Cartoon Me AI (“we”, “us”, or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to handling your data responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights when using the Cartoon Me AI iOS app.
Uploaded Photos When you use Cartoon Me AI to turn your photo into a cartoon, your image is:
Sent securely to our backend for processing
Transformed into a cartoon-style version using Google Gemini, our AI provider
Deleted automatically after the final image is delivered — typically within minutes
The uploaded image is not stored long-term, reused, or accessed for any other purpose.
Visual Processing Details To apply stylistic effects (e.g., cartoon outlines, anime-style eyes), the AI may interpret visible facial regions like eyes, mouth, and head shape. This is only to ensure accurate style rendering. No facial recognition, biometric analysis, or identity tracking is performed.
Usage Analytics and Crash Data We use Firebase services to collect anonymous data such as:
Which features/styles are used
How many images are generated or saved
Crash reports and performance diagnostics
This data helps us improve the app and fix bugs. No personally identifiable information (PII) is collected or linked.
No account or login is required
We do not collect names, emails, or contact information
We do not use your data for ads, tracking, or profiling
We use your data to:
Generate cartoon-style images via AI
Deliver the result to your device
Monitor performance and improve the app
Resolve bugs or technical issues
All processing is automated. We don’t view, store, or share your photos.
Photos: Deleted immediately after image generation (usually within minutes)
Crash & usage data: Stored anonymously by Firebase under their standard retention policies
No data is retained beyond what’s needed for core functionality and diagnostics
We rely on the following secure third-party platforms:
Google Gemini – for image-to-cartoon AI transformation
Firebase – for temporary storage, analytics, crash tracking, backend processing, and app security (includes Storage, Functions, App Check, Analytics, and Crashlytics)
All third-party services are contractually or technically configured to respect user privacy and delete temporary data after use.
We use industry-standard practices to protect your data:
Encrypted transfer of all photos and responses
Automatic deletion of temporary files after processing
Secure infrastructure provided by Google Firebase
Legal Compliance We aim to comply with major global privacy regulations including:
GDPR (Europe)
CCPA (California)
Apple’s App Store Privacy Requirements
We do not store, share, or sell any user data.
Since no personally identifiable information is collected or retained, most user data requests do not apply. However, if you have concerns or questions about how we handle your data, you can always contact us.
We may update this policy as the app evolves. We’ll post any changes within the app or on our website so you’re always informed.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
