Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 23, 2026
This policy explains how Drop Candy ("we," "us") collects, uses, and protects your information.
1. What We Collect
Information you provide:
- Name, email address, and password when you create an account
- Billing information (processed by Stripe — we do not store card details)
- Product images you upload
- Any communications you send us
Information collected automatically:
- IP address and approximate location
- Device type, browser, and operating system
- Usage data — pages visited, features used, time spent
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies (see Section 8)
2. How We Use It
We use your information to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Service
- Process payments and manage your subscription
- Send transactional emails (account, billing)
- Detect fraud and enforce our Terms of Service
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell your personal data.
3. Your Uploaded Content
When you upload product images, we act as a data processor on your behalf — we process those images solely to provide the Service as you instruct. We do not use your uploaded images or generated outputs to train our own AI models. Your data may be processed by third-party AI providers as part of delivering the Service, and their use of data is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.
We do not intentionally collect or use biometric identifiers for identification purposes.
4. Third-Party AI Providers
Drop Candy uses third-party AI services to generate images. Your uploaded content and prompts are processed by these providers. We prefer to work with providers who do not use customer data for model training, but we cannot guarantee their practices.
A current list of our AI providers and all sub-processors is available in Section 5 below. We will update this list when our providers change.
5. Sub-Processors
We share data with the following third-party service providers to operate the Service:
| Provider | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google (Gemini API) | AI image generation | View |
| Supabase | Database and file storage | View |
| Vercel | Hosting and infrastructure | View |
| Stripe | Payment processing | View |
| Upstash | Rate limiting and job queuing | View |
| Sentry | Error monitoring | View |
Each provider is subject to their own privacy policy and data practices.
6. Generated Content & Privacy
Images you generate through Drop Candy are private by default — they are not shared publicly or visible to other users. You control who sees your generated content.
Drop Candy generates images using artificial intelligence. These images do not depict real people. Any resemblance to actual individuals is coincidental and not intended.
AI-generated images may occasionally contain unintended elements, including content that resembles third-party logos, trademarks, or brand identifiers. Users are responsible for reviewing all generated outputs before commercial or public use.
7. Data Retention
We retain your personal data only as long as necessary to provide the Service and meet our legal obligations. If you cancel your account, you may request deletion of your data by emailing legal@dropcandy.ai. We will process deletion requests within a reasonable timeframe. Some data may be retained as required for legal, security, or billing purposes.
8. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service and understand how it is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect Service functionality.
We use:
- Essential cookies — required for the Service to function
- Analytics cookies — help us understand usage patterns (e.g. Google Analytics)
9. Your Rights

- Request access to the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data

Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, and other US state users:
Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights to: access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of your personal data; opt out of targeted advertising and profiling used to make decisions with legal or similarly significant effects; and appeal our decision if we decline your data request.
