6. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

7. Image Storage and Retention Policy

We implement a tier-based storage management system to optimize costs and ensure service sustainability:

7.1 Storage Tiers and Limits

7.2 Image Expiration and Automatic Cleanup

Images are automatically assigned an expiration date based on your tier at the time of generation:

• Expired images are automatically removed from Firebase Storage daily
• You will see expiration warnings in your dashboard for images nearing expiration
• Upgrading your tier extends the retention period for newly generated images
• Previously generated images retain their original expiration date

7.3 Favorite Images Protection

You can mark images as "favorites" to protect them from automatic deletion:

• Never Expire: Favorited images are exempt from expiration dates
• No Storage Limits: Favorited images don't count toward your storage limit
• Permanent Protection: Favorites remain stored indefinitely regardless of tier
• Easy Management: Toggle favorite status at any time from your dashboard

7.4 Storage Cost Optimization

This tier-based system helps us:

• Maintain affordable pricing while managing Firebase Storage costs
• Ensure service sustainability and continued operation
• Provide fair resource allocation based on usage patterns
• Prevent unlimited storage growth that would increase costs for all users

7.5 Your Control and Data Export

You maintain full control over your generated images:

• Download images at any time before expiration
• Share images directly from the dashboard
• Delete images manually if desired
• Mark important images as favorites to prevent auto-deletion

8. Your Rights and Choices

You have the right to:

• Access: Request access to your personal data
• Correction: Update or correct your information
• Deletion: Request deletion of your account and data
• Portability: Request a copy of your data in a portable format
