Privacy Policy - GenAura AI Image Generator

Effective Date: June 13, 2025

Welcome to GenAura ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a safe user experience. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website www.genaura.xyz (the "Site") and use our AI image generation services (the "Services"). It also outlines our policy regarding NSFW (Not Safe For Work) content. Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect on the Site includes:

Personal Data for Accounts (Optional): If you choose to create an account via Discord or Google login, we may collect personal data as provided by those services, such as your username, email address (if permitted by your settings), and profile picture. This information is used to create and manage your account and your gallery.
Image Generation Data: Text prompts you enter are processed by our AI models to generate images. We temporarily log prompts for service improvement, debugging, and to monitor for misuse (including violations of our NSFW policy). Prompts that trigger our NSFW filters may be logged more extensively for review. Generated images saved to your gallery are linked to your account. Logs of prompts not violating policies are generally retained for a short period (e.g., up to 7 days) for operational purposes, unless specific debugging requires longer, temporary retention.
Usage Data: We may automatically collect certain information when you access the Site through standard server logs and analytics tracking systems. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, and the pages you have viewed directly before and after accessing the Site. This helps us understand how our service is used and improve it.
Donation Information: If you choose to donate, we will collect information necessary to process your donation, which may vary depending on the payment method (e.g., transaction IDs for cryptocurrency, but not your private keys; or necessary details for bKash if provided).
Cookies and Similar Technologies: We collect data through cookies and similar tracking technologies as described in the "Advertising and Cookies" section below.

Use of Your Information

Having accurate information permits us to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Specifically, we may use information collected about you via the Site or our Services to:

Create and manage your account and personal image gallery.
Generate AI images based on your prompts, subject to our content policies.
Enforce our NSFW Content and Filtering Policy.
Monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve your experience with the Site and Services using aggregated and anonymized data where possible.

Prevent fraudulent transactions, monitor against theft, and protect against criminal activity and policy violations.

NSFW (Not Safe For Work) Content and Filtering Policy

GenAura is committed to providing a safe and creative environment for all users. As such, we strictly prohibit the generation or attempted generation of Not Safe For Work (NSFW) content using our Services. This includes, but is not limited to, content that is sexually explicit, graphically violent, promotes hate speech, illegal activities, self-harm, or is otherwise deemed harmful or highly offensive.

To enforce this policy, GenAura employs a **super-strict and advanced NSFW filter system**. This system utilizes a combination of keyword analysis and sophisticated AI-powered natural language processing (NLP) to dynamically assess the safety of user-submitted prompts *before* image generation occurs.

Prompts identified as potentially violating this policy will be blocked, and image generation will not proceed.
Repeated attempts to generate NSFW content or to circumvent our filtering systems may result in further action, including but not limited to temporary or permanent suspension of access to our Services or account termination.
We reserve the right to update and enhance our NSFW filtering system and content policies at any time to ensure the safety and integrity of our platform.

By using GenAura, you agree to abide by this NSFW content policy and our general Community Guidelines. We encourage users to explore their creativity responsibly and respectfully.

Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information unless we provide users with advance notice or as described herein. This does not include:

Trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or serving our users (such as website hosting partners, AI model providers for content moderation and image generation, payment processors for donations, and analytics providers like Google). These parties agree to keep this information confidential and adhere to similar data protection standards. They are only provided with the information necessary to perform their specific services.
When required by law, such as to comply with a subpoena, or similar legal process.
When we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
To enforce our site policies (including our NSFW policy), or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety.
In connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company (users would be notified in such an event).

Non-personally identifiable visitor information (aggregated or anonymized data) may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, research, or other uses.

Data Retention

We retain personal data we collect from you where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested, such as maintaining your user account and gallery, or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements). Prompts that trigger our NSFW filter may be retained longer for review and system improvement purposes.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal data, we will either delete or anonymize it. If this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Security of Your Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to help protect your personal information. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse. Any information disclosed online is vulnerable to interception and misuse by unauthorized parties.

Policy for Children

Our Services are not intended for and we do not knowingly solicit information from or market to children under the age of 13 (or a higher age threshold if required by applicable law in your jurisdiction, such as 16 in some European countries). If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under the applicable age limit without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information. If you become aware of any data we have collected from children under the applicable age limit, please contact us using the contact information provided below so we can take appropriate action.

Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location and applicable data protection laws (such as GDPR for individuals in the European Economic Area or CCPA for California residents), you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. These may include:

The right to access – You may have the right to request copies of your personal data we hold.
The right to rectification – You may have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
The right to erasure (or "Right to be Forgotten") – You may have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions.
The right to restrict processing – You may have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.
The right to object to processing – You may have the right to object to our processing of your personal data (e.g., for direct marketing purposes), under certain conditions.
The right to data portability – You may have the right to request that we transfer the data that we have collected (that you provided to us) to another organization, or directly to you, in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, under certain conditions.
The right to withdraw consent – If we are processing your personal data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect processing of your personal data conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent.
The right to complain to a supervisory authority – You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority in your jurisdiction if you believe that our processing of your personal data infringes applicable data protection law.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@genaura.xyz. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable data protection laws. To protect your privacy and security, we may take steps to verify your identity before complying with the request.

California Residents (CCPA): If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding access to your personal information. GenAura does not "sell" personal information as defined under the CCPA. California residents may request a list of certain third parties to whom we have disclosed personally identifiable information about you for their own direct marketing purposes (if any). You may contact us as described above to make such a request. We do not currently respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals.

International Data Transfers

Your information, including personal data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. Our primary servers are located in **[Specify Your Primary Server Location, e.g., the United States, or the region Render.com uses for your service]**, and our third-party service providers may also process data in various locations.

If you are located outside **[Primary Server Location]** and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to **[Primary Server Location]** and process it there. Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by your submission of such information represents your agreement to that transfer. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Data will take place to an organization or a country unless there are adequate controls in place including the security of your data and other personal information (such as through Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable for transfers from the EEA/UK).
