Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

At Elevato, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our free AI tools. We believe in transparency and minimal data collection.

Key Principle: We do not require registration, collect personal information, or store your content beyond what is necessary to provide our services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Technical Information

To provide our services and ensure fair usage, we collect minimal technical information:

• Browser Fingerprint: A unique identifier generated from your browser characteristics (no personal information)
• IP Address: Hashed for privacy and used only for rate limiting
• Usage Data: Number of requests and tool usage for service optimization

2.2 Content Data

We temporarily process your content only to provide our services:

• Text prompts and descriptions you input
• Images you upload for processing
• Generated content (images, text, translations)

Important: We do not store your content permanently. It is processed in real-time and discarded after the service is provided.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely for the following purposes:

• Providing AI-powered tools and services
• Implementing fair usage limits to prevent abuse
• Improving service performance and reliability
• Ensuring security and preventing malicious activity
• Generating anonymous usage statistics

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your information with third parties, except:

• With AI service providers (Replicate, etc.) to process your requests
• When required by law or legal process
• To protect our rights, property, or safety

All third-party services we use are bound by their own privacy policies and data protection standards.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your information:

• HTTPS encryption for all data transmission

We use minimal tracking technologies:

• Browser Fingerprinting: For usage tracking without cookies
• Local Storage: To remember your fingerprint for consistent service

• Use our services without providing personal information
• Clear your browser's local storage to reset your fingerprint
• Contact us with privacy concerns

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are designed to be safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we don't collect personal information from any users, this is inherently protected.
