These services may have their own privacy policies that govern how they use your information.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies. We and our third-party service providers may use cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons, pixels, tags, and scripts) to store and track information about your preferences and settings, enhance the functionality of the Service, measure its performance, and deliver relevant content and advertising. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some parts of the Service may not function properly.

How We Share Your Information
We may share your information with the following parties:
- Service Providers. We may share your information with third-party service providers that help us provide, support, or improve the Service. These service providers may have access to your information only to perform tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes without your consent.
Your Rights and Choices
You have certain rights and choices regarding your personal information under applicable law. Depending on where you live, these may include:
- Accessing or Updating Your Information. You can access or update some of your information through the Service. For example, you can change your Instagram username or link at any time. If you want to access or update any other information we have about you, please contact us at [email protected]
- Deleting Your Information. You can delete some of your information through the Service. For example, you can delete your generated images by clicking on the "Delete" button. If you want to delete any other information we have about you, please contact us at [email protected]
- Objecting or Restricting Processing. You can object to or restrict our processing of some of your information under certain circumstances. For example, you can opt out of receiving marketing communications from us by following the unsubscribe instructions in those messages. You can also disable cookies in your browser settings or use a browser plugin that blocks them. If you want to object to or restrict our processing of any other information we have about you, please contact us at [email protected]
- Data Portability. You can request a copy of some of your information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format for transfer to another service provider under certain circumstances. If you want to request a copy of any other information we have about you, please contact us at [email protected]
- Lodging a Complaint. You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country of residence, place of work, or place of alleged infringement if you believe that our processing of your personal information violates applicable law.
Please note that some of these rights may be subject to limitations or exceptions under applicable law. We will respond to your requests within a reasonable time frame, and in any case within one month, unless otherwise required by law. We may ask you for additional information to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. We may also charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on your request if it is manifestly unfounded, excessive, or repetitive.
Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We do not retain any Instagram data on our servers; it is only stored locally on your device until you delete it or clear your browser cache. We do not retain any generated images on our servers; they are only stored temporarily until they are downloaded by you or deleted by us after 24 hours. We retain usage data for up to 12 months, unless otherwise required by law.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information. If you have any questions about our security practices, please contact us at [email protected]
Data Transfers
We are based in Germany and we process and store your personal information in Germany and other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have different data protection laws than those in Germany. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer of your personal information to these countries. We will take appropriate steps to ensure that transfers of personal information are in accordance with applicable law and carefully managed to protect your rights and interests.
Third-Party Links and Services
The Service may contain links to or integrate with other websites and services that are not operated by us, such as Instagram and Spotify. We have no control over and are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of those websites and services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those websites and services before providing them with any personal information.{" "}

We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated Policy on this page and indicating the date it was last revised. You are advised to review this Policy periodically for any changes. Your continued use of the Service after any changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.
