Privacy Policy for ImageIQ

Effective Date: February 13, 2026
Last Updated: February 13, 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains what data ImageIQ collects, how we use it, and when it is shared with third-party processors.

By using ImageIQ, you agree to this Privacy Policy.

Data We Collect

1. Account Data

  • Email address (email sign-in)
  • Apple Sign In identifier/token data
  • Unique user ID and account timestamps

2. Project and Image Data

  • Original images and edited outputs you create in the app
  • Project and edit metadata (names, tags, favorites, timestamps)
  • Stored files and thumbnails needed to load your projects

3. AI Request Data

  • Prompts/instructions you submit for AI generation or editing
  • Image bytes sent for AI editing/upscaling
  • AI request settings (model, aspect ratio, size, operation type)

3A. Face Data Clarification

  • ImageIQ does not collect or create face templates, face embeddings, facial landmarks, or other biometric identifiers.
  • If a photo you choose contains a face, the face pixels are processed only as part of the full image you submit for generation/editing/upscaling.
  • ImageIQ does not perform identity verification or facial recognition.

4. Purchases and Subscription Data

  • Subscription status, product identifiers, and transaction references
  • Credit balances and credit transaction history

5. Diagnostics and Analytics Data

  • Crash and reliability logs (Firebase Crashlytics)
  • Optional product analytics events if you enable analytics
  • AI cost telemetry metadata used for billing and abuse protection

AI Permission and Third-Party AI Sharing

Before ImageIQ sends prompt or image data for AI processing, the app asks for your permission.

If you allow AI processing, ImageIQ may share the following with third-party AI processors:

  • Prompt text/instructions
  • Input image data you choose to process
  • Operation settings required to generate/edit/upscale

AI providers used by ImageIQ:

  • Google Gemini for image generation and editing
  • Stability AI for image upscaling

If you do not allow AI data sharing, AI features will not run.

Face data handling:

  • If an input image includes a face, the same image data is sent for AI processing as described above.
  • No separate biometric profile or facial template is created by ImageIQ.

How We Use Data

We use data to:

  1. Provide app functionality, including project storage and AI features
  2. Authenticate users and protect account security
  3. Manage subscriptions, credits, and purchase reconciliation
  4. Detect abuse, enforce limits, and maintain service reliability
  5. Improve product quality through diagnostics and optional analytics

Where Data Is Processed and Shared

  • Convex (application backend and file storage)
  • Supabase (authentication)
  • Google Gemini (AI generation/editing)
  • Stability AI (AI upscaling)
  • RevenueCat and Apple (billing)
  • Firebase Crashlytics (diagnostics)
  • PostHog (essential AI telemetry and optional analytics)
    • Receives essential AI telemetry metadata (request IDs, operation type, token/cost usage, and error codes) for billing and abuse protection
    • Receives optional product analytics events only when analytics consent is enabled

We do not sell your personal data.

Storage, Retention, and Security

  • Project files can be stored in cloud storage to provide app functionality
  • App preferences and some cached data are stored locally on your device
  • Data is transmitted over HTTPS/TLS
  • Authentication/session tokens are kept in secure system storage

Retention:

  • Account, project, and edit data is retained while your account is active.
  • You can delete projects/edits in-app at any time, and you can delete your account in-app.
  • When you delete your account, ImageIQ deletes associated project/edit records and schedules associated stored files for deletion.
  • AI request payloads (including prompts and images you submit) are retained only as needed to deliver the requested feature, enforce abuse protections, and support billing/audit records.
  • Third-party AI processors (Google Gemini, Stability AI) process submitted data under their own retention policies.

Your Choices

  • Delete projects and edits from within the app
  • Delete your account from Profile settings
  • Disable optional product analytics in app settings
  • Decline AI sharing consent (AI features will be unavailable)
