Privacy Policy

ArtNova ("the app") is an AI image generator and AI face swap app for adults. This document describes how we handle information when you use the app. ArtNova is intended only for users aged 18 and over. By using the app, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and you agree to this Privacy Policy.

1. App permissions and why we need them

The app requests certain permissions so core features work:

• Internet – To load styles, generate and transform images on our servers, manage your creations, subscription status, and other app content.

• Camera and Photos – To let you take a photo or select images from your device that you want to generate, edit, or face swap.

• Notifications – For app-related messages and updates. You can turn these off in your device settings.

• Billing – Used by the system for in-app purchases and subscriptions via Google Play; we do not read or store your payment details.

You can revoke or deny permissions in your device settings; some features may then be unavailable.

2. What data we collect and why

Photos and images you provide: When you use prompt-based generation, face swap, or custom face swap, you may capture a photo or select images from your device. These images are uploaded to our servers and to our AI processing providers only to create the result you requested. You do not need to create a username or password account to use ArtNova.

Text prompts: Any text you enter to describe or generate an image is sent to our servers and AI providers to produce your result.

Your creations: Generated results may be stored so they appear in your in-app creations and remain available for you to view, download, or share.

Content safety check: Before processing, uploaded images are checked for prohibited content (for example, nudity or sexual content). Images flagged as unsafe are blocked and not processed.

Reports: If you use the report tool (the flag icon on content or Report from Settings), you may select a reason and optionally add a short note. We may receive the content reference, image URL, report reason, and note so our team can review the content.

Feedback: If you tap Send Feedback in Settings, your device email app opens. We only receive information you choose to send us by email.

Share: If you share an image or the app using your device share menu, ArtNova does not read or store what you send through other apps unless you contact us separately.

Advertising: The app shows ads via Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to users who are not Premium subscribers. AdMob may collect data for ad delivery, analytics, and fraud prevention. You can limit or reset ad tracking in your device settings. Google advertising policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

Rewarded ads: Some styles or actions may require you to watch a rewarded ad before you can unlock or use them. This happens only when you choose that action inside the app.

Subscriptions: If you subscribe to Premium or buy credits, we receive transaction and entitlement data to manage your access. Payments are processed by Google Play; we do not store payment details.

Device, usage, and stability: We use a device identifier, approximate (country/region-level) location from your IP address, analytics, and crash reporting to operate, secure, and improve the app. This can include anonymized usage and error data.

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your activity inside the app for third-party marketing.

3. How we use your information

We use the data described above to generate and transform your images, store your creations, manage Premium subscriptions and credits, run safety checks and moderate content, operate and improve the app, show ads and measure ad performance, send notifications you have agreed to, respond to reports and support requests, and protect against misuse and fraud.

4. Content safety and moderation

ArtNova uses artificial intelligence and third-party AI models to create and transform images. We do not guarantee that every result is accurate, complete, or suitable for every purpose; results are provided "as is".

You are responsible for the photos, prompts, and content you submit, and for how you use the results. Do not use the app to create, upload, or share content that is unlawful, sexually explicit, that depicts a real person without their consent, or that is harmful, hateful, deceptive, or infringes the rights of others.

The app provides an in-app reporting tool so you can flag any content you believe violates our policies. Reports are reviewed and can lead to removal of the reported content and restriction of accounts that violate these rules. Generated images may include a label or watermark indicating they were created with AI.

5. Third-party services and their privacy policies

The app uses the following third-party services. Each may collect and process data as described in its own privacy policy:

Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) – In-app advertising. Privacy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

Firebase (Google) – Analytics, crash reporting, push notifications, and configuration. Privacy: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

6. Security

We use standard technical measures to protect data sent between your device and our systems, including encrypted transmission. No method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure.

7. How long we keep data

• Reports – Kept as long as needed to review and address the report and for safety and compliance.

• Subscription data – Retained while you use the app and as needed for legal and support purposes.

If you believe a person under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the details at the end of this policy and we will take steps to delete it.

10. When we share data

We may share information only with advertising partners for ad serving, measurement, and fraud prevention; with service providers (including AI image-processing providers) that help us operate the app, under confidentiality and use limits; or when required by law or to protect rights and safety.
