Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

1. Overview

GoofLens ("we," "our," or "us") operates as a free AI-powered image transformation service. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our service at GoofLens.

2. What Information We Collect

When you use GoofLens, we may collect:

  • Uploaded images: Photos you upload to use with our transformation styles.
  • Generated images: The AI-generated outputs produced from your uploads.
  • Technical data: IP address (stored as a cryptographic hash), session identifier, browser type, and usage timestamps.
  • Usage data: Which styles you selected and optional instructions you provided.

We do not collect your name, email address, or any directly identifying personal information for standard usage.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Process your uploaded photo and generate the funny transformation you requested.
  • Prevent abuse of the service through rate limiting.
  • Monitor for technical errors and improve service quality.
  • Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Image Processing and Retention

Your uploaded images are processed to generate the AI output you requested. Both your original photo and the generated result are stored temporarily:

  • Retention period: Images are automatically deleted within 24 hours of creation.
  • Storage location: Images are stored on our secure servers.
  • Access: Original uploaded photos are not publicly accessible. Generated results are accessible only through the specific private result URL.

You should only upload images that you have the rights to use. Do not upload images of other people without their consent.

5. AI Processing

Your uploaded photo is sent to an AI image processing service to generate the transformation. By using GoofLens, you acknowledge that your photo is processed by AI systems. We select AI providers that treat user data responsibly and do not use submitted images to train their models without consent.

6. Cookies and Session Data

We use a session cookie to maintain your upload state during a single visit. This cookie does not track you across websites and expires when your session ends or within 24 hours. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies.

7. Security

We implement reasonable security measures including:

  • HTTPS encryption for all data in transit.
  • Random file naming to prevent unauthorized access to stored images.
  • IP address hashing (your actual IP is not stored in plaintext).
  • Automatic deletion of images after the retention period.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Not upload any images if you do not agree to this policy.
  • Request deletion of your data by contacting us.
  • Know that images are automatically deleted within 24 hours.

9. Children's Privacy

GoofLens is not intended for use by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used our service, please contact us immediately.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Significant changes will be indicated by an updated date at the top of this page. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
