What we collect
- Account data
- Email, display name, and avatar from your chosen sign-in provider — Apple, Google, Meta / Instagram, or an email magic-link.
- Uploads
- Photos you submit for stencil generation. On the Free tier these are processed and not retained beyond generation. Premium uploads are persisted to your cloud gallery.
- Usage telemetry
- Crash reports via Sentry and product analytics via PostHog. Identifiers are pseudonymous where technically feasible.
- Device identifiers
- A hashed device fingerprint, used solely to deter multi-account abuse.
- Website analytics
- This marketing website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless — no tracking cookies are set, so no cookie-consent banner is shown.
AI & third-party generative processing
When you upload a reference image and select a style to generate a stencil, your image is transmitted to xAI (Grok), our primary third-party generative AI provider, and may be sent to Google Gemini via Vercel AI Gateway as a fallback. These providers are located in the United States.
By uploading an image and initiating generation you explicitly consent to this limited sharing and processing solely for the purpose of creating the black-line stencil. The image is not retained by these AI providers after the request completes, is never used to train models, and is never shared with any other party.
This disclosure and consent mechanism satisfies App Store Review Guideline 5.1.2(i) and Google Play AI-Generated Content policy requirements for apps that use generative AI.
