Animal Generator helps you generate hybrid animal characters, stories, and coloring pages powered by AI. Protecting the information that makes those experiences possible is a responsibility we take seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when interacting with Animal Generator.

• Authentication & Social Login Data: Tokens and identifiers provided by services such as Google or GitHub when you choose to sign in with them.

How We Use Your Information

We rely on the information above to:

• Provide, personalize, and maintain Animal Generator features, including credit tracking, storage of your creations, and localized experiences.
• Process orders, subscriptions, and invoices through our payment partners.
• Send transactional emails such as account verification, password resets, billing notices, and important service updates.
• Improve Animal Generator by monitoring performance, diagnosing bugs, and analyzing aggregated usage trends.
• Deliver optional marketing and product updates (only if you opt in).
• Enforce our Terms of Service, prevent abuse, and secure the platform against fraud and unauthorized access.

Where required by law, we process personal data based on legitimate interests, performance of a contract, compliance with legal obligations, or with your consent.

Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers who help us run Animal Generator, and only to the extent necessary for them to perform their services. These providers include:

• Stripe for payments and subscription management.
• Cloud storage providers (such as Amazon S3 or Cloudflare R2) for hosting generated assets and uploads.
• Email communications platforms (e.g., Resend) for sending transactional messages.
• Analytics and monitoring tools to help us understand system performance and usage.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to comply with legal processes, or to protect the rights and safety of Animal Generator, our users, or the public.

Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

Third-Party Services

Animal Generator may include links to websites or services operated by third parties. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies. Review those policies before sharing information with third parties.

International Data Transfers

Animal Generator operates globally, and your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We implement safeguards to ensure your data receives an adequate level of protection wherever it is processed.

Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. No system can be completely secure, so we encourage you to protect your account with strong passwords and keep your login credentials confidential.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal data, including the ability to:

• Access, update, or delete information associated with your account.
• Request a copy of the data you have provided to us.
• Object to or restrict certain processing activities.
• Opt out of non-essential emails by using the unsubscribe link or adjusting your notification settings.
• Disable cookies through browser settings or via the controls described in our Cookie Policy.

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@animalgenerator.net. We may require identity verification before fulfilling a request.

Children’s Privacy

Animal Generator is not directed to children under 13 (or the age required by local law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
