Privacy Policy
How we collect, use, and protect your data — including your selfies and generated portraits. Last updated: June 2025.
Who is responsible for your data
What data we collect
We collect only what is necessary to provide the service:
- Account data — name, email address, and profile picture from your Google account (collected via Google OAuth at sign-in).
- Training photos — the selfies you upload to train your personal AI face model (JPEG, PNG, or WebP images).
- Generated portraits — images produced by your personal model, stored so you can access and download them.
- Usage data — pages visited, features used, error logs, and performance metrics (collected in aggregate; no cross-site tracking).
- Billing data — payment method details are handled exclusively by Stripe. We store only a Stripe customer ID and subscription status — never full card numbers.
How we use your data
- Training photos are used solely to train your personal AI face model. They are not shared with other users, not used to train any shared or third-party model, and not used for advertising.
- Generated portraits are stored so you can re-download them at any time. We do not use them for any purpose other than serving them back to you.
- Account data is used to authenticate you and send transactional emails (order confirmations, model-ready notifications, password resets).
- Usage data is used in aggregate to improve the service and diagnose issues.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for marketing purposes.
Legal basis (GDPR)
- Contract performance(Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) — processing your account data, training photos, and generated portraits to deliver the service you signed up for.
- Legitimate interests(Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) — aggregate usage analytics used to maintain and improve the service.
- Legal obligation(Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) — retaining billing records as required by French accounting law.
Selfies and generated portraits may be classified as biometric data under Art. 9 GDPR. We process them on the basis of your explicit consent given at sign-up and confirmed before you start your first training session. You may withdraw consent at any time by deleting your model and account.
Data retention
- Training photos — retained for as long as you have an active account and model. Deleted within 30 days of model deletion or account closure.
- Generated portraits — retained for as long as your account is active. Deleted within 30 days of account closure.
- Account data — retained for the duration of your account, plus 12 months after closure (to handle disputes or legal obligations).
- Billing records — retained for 10 years as required by French commercial law (Code de commerce, art. L123-22).
Your rights
Under GDPR and French law you have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of all personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate data.
- Erasure — request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
- Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Restriction — ask us to limit how we process your data in certain circumstances.
- Objection — object to processing based on legitimate interests.
- Withdraw consent — revoke consent for biometric processing at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@ohmyunicorn.com. We respond within 30 days. You may also lodge a complaint with the French data-protection authority: CNIL (cnil.fr).
Data security
Third-party processors
We use a small number of sub-processors to operate the service. All are bound by Data Processing Agreements and handle your data only on our documented instructions:
- Stripe — payment processing (USA; EU Standard Contractual Clauses apply).
- Google — authentication via Google OAuth.
- Cloud infrastructure provider — server hosting within the EU.
We do not use third-party advertising networks or sell data to data brokers.
