• Account Data: Bewaard zolang uw account actief is. Wanneer u uw account sluit, worden uw gegevens onmiddellijk verwijderd, met uitzondering van uw e-mailadres, dat wij voor onbepaalde tijd bewaren als vastlegging dat het account heeft bestaan, zodat het niet herhaaldelijk kan worden gesloten en heropend om opnieuw startkrediet te verkrijgen. Uw naam, wachtwoord, profielafbeelding en betalingsidentificatoren worden bij sluiting gewist.
• Generated Content: Opgeslagen zolang uw account actief is. U kunt afzonderlijke creaties op elk moment verwijderen; verwijderde items blijven 30 dagen in de Prullenbak voordat ze definitief worden verwijderd. Wanneer u uw account sluit, worden alle geüploade afbeeldingen en gegenereerde content onmiddellijk verwijderd.
• Payment Records: Bewaard zolang uw account actief is en verwijderd wanneer u het sluit. Wij bewaren uw factuurgeschiedenis niet na sluiting. Gegevens die onze betalingsprovider bewaart, vallen onder het bewaarbeleid van die provider.
• Server Logs & Analytics: API-verzoeklogboeken worden na 31 dagen verwijderd. Gebruiks- en activiteitsgegevens, geaggregeerde gebruiksstatistieken en serverlogboeken kennen geen vaste bewaartermijn; de aan u gekoppelde gegevens worden verwijderd of losgekoppeld van uw identiteit wanneer u uw account sluit. Analysegegevens die onze analyseaanbieders bewaren, worden 14 maanden bewaard.
• Supportcorrespondentie: E-mails die naar ons supportadres worden gestuurd, en onze antwoorden daarop, worden 4 jaar bewaard.

U kunt op elk moment verzoeken om eerdere verwijdering.

• Your authentication session and user preferences are stored locally on your device.
• No personal content or generated images are cached offline. All generated content remains on our secure cloud servers.

If we become aware that we have collected data from a child under 18, we will promptly delete that information.
