Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

• Account information you provide, such as your name, email address, and password (stored only as a salted hash).
• Content you submit, including the text prompts you enter and any images you upload to be edited or transformed.
• Images generated for you through the Service.
• Usage and device data, such as pages viewed, features used, approximate location derived from your IP address, browser type, and timestamps.
• Cookies and similar identifiers used to keep you signed in and to understand how the Service is used.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide, operate, and maintain the Service and your account.
• To generate, edit, and deliver the images you request.
• To authenticate you, send verification and security emails, and prevent fraud and abuse.
• To improve and develop new features, and to monitor performance and reliability.
• To communicate with you about your account, updates, and support requests.
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service.

3. AI Processing and Model Providers

To produce results, your prompts and uploaded images may be processed by us and by third-party AI model providers that power specific models in the Service. These providers process your content only to perform the requested generation or edit, subject to their own terms and security commitments. We do not sell your content, and we do not use it to train third-party models without your consent.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use strictly necessary cookies to keep you signed in and to secure your session. We may use limited analytics cookies to measure aggregate usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from signing in.

5. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only:

• With service providers that host our infrastructure, send our email, and process AI requests, under contractual confidentiality obligations.
• When required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of Vermeer AI, our users, or the public.
• In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case we will notify you of any change in ownership or use of your information.

6. Data Retention

We retain account information for as long as your account is active. We retain prompts and generated images as needed to provide your history and the Service. You may delete your account at any time, after which we will delete or anonymize your personal information except where retention is required by law.

7. Data Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit, hashed passwords, and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@vermeerai.art. You may also opt out of non-essential emails using the unsubscribe link in those messages.

9. International Data Transfers

We operate globally and may process your information in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the "Last updated" date above. Material changes will be communicated where appropriate.
