

Withdraw

Take back consent at any time, without affecting past processing.

Deleting your account removes your profile, history, and feedback records. Purchase and tax records may be retained where law requires, and unused credits are forfeited on deletion — so spend them first if you intend to leave.
09

Younger users

YaraArt is built for people aged 13 and over, and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone younger. If we learn that a child under 13 has created an account without verifiable parental consent, we delete the account and its data promptly.

Parents and guardians who believe a child has shared information with us can write to [email protected] and we will act on it quickly. Where local law sets a higher age of digital consent, that higher age applies.

10

Changes to this policy

Products change, and policies follow. When we revise this page we update the effective date at the top, and for anything that materially affects your rights we give notice in the app — and by email where we have one — before the change takes effect.

Continuing to use YaraArt after a revision takes effect means you accept the updated policy. If you would rather not, you can delete your account at any time.
