Polly Privacy Policy

At Polly, a SaaS platform for professional portrait optimization, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal data. This Privacy Policy describes the types of personal information we collect, how we use and share it, and the choices you have regarding the use of your information.

By using Polly, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide and improve our services. The information can be divided into:

• Personal Data: Information that directly identifies you, such as name, email address, payment information (if applicable), and photos you upload for AI processing. The submitted photos are used to generate professional photographs and are treated confidentially.

• Non-Personal Data: Information about site usage, such as IP address, browser type, browsing data, style preferences, and editing history. We use cookies and similar technologies to collect this data.

• Third-Party Data: We integrate with APIs like Replicate for AI processing.

We do not collect sensitive data, such as health, race, or belief information, unless inherent in the submitted photos, and we handle this data with the utmost care.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Provide the services: Process your photos using AI to generate optimized photographs, including features like background removal, smile adjustment, eyes, lighting, and background change.

• Improve the service: Analyze usage to optimize the workflow and the recursiveness of the AI engine.

• Legal compliance: Respond to legal obligations or protect our rights.

• Storage: Save generated images in the "Recent Generations" gallery for persistence and state management.

The submitted and generated photos are stored temporarily for interactive editing purposes.

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with:

• Service Providers: Third parties like Replicate API for AI processing, hosting providers, or analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics), under contracts ensuring data protection.

• Legal Authorities: If required by law or to prevent fraud.

We ensure that any sharing complies with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), if applicable.

4. Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure servers in the EU or in regions with adequate levels of protection. We use security measures like encryption, firewalls, and access control to protect against unauthorized access. However, no online transmission is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Images generated with low denoising strength (0.15-0.35) are designed to preserve your facial identity, but we recommend not uploading sensitive photos.

5. Your Rights

According to the GDPR and similar laws:

• Access and Correction: You can access or correct your personal data.

• Deletion: You can request the deletion of your photos and data (unless required for legal purposes).

• Objection: You can object to processing for marketing.

• Portability: You can request the transfer of your data.

To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below. We will respond within 30 days.

6. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies to improve the user experience, such as to manage sessions and track preferences. You can manage cookies in your browser settings.

7. Children

Our services are not directed to individuals under 18. If we learn that we collected data from children, we will delete it immediately.

8. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy periodically. We will notify you of significant changes via email or on the site. The date of the last update will be at the top.
