Privacy Policy for Animorph
Introduction
This section establishes the legal framework governing the relationship between onEins LLC, a Florida-registered limited liability company located at 3833 Powerline Rd, Suite 101-K, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33309, United States, and you, the user of the Animorph mobile application ("Animorph" or "App"). It clarifies that by downloading, installing, or using Animorph, you agree to the data practices outlined in this Policy. This consent is a prerequisite for your use of the App, and if you disagree, you are legally obligated to cease usage immediately. The inclusion of contact details (info@oneins.studio and +1 (754) 222-4516) ensures compliance with transparency requirements under applicable privacy laws, providing you with a direct avenue to exercise your rights or seek clarification. This introductory clause sets the tone for a binding agreement, protecting onEins LLC from liability arising from uninformed use while informing you of your rights and obligations.
1. Definitions
Precision in terminology is critical to avoid ambiguity in this Policy. This section defines key terms to ensure mutual understanding:
- "Personal Data" encompasses any information capable of identifying you, such as your name, email, or uploaded photos, aligning with broad legal definitions under statutes like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
- "User" refers to any individual engaging with Animorph, establishing the scope of this Policy’s applicability.
- "Animorph" denotes the AI-generated output from your uploaded photos, a core feature of the App.
- "Coins" are the virtual currency purchased through Apple In-App Purchases (IAP), facilitating transactions within the App.
- "Third-Party Services" lists external providers (Supabase, Google Cloud, BuildShip, Resend, and Apple IAP) integral to Animorph’s operations, with their roles clarified in later sections.
These definitions are legally binding throughout the Policy, ensuring that all subsequent provisions are interpreted consistently and in context with Animorph’s functionality.
2. Data Collection
This section delineates the categories of data Animorph collects to deliver its services, ensuring transparency as required by privacy laws. We collect:
- User-Uploaded Photos: These are processed temporarily by our AI to create Animorphs and deleted immediately thereafter, minimizing retention and mitigating privacy risks.
- Authentication Data: For "Sign in with Apple," we receive limited data (e.g., Apple ID, and optionally your name and email) as dictated by Apple’s protocols; for email login, we collect your email address and generate a one-time password (OTP) for secure access.
- In-App Purchases: Transaction details (e.g., purchase history) are collected via Apple IAP, but sensitive payment data remains with Apple, reducing our liability.
- Usage Data: Device information, preferences, and app interactions are gathered to enhance functionality, a standard practice justified by our legitimate interest in improving user experience.
- Generated Animorphs: These AI outputs are stored for your benefit, enabling access within the App.
This collection is lawful, necessary, and proportionate to provide Animorph’s core services—authentication, image transformation, and monetization—while adhering to data minimization principles.
3. Data Usage
We explicitly outline how your data is utilized to maintain accountability and comply with purpose-limitation requirements under privacy laws. Your uploaded photos are processed solely to generate Animorphs and not repurposed; immediate deletion post-processing reinforces this limitation. Authentication data secures your account, ensuring only authorized access. In-app purchase data manages your Coin balance, with each Animorph style costing 5 Coins, facilitating seamless transactions. Usage data is analyzed to optimize the App’s performance and interface, a permissible use under our legitimate business interests. Generated Animorphs are retained for your convenience, allowing you to view or download them. We commit to not using your data beyond these purposes without your explicit consent, a safeguard that aligns with contractual and statutory obligations, protecting both your rights and our operational scope.
4. Data Storage and Retention
This section details where and how long your data is stored, addressing legal requirements for data retention and deletion. Storage locations include Supabase for account data, Coin balances, and authentication details, and Google Cloud for generated Animorphs, leveraging secure, industry-standard platforms. Retention policies are as follows:
- Uploaded Photos: Deleted immediately after Animorph generation, ensuring minimal exposure.
- Generated Animorphs: Stored indefinitely for your access, unless you delete your account or request removal, balancing convenience with user control.
- Account Data: Retained until account deletion, after which all associated data is irretrievably erased.
You may initiate deletion via the App’s settings or by contacting info@oneins.studio, with no recovery possible thereafter, fulfilling your right to erasure under applicable laws. These practices ensure compliance while supporting Animorph’s functionality.
5. Data Sharing and Third-Party Services
Animorph integrates third-party services essential to its operation, and this section clarifies their roles and our data-sharing practices. Supabase stores account and usage data; Google Cloud hosts Animorphs; BuildShip supports backend processes; Resend dispatches OTP emails; and Apple IAP processes payments, retaining sensitive financial data outside our purview. Each provider operates under its own privacy policy, which we direct you to review for full disclosure. We do not share your data with other entities unless compelled by legal obligation (e.g., court order) or with your consent, limiting exposure and maintaining compliance with data protection laws. This structure shields onEins LLC from liability for third-party actions while ensuring transparency about Animorph’s ecosystem.
6. User Rights
You are afforded specific rights over your personal data, consistent with global privacy frameworks like GDPR and CCPA. Access allows you to review your account details and Animorphs within the App. Deletion permits you to erase your account and all associated data (including Coins and Animorphs) via settings or by emailing info@oneins.studio, with immediate effect. Data Portability enables downloading your Animorphs for personal use, empowering you to retain your creations. These rights are exercisable at your discretion, subject to applicable legal constraints, ensuring Animorph respects your autonomy while fulfilling statutory mandates.
7. Security Measures
We employ robust, industry-standard security protocols—such as encryption and secure authentication—to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. This commitment reflects our duty of care under privacy laws. However, we acknowledge the inherent limitations of digital security; no system is impervious to breaches or cyberattacks. This disclaimer mitigates our liability for events beyond reasonable control, while affirming our proactive efforts to safeguard your information, striking a balance between protection and legal realism.
8. Children’s Privacy
Animorph is not designed for users under 13, aligning with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar regulations. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13; if such data is detected, we will delete it promptly upon discovery, ensuring compliance with legal standards. This restriction protects minors and limits our exposure to liability, reinforcing that Animorph is intended for an adult or appropriately aged audience.
9. International Data Transfers
Your data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions outside your own, notably the United States, where our third-party providers (e.g., Google Cloud) operate. We ensure these transfers comply with applicable laws, employing safeguards like standard contractual clauses where required (e.g., under GDPR for EU users). This provision informs you of potential cross-border data flows while affirming our commitment to lawful handling, mitigating risks associated with differing regulatory regimes.
10. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Animorph itself does not deploy cookies or tracking technologies, distinguishing it from many apps and reducing privacy intrusions. However, our third-party services may use such tools under their own policies, over which we have no control. If analytics or tracking features are introduced, you can manage preferences via the App’s settings, ensuring informed consent. This approach minimizes our data footprint while maintaining transparency about external practices.
11. Changes to the Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to amend this Policy to reflect evolving practices or legal requirements, a standard provision for operational flexibility. Significant updates will be communicated via in-App notifications or email, giving you notice and opportunity to review changes. Your continued use of Animorph post-update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms, establishing a clear contractual mechanism for policy evolution. The effective date will be specified, ensuring traceability and compliance with notice obligations.
12. Contact Information
For inquiries or concerns about this Policy or your data, contact us at info@oneins.studio or +1 (754) 222-4516. This provision fulfills our legal duty to provide accessible communication channels, enabling you to exercise your rights (e.g., deletion requests) or seek clarification, while reinforcing our commitment to transparency and user support.
