Privacy Policy for MemePilot

1. Information Collection

MemePilot is designed with your privacy in mind. We do not collect or store your personal data that directly identifies you.

When you use our meme generation features, the following types of information may be processed:

• Meme Ideas and Topics: Text you provide as meme ideas or selected topics are sent to third-party AI services (such as OpenAI via Supabase Edge Functions) to generate punchlines and image prompts.
• Uploaded Images: If you use the "Add Punchline to Image" feature, the selected image is processed by third-party AI services (such as OpenAI via Supabase Edge Functions) to understand its content and generate a relevant punchline.
• Generated Content: Images generated by AI services (like Replicate via Supabase Edge Functions) and the accompanying text (punchlines) are displayed within the app.
• Usage Data (Anonymous): We may use services like Supabase to store anonymous, session-related data, such as credit usage, to ensure the functionality of the app. This data is not linked to your personal identity.

All processing via third-party services is done through secure, encrypted connections. We do not permanently store your original images or the text you input on our servers beyond the temporary processing period required by these services.

2. Data Usage

The information processed by MemePilot is used solely for the following purposes:

• To provide the meme generation services you request (e.g., creating punchlines, generating images based on your input).
• To enable the "Add Punchline to Image" feature by analyzing the content of your uploaded image.
• Images and text you provide are not used for training third-party AI models unless explicitly stated by those third-party services in their respective privacy policies. We endeavor to use services that respect user data privacy.
• Data sent to third-party AI services is typically deleted by those services after processing, according to their policies.

3. Third-Party Services

MemePilot utilizes the following third-party services to provide its core functionalities:

• Supabase: Used for hosting Edge Functions that interact with AI models. Supabase may also be used for anonymous data storage (e.g., credit management). Their privacy policy can be found at https://supabase.com/privacy.
• OpenAI: Used for natural language processing, punchline generation, and image understanding. Their policies can be found at https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy.
• Replicate: Used for AI-powered image generation. Their privacy policy can be found at https://replicate.com/privacy.
• AsyncStorage (Local Storage): Used to save your created memes to your in-app "Collections" feature, locally on your device.
• If subscription services are offered in the future, we may use a service like RevenueCat for managing subscriptions. Their privacy policy would be applicable.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these third-party services to understand how they collect, use, and share your information.

4. Data Storage

Generated memes can be saved by you to your device's photo gallery. Memes saved to the "Collections" feature are stored locally on your device using AsyncStorage.

We do not maintain copies of your original images, input text, or generated memes on our own servers, other than what is temporarily necessary for processing by the third-party AI services.

MemePilot requires the following permissions to function correctly:

• Photo Library Access: To allow you to select images for the "Add Punchline to Image" feature and to save generated memes to your gallery.
• Internet Access: To communicate with Supabase Edge Functions and the underlying AI services (OpenAI, Replicate) for meme generation.

6. Children's Privacy
