Privacy Policy

What PNGTuberMaker collects, what is sent to our AI providers, and how to delete it

2026/08/30

This policy explains what PNGTuberMaker (pngtubermaker.net) collects, what we do with it, and who else sees it. It is written to be read, not to be survived.

PNGTuberMaker is built and run by an independent developer, not a company, and that person is the controller of your personal data. For anything in this policy — including a request to see or delete what we hold — email support@pngtubermaker.net.

The one thing to know first

When you generate a character, your prompt is sent to a third-party AI company. It has to be — we do not run image models ourselves. The section Prompts and images go to AI providers names exactly who receives it and what they get. If you would not be comfortable with a prompt leaving our servers, do not submit it.

What we collect

From your Google account, when you sign in. Sign-in is Google only. Google gives us your name, your email address, your profile picture and your Google account identifier. We also store the sign-in tokens Google issues, so you stay signed in. We never receive your Google password.

What you type. Your prompts, the character names and options you choose, the model and resolution you pick, and the drafts you leave unfinished.

What you generate. The PNG frames the AI provider returns, plus the generation record behind them — which model ran, when, whether it succeeded, and what it cost in credits.

What you buy. Which credit pack or plan you bought, when, the amount, and the identifiers our payment provider gives us for the transaction. For a plan we also keep its status and the start and end dates of the period you are in, so the site can show you what you are on. We never see or store your card number, expiry date or security code.

A profile picture, if you upload one. Optional; it replaces the picture Google gave us.

Ordinary technical data. IP address, browser and device type, and request logs, kept for security, abuse prevention and debugging. Our servers do not write your prompts into these logs.

We do not buy personal data from anyone, and we do not sell yours.

Prompts and images go to AI providers

To generate an image, we send your request to Kie (kie.ai), an AI model platform, which runs it on the model you selected. Today those models are:

  • the GPT Image 2 family, from OpenAI
  • the Nano Banana family, from Google
  • Recraft's background-removal model, which we use on a generated image when it comes back without a transparent background

Each family covers both the model that makes a character from text and the one that makes further frames from an image you already generated, so a frame pack reaches the same family as the character it came from.

What is sent with your request:

  • your prompt text, wrapped in our own instructions
  • the aspect ratio, resolution and output format you chose
  • when a generation starts from an image — for example when you remix a character you already made here, or generate more frames of it — a temporary link to that image in our storage. The link expires after one hour.
  • a callback address so the provider can tell us the job finished. It contains a random one-time value, nothing about you.

What is not sent: your name, your email address, your Google identifier, or anything about your credit balance or payments. One caveat, stated plainly: the temporary image link above contains our own internal account identifier as part of its path. It is a random internal string — not an email, not a name — but it is technically an identifier, and we would rather tell you than not.

These companies process your prompt under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not control how long they keep it or whether they use it to improve their own models — that is their policy, not ours. If that matters to you, read theirs before you generate.

Who else processes your data

WhoWhat they doWhat they get
GoogleSign-inYour sign-in with them; they tell us your name, email and picture
Kie (kie.ai)Runs AI image generation on OpenAI, Google and Recraft modelsPrompts, generation settings, temporary image links
StripePaymentsYour name, email, our internal account id, and your card details, which go straight to Stripe and never touch our servers
Cloudflare (R2)Stores generated imagesThe image files

We use no advertising networks, no data brokers and no cross-site trackers.

Where it is stored, and how it is protected

Generated images live in a private Cloudflare R2 bucket that is not publicly readable. There is no public URL for your images. When you view or download one, we check that the account asking owns it and then issue a signed link that expires in five minutes.

Your profile picture is whatever your Google account provides, served by Google. We do not host it.

Everything else lives in our PostgreSQL database, hosted by Supabase. Access is restricted to the running application and to the one developer who operates it.

Prompts and signed image links are deliberately kept out of our server logs and error reports.

Your data is processed in the United States and in other countries where the providers listed above operate. If you are in the UK, EU or EEA, that means your data is transferred outside your country; we rely on those providers' standard contractual clauses and equivalent safeguards.

No system is perfectly secure, and we will not pretend otherwise. If a breach affects your data, we will tell you.

Why we are allowed to process it

If you are in the UK, EU or EEA, our legal bases are:

  • Performance of a contract — your account, your prompts, your generated images, your credit balance. We cannot run the service without them.
  • Legitimate interests — security, fraud and abuse prevention, and keeping the service working. We keep this to what is necessary.
  • Legal obligation — where the law requires us to keep or produce something.

We do not run advertising or profiling, so we do not rely on consent for it.

How long we keep it

While your account exists, we keep it. Your prompt history and generated characters are kept because they are the product — you come back to revisit, download and remix them. We do not currently delete them on a fixed schedule.

When you delete your account — from Settings → Security — we delete your account record, your prompts and drafts, your character and generation records, and your credit and payment records from our database.

Three honest exceptions:

  1. The generated image files themselves stay in our storage until you ask us to remove them. Deleting your account removes every record that points at them, so nobody can reach them through the site — but the files are not erased automatically. Email support@pngtubermaker.net and we will delete them.
  2. Stripe keeps its own record of your payments, under its own retention rules and its legal obligations as a payment institution. We cannot delete those for you. The same applies to whatever our AI providers retain about a request we sent them.
  3. Our record of the payment messages Stripe sent us stays in the billing log we keep for reconciliation. Those messages come from Stripe and carry Stripe's own customer id, the email on the payment and the amount. They contain none of your prompts or images. Ask us and we will remove them.

Backups and server logs roll off on their own schedule and are not searched to resurrect deleted data.

Your rights

Whoever and wherever you are, you can ask us to:

  • give you a copy of the data we hold about you
  • correct anything wrong
  • delete your account and its data, and delete your stored image files
  • export your generated images
  • stop processing you object to, or restrict it while a complaint is open

Delete and export you can do yourself: account deletion is in Settings → Security, and your characters are downloadable from your history. For anything else, email support@pngtubermaker.net. We will respond within one month, and we will not charge you for it.

If you are in the UK, EU or EEA and you are not satisfied with our answer, you can complain to your national data protection authority. We would rather you came to us first.

Children

PNGTuberMaker is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has created an account, email us and we will delete it.

Cookies

See the Cookie Policy. Short version: the only cookies this site sets are the ones needed to keep you signed in and to remember your interface preferences. We run no analytics or advertising cookies.

Changes

We may update this policy. When we do, we change the date at the top of this page. If a change materially affects what happens to your data — a new AI provider, a new category of data, a new purpose — we will say so before it takes effect rather than quietly editing the page.
