Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how the MUSE mobile application ("MUSE", "App", "we", "us", or "our") handles information. MUSE is an AI-powered image generation and editing application that creates images based on your prompts and optional input images. There is no separate login; your Apple subscription is your account.

1. Overview and scope

• Applies to the MUSE iOS app and supporting services.
• Contact: elijah@aimacaron.com

2. Image data highlights

• Collection: Images you provide remain on your device for storage. We do not collect image metadata, embeddings, or biometric data.
• Storage: Input images are not stored in our databases.
• Use: Images are transmitted securely to our image processing provider only to generate your requested artwork, then returned; we do not retain those images on our servers. Not for ads, analytics, training, or stored troubleshooting.
• Sharing: No advertisers or data brokers. We store only limited operational metadata (model reference, credits used, status, error codes), not your images.
• Retention: Images stay on your device; we do not retain them server-side. Operational logs are short-lived (up to 30 days) and do not store images.

3. Information we handle

3.1 Images you provide

• Content: Images or reference photos you choose for generation or editing.
• Not collected: No embeddings, feature extractions, or biometric identifiers.
• Storage: Stays on your device for storage. We do not store these images in our databases.
• Use: Transmitted securely to our image processing provider only to generate requested artwork; returned to you; not retained server-side.

3.2 Prompts and text input

• Text prompts you enter for image generation.
• Stored temporarily in backend service tables for generation processing and error handling.
• Not used for advertising, analytics, or training purposes.

4. How we use information

• Billing and credits: verify subscriptions, manage credits, process renewals via the App Store.
• Reliability/support: troubleshoot failures, detect abuse, improve stability.
• Legal/safety: enforce Terms and comply with legal obligations.

5. Image data handling (collection, storage, sharing, retention)

• Storage: Not stored in our databases; you keep them on your device.
• Use: Transmitted securely to our image processing provider only to generate your requested artwork; not retained server-side; no ads/analytics/training.
• Sharing: Not shared with advertisers or data brokers. Limited operational metadata (not images) is stored.
• Retention: Images remain on your device; we do not retain them. Generated images stay on-device; operational logs up to 30 days without storing images.

6. Sharing and disclosure

• Service providers: Cloud infrastructure and managed databases for account and generation metadata (not input images); payments handled by Apple.
• No ad/marketing sharing: We do not sell or share image data or generated images with advertisers or data brokers.
• Legal: We may disclose information if required by law and will notify when permitted.

7. Retention and deletion

• Input images: On-device only; we do not receive or store them.
• Generated images: Only on your device until you delete them or uninstall the app.
• Account/credits/transactions: Kept while your account is active and as needed for support, fraud prevention, and legal obligations.
• Operational logs: Up to 30 days unless extended for security/legal reasons; no stored images.

8. Security
