Your privacy is
our promise
We built Paw Portrait with one belief: your pet's photos and AI model belong to you โ not to us, not to anyone else. Here's exactly what that means in plain English.
"Your photos are used for one purpose only: creating your portraits. We will never sell, share, or license your images or your pet's AI model to anyone. Your portraits are completely private โ only you can access them."
๐ธ Your photos
When you upload photos of your pet, they are sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection directly to our secure servers. We use 256-bit AES encryption for storage.
- Photos are used only to train your personal AI model
- Never viewed by employees except to investigate a reported technical issue, with your explicit permission
- Never used to train shared or public AI systems
- Never sold, licensed, or shared with any third party
- Automatically and permanently deleted 30 days after your portraits are delivered
You can request earlier deletion at any time โ see the deletion section below.
๐ง Your pet's AI model
We train a personal AI model โ called a LoRA โ that captures the unique appearance of your pet. This model is private to you.
- Your AI model is stored under your unique job ID โ no one else can access it
- Standard plan: model is deleted after portrait delivery
- Premium plan: model is saved for 1 year, then deleted
- Subscribe plan: model is saved indefinitely while your subscription is active
- Your model is never shared, licensed, or merged into public AI systems
๐ผ๏ธ Your portraits
Your finished portraits are stored in a private gallery accessible only via your unique job link. We don't require an account โ your link is your key.
- Portraits are accessible only via your private link โ not indexed or publicly searchable
- Links use cryptographically random IDs โ they cannot be guessed
- We do not display your portraits publicly or use them in marketing without explicit written consent
- Portraits are stored for at least 90 days from delivery
๐ซ What we never do
- Never sell your photos, AI model, or portraits to data brokers or third parties
- Never use your pet's photos to train shared or public AI models
- Never share your data with advertisers
- Never display your portraits publicly without your consent
- Never require you to create an account or provide more data than needed
- Never retain your original photos longer than 30 days after delivery
๐ Third-party services
We use a small number of trusted third-party services to operate Paw Portrait:
- fal.ai โ runs the AI training and image generation. Your photos are sent to their secure servers under a data processing agreement that prohibits them from using your data for any purpose other than your job.
- Cloud storage โ your uploads and portraits are stored in encrypted cloud storage with access restricted to your job ID.
- Payment processing โ handled by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
We do not use advertising networks, tracking pixels, or analytics that share data with third parties.
๐๏ธ Deleting your data
You can request full deletion of all your data at any time โ photos, AI model, and portraits. We will confirm deletion within 24 hours.
