Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 20, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Wei Wenxin ("Developer", "we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the MofuArt (もふアート) mobile application ("App"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data transparently.

1. Information We Collect

We do NOT collect: your name, email address, phone number, location data, contacts, or any other personally identifiable information beyond what is listed above.

2. How We Use Your Photos

When you upload a pet photo, it is:

1. Compressed and resized on your device
2. Transmitted via HTTPS to our secure backend server (hosted on Google Cloud Platform, Tokyo region)
3. Forwarded to Google's Gemini API for AI-powered art generation in your selected style (e.g., Ukiyo-e, Watercolor, Oil Painting, Anime, etc.)
4. The generated artwork is returned to you and the original photo is immediately discarded

We do not store, log, or retain your photos on our servers. Photos exist in server memory only during the brief processing period (typically under 30 seconds).

3. Third-Party Services

We share data with the following third-party services. Each service processes data in accordance with its own privacy policy:

By using this App, you acknowledge and consent to the transmission of your photos to Google's Gemini API for the purpose of AI-powered art generation. Google processes this data in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy.

4. Data Security

• All data transmission uses HTTPS/TLS encryption
• Our backend server runs on Google Cloud Run in the Tokyo region (asia-northeast1)
• No user photos or personal data are stored in our database
• API keys are stored in Google Cloud Secret Manager, never in client code

5. Data Retention

• Photos: Not retained — processed in real time and immediately discarded
• Usage data: Stored on-device only; deleted when you uninstall the App
• Purchase data: Managed by Apple; follows Apple's data retention policies

6. Your Rights
