Last updated: April 23, 2026

2 Information We Collect

2.1 On-Device Processing (default)

Most of CleanCut's AI features — Remove Background, Auto Enhance, shadow generation, background blur, auto-crop, and all image editing — run entirely on your device. Your photos do not leave your device for those features. We do not receive copies, thumbnails, or derivatives of your personal files.

2.2 Cloud Processing (Magic Eraser only)

The Magic Eraser feature requires cloud processing. When you paint over objects and tap Apply, we transmit the image you selected together with the mask you painted to our image-processing service. The result is returned to your device, and the submitted image is retained only long enough to complete the request. We do not:

• Use your images to train machine-learning models;
• Sell, rent, or share your images with third parties for marketing;
• Retain your images after the processing window closes.

You can avoid cloud processing entirely by not using the Magic Eraser feature. All other editing tools remain fully on-device.

2.3 Third-Party Services and SDKs

CleanCut integrates the following third-party services:

Firebase (Google) — Analytics, Remote Config, Crashlytics, Cloud Messaging. Collects: app usage events, device model, OS version, coarse region, crash stack traces, and non-personal installation identifiers (Firebase Installation ID).

Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) — Displays advertisements to users on the free tier. Collects: advertising identifier (IDFA, where permitted), coarse location, device information. Pro subscribers do not see ads, and associated data collection is suppressed accordingly.

Airbridge — Attribution and install-campaign analytics. Collects: device identifiers, IP address, installation and engagement events.

Each service is governed by its own privacy policy. AAAI Studio LLC is not responsible for their individual practices. We include only the services strictly needed to operate the App.

2.4 Purchases and Subscriptions

Subscriptions and one-time purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store and Apple's StoreKit framework. We receive only the product identifier (e.g. weekly, monthly, yearly, lifetime), purchase date, and expiration date for the purpose of activating Pro features on your device. We do not receive your Apple ID, credit-card number, billing address, or full receipt data.

2.5 Website Analytics

Our website may use Google Analytics 4 to measure traffic and performance. Where required, we will ask for your consent before storing or reading non-essential analytics cookies.

2.6 Support Communications

When you contact us for support, we process your name, email address, message content, and any technical information you voluntarily provide, in order to respond to your request.

2.7 Children's Data

CleanCut is not directed to children under the age of 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

3 Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

We process personal data based on the following legal grounds:

Contract — To provide core App functionality and manage subscriptions.

Legitimate interests — For App maintenance, fraud prevention, abuse rate-limiting, and legal protection.

Consent — For analytics and advertising that require device identifiers. You may withdraw consent at any time via iOS App Tracking Transparency prompts or device settings.

Legal obligation — To comply with accounting, tax, and other regulatory requirements.

4 How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

• Provide and maintain core App features;
• Deliver Magic Eraser cloud processing when you request it;
• Validate purchases and manage Pro entitlements;
• Enforce daily-usage limits on the free tier;
• Monitor App performance and diagnose crashes;
• Measure marketing campaign effectiveness;
• Respond to support requests;
• Comply with legal obligations.

5 Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy. On-device data is governed by your device settings and removed when you delete the App. Images submitted to Magic Eraser are discarded after the processing request completes. Third-party partners maintain their own retention policies. Support communications are retained for a reasonable period to ensure quality service.

6 Information Sharing

We may share information with:

Service providers — Third-party SDKs and tools described in Section 2.3, solely to provide their services on our behalf.

Legal authorities — When required by law, regulation, or legal process.

Business transfers — In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.

7 International Data Transfers

Our third-party service providers may process data outside your country of residence. Where required by law, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.

8 Your Rights (EEA/UK Residents)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the right to:

Access — Request a copy of your personal data.

Rectification — Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.

Erasure — Request deletion of your data in certain circumstances.

Restriction — Request restricted processing of your data.

Data portability — Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

Object — Object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Withdraw consent — Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

10 Security

We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) for all network communications and minimum-access policies for internal systems. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11 Third-Party Links

CleanCut may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

12 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated through the App or via email where appropriate. Your continued use of CleanCut after any changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
