Privacy Policy
Last updated November 7, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Curtesi (“Curtesi,” “we,” “us” or “our”) collects, uses, stores, discloses and deletes personal information in connection with the Curtesi iOS application (the “App”) and this website (together, the “Service”). The Service uses artificial intelligence to generate new images from photographs that you provide. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Account information: your account identifier and the email address and name that Apple provides when you sign in with Apple. Apple may provide a private relay email address in place of your personal email address.
- Photographs: the images that you select for transformation or attach to a chat conversation.
- Prompts and chat messages: the text that you submit and the responses that the Service returns to you.
- Generated images: the images that the Service creates for you.
- Creation records: information about each generation, such as the template selected, the prompt, the aspect ratio, its status and the credits charged.
- Purchase records: your plan, purchases, refunds and credit balance. Payments are processed by Apple, and we do not receive your payment card details.
- Device and technical information: the push notification token for your device, where you permit notifications, and records required to operate and secure the Service, such as request logs and error reports.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information described above for the following purposes:
- To generate images and to respond to your chat messages.
- To deliver generated images to your device and to notify you when they are ready.
- To maintain your account, creation history and credit balance.
- To process purchases, refunds and support requests.
- To secure the Service, prevent fraud and abuse, and enforce our Terms of Use.
- To monitor costs, diagnose problems and improve the reliability of the Service.
We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your photographs to train our own artificial intelligence models, and we do not use them to identify any individual.
3. Artificial Intelligence Processing
When you request a generation, your photograph and prompt are transmitted to third-party artificial intelligence service providers for the purpose of producing the result. Chat messages are likewise transmitted to an artificial intelligence language model in order to interpret your request. You should upload only photographs that you are comfortable having processed in this manner.
4. Storage on Your Device
The App is designed to store your creations on your device rather than on our servers. Specifically:
- When you upload a photograph, the App retains a copy of it within the App’s private storage on your device.
- When a generated image is ready, the App downloads it and retains a copy within the same storage. This occurs when you open the App, when a notification is received while the App is open, or when you view the image.
- Copies held on your device are not accessible to us. They remain on your device until you delete the creation or remove the App.
- Depending on your device settings, the App’s storage may be included in your iCloud or computer backups. Such backups are governed by Apple’s terms and privacy policy, not by this Privacy Policy.
- If you choose to save an image to your photo library, or enable the optional “Auto-save to Photos” setting, the image is copied to the Photos app. The App requests permission only to add images to your photo library; it does not read your photo library. Images saved to the Photos app are outside our control and are not removed when you delete a creation in the App.
5. Data Retention and Deletion
Our servers hold photographs and generated images only for as long as necessary to provide the Service, and delete them automatically thereafter:
- Uploaded photographs are retained on our servers for up to 48 hours after they are uploaded or last used for a generation or chat, and are then permanently deleted.
- Generated images are retained on our servers for up to 7 days after they are created or last used, so that they can be delivered to your device, and are then permanently deleted.
- Incomplete uploads that are not finalized are deleted within approximately three hours.
- Creation records, prompts and chat messages are retained while your account remains active, so that your history, credits and conversations continue to function.
- Purchase records received from Apple and RevenueCat may be retained for longer periods where required for accounting, tax, legal or fraud-prevention purposes. When you delete your account, these records are kept only under a random account identifier, without your name or email address.
Deleting your account. You can delete your account at any time under Profile → Delete account in the App. Deletion takes effect immediately and is permanent: your account, photographs, generated images, creation records, prompts, chat messages, credits and push notification registrations are deleted from our servers, your customer record is deleted from RevenueCat, and the creations kept by the App on your device are removed. Remaining credits are forfeited. Deleting your account does not cancel an App Store subscription, which you manage in your device’s Settings. Copies of our database held in encrypted backups by our hosting provider are deleted automatically when those backups expire under the provider’s backup schedule.
When you delete a creation in the App, the copies on your device and the generated image on our servers are deleted promptly; the original photograph is deleted at the end of the retention period described above. Our artificial intelligence provider is instructed to retain generated results for approximately one day.
Once an image has been deleted from our servers, we are unable to restore it. If a generated image is not delivered to your device before it is deleted from our servers, it will no longer be available.
6. Service Providers and Disclosures
We share personal information only with the service providers that assist us in operating the Service:
- fal: artificial intelligence image generation and the routing of chat requests to artificial intelligence language models.
- Supabase: authentication, database services and temporary private file storage.
- Railway: hosting of our servers.
- Vercel: hosting of this website.

We may also disclose information where required by law, or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of our users, the Service or others. Our service providers may process information in the United States and in other countries.
7. Your Choices and Rights
You may delete individual creations, or your entire account, within the App at any time. You may also request access to, correction of or deletion of your personal information by contacting team@curtesi.com. Depending on your place of residence, you may have additional rights, including the right to object to or restrict certain processing and the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
8. Security
Photographs and generated images held on our servers are stored in private storage that is accessible only through your account, and information is transmitted over encrypted connections. Copies held on your device are protected by your device’s security features. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children
The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe that a minor has used the Service, please contact us and we will delete the relevant information.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the Service after an amendment takes effect constitutes your acknowledgment of the amended Privacy Policy.
