Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Vixie ("we", "our", "us") collects minimal information necessary to provide and improve our service:

• Account information: Email address and display name if you create an account
• Usage data: Anonymous analytics including pages visited, features used, and general interaction patterns
• Device information: Browser type, operating system, and screen resolution for service optimization
• Payment information: Processed securely by our third-party payment provider — we never store your full payment details

2. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
• Process transactions and send related notifications
• Analyze usage patterns to enhance user experience and performance
• Detect and prevent fraud or abuse of the Service
• Communicate service updates or changes that may affect you

3. Photo Processing

Your privacy during photo transformation is our top priority:

• Photos you upload are processed in real-time and immediately deleted after transformation
• We do not store, retain, or archive your original or transformed photos on our servers
• Photos are transmitted over encrypted connections (TLS/SSL) and processed in isolated, temporary environments
• We do not use your photos to train AI models or for any purpose other than delivering your requested transformation
• Our Chrome Extension only accesses photo data necessary for the transformation — it does not track your browsing activity

4. Third-Party Services

We use select third-party services to operate Vixie:

• Payment processing: To handle transactions securely
• Analytics: To understand aggregate usage patterns (anonymized data only)
• Cloud infrastructure: To host and deliver the Service

These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and may only use it to perform services on our behalf.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate data
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Object to or restrict certain processing of your data
• Request a portable copy of your data

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@vixie.art. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
