Effective Date: 22 May 2025
1. Introduction
Welcome to PhotoShayari ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. If you have any questions or concerns about this privacy notice, or our practices with regards to your personal information, please contact us at help.photoshayari@gmail.com.
This privacy notice describes how we might use your information if you:
- Visit our website at photoshayari.com
- Engage with us in other related ways ― including any sales, marketing, or events
In this privacy notice, if we refer to:
- "Website", we are referring to any website of ours that references or links to this policy
- "Services", we are referring to our Website, and other related services, including any sales, marketing, or events
The purpose of this privacy notice is to explain to you in the clearest way possible what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it. If there are any terms in this privacy notice that you do not agree with, please discontinue use of our Services immediately.
2. Information We Collect
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you use our Services (e.g., uploaded photos for Shayari generation). The personal information that we collect depends on the context of your interactions with us and the Services, the choices you make, and the products and features you use.
Specifically, for PhotoShayari, when you upload a photo:
- The photo data is sent to a third-party generative AI service (e.g., Google's Gemini) to analyze its content and generate Shayari. We do not store your uploaded photos on our servers after processing, unless you explicitly save the creation, in which case it's stored in your browser's local storage.
- The generated Shayari and a reference to the image (if saved by you) are stored in your browser's local storage.
We do not require user accounts or collect traditional personal identifiers like name or email address for basic use of the service.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect or receive:
- To provide and maintain our Service, including to generate Shayari based on uploaded photos.
- To allow you to save your creations in your browser's local storage.
- To understand and analyze how you use our Service, for troubleshooting and to improve our offerings (using anonymous analytics if implemented).
4. Will Your Information Be Shared With Anyone?
We only share information with your consent, to comply with laws, to provide you with services, to protect your rights, or to fulfill business obligations.
Uploaded photos are shared with third-party AI service providers (e.g., Google AI) for the sole purpose of generating Shayari. Their use of your data is governed by their respective privacy policies.
We do not sell your personal information.
5. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
We do not store your uploaded photos on our servers beyond the processing time required to generate the Shayari. Saved creations (image reference and Shayari text) are stored in your browser's local storage and remain there until you clear your browser data or delete them through the app.
6. Your Privacy Rights
Since we primarily use local storage and do not have user accounts, your main control over your data is through your browser's settings (for clearing local storage and cookies) and within the application (for deleting saved creations).
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons and pixels) to access or store information. For example, we use local storage to save your theme preferences and your created Shayaris. Our advertising partners (e.g., Google AdSense) may also use cookies as described in their policies. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
8. Updates to This Notice
We may update this privacy notice from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Revised" date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible. We encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
