Privacy Policy

At HummingBytes, LLC ("we", "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

• Account Information: Your name, email address, and any optional information you provide, like a company name. We also process billing information through secure third-party payment providers like Stripe.
• Your Content: The product photos, reference images, videos, and audio you upload; the prompts, saved prompts, and saved product details you create; and the images and videos you generate on our platform. Your content is yours, and we only process it to provide our service to you.
• Free First Product Image: If you use it without an account, we process the product photo you upload, the product name you enter, and the images we make. To limit abuse, we also process a Cloudflare Turnstile check and a hashed form of your network address, and we set a cookie that lets your browser return to your free image.
• Usage Information: Data about how you use our platform, such as credits used, features used, and technical data like your IP address, browser type, and operating system. We use this to improve our service and ensure security.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To Provide the Service: To generate and edit your images and videos, analyze the product photos you add, manage your account, process payments, and provide customer support.
• To Improve the Service: We analyze anonymized usage patterns to identify bugs, optimize performance, and develop new features.
• For Security and Compliance: To prevent fraud, enforce our Terms of Service, and comply with legal obligations.

3. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell your personal information or your content. We only share information with trusted service providers under strict confidentiality agreements for essential functions, such as:

• Payment processing (e.g., Stripe)
• Cloud hosting and storage providers
• Bot protection (Cloudflare Turnstile) for the free first product image
• AI processing providers, including Google for Gemini Omni video generation and editing
• Analytics tools to improve our product

We require these partners to follow strong data protection practices.

4. Data Retention

• We retain your uploaded media and generated assets for as long as your subscription is active (see Data Retention in Terms of Service).
• If you cancel your subscription, we retain generated images and videos for 90 days, unless you request earlier deletion.
• Photos uploaded for the free first product image, and the free image itself, are deleted automatically 7 days after upload, or sooner if you delete them. If you sign in and create more shots, the photo is saved as a product in your library and kept like your other uploads.
• For Gemini Omni video requests, Google may retain the stored Interaction used for generation and conversational editing for up to our configured 55-day retention window.
• Video files temporarily uploaded to Google for Gemini Omni processing are automatically deleted by Google after approximately 48 hours. HummingBytes does not explicitly delete these temporary production Files in this version of the service.
• When you delete a Gemini Omni video from HummingBytes, we first delete the selected stored asset and then make one best-effort attempt to delete the Google Interactions accepted for that video's generation task. A Google cleanup failure does not reverse deletion of the HummingBytes asset.
• Deleting one video does not delete independently retained descendant videos or their Interactions. A surviving descendant may retain conversational context derived from a deleted ancestor until the descendant is deleted or Google's 55-day Interaction retention window expires.
• Whole-account deletion and the rare case in which best-effort Interaction cleanup fails rely on Google's automatic expiry. Deleting a HummingBytes asset therefore does not guarantee immediate erasure of context retained in an independently surviving descendant.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Request data portability.
• Withdraw consent for optional processing (e.g., analytics cookies).

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected].

6. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies to improve your experience. See our Cookie Policy for details and controls.

7. Data Security

We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit, access controls, and regular security reviews.

8. International Data Transfers

If you access our Services from outside the United States, your data may be processed in the U.S. We use appropriate safeguards (such as Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable) to protect your data during transfers.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us data, contact us to remove it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through the platform.
