Privacy Policy

The controller responsible for the processing of data in relation to the mobile application OpenPix: Free AI Photos pursuant to Article 4 (7) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

OpenPix is engineered from the ground up on the principle of strict data minimization. We believe AI photo generation should be accessible, creative, and completely private:

• No User Account: No sign-up, registration, email address, password, or Google/Apple account linking is required.
• No Personal Identifiers: We do not collect names, phone numbers, location data, or contact lists.
• On-Device Photo Storage: Generated pictures reside temporarily on our inference pipeline to deliver them to your screen. Photos are only saved permanently to your device gallery when you choose to click "Save to Gallery".

When you enter a text description (Prompt) and select an aspect ratio (e.g. 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 9:16), these parameters are transmitted over secure, encrypted TLS/HTTPS channels to our backend API.

To generate high-quality photos, the prompt is forwarded via an encrypted API connection to the GPU inference infrastructure of Fal.ai (Fal, Inc.). Processing is volatile and ephemeral: inputs are computed in GPU memory to render the image and are not combined with personal user identifiers or utilized for advertising profiling.

In order to provide OpenPix and its high-performance AI image generation 100% free of charge to all users without requiring a paid subscription, our web application and mobile apps integrate advertising through Google AdSense (web version) and Google AdMob (mobile app) operated by Google Ireland Limited (for users in the EEA/Switzerland) and Google LLC (for other regions).

Google AdSense and AdMob may process device identifiers (such as cookies, advertising IDs, or IDFA), IP addresses, and interaction metrics to serve relevant ads, prevent ad fraud, and measure ad performance.

You can manage or restrict personalized advertising at any time via your browser settings or Google Ad Settings. On mobile devices, you can adjust tracking in your system preferences (Settings > Google > Ads on Android). For more details, refer to Google's Privacy & Advertising Policies at:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads

To ensure community safety, prevent misuse of AI technologies, and adhere to app store policies, OpenPix contains an integrated Content Reporting feature (Report Button on result screens).

When you submit a report regarding an objectionable image:

• We receive the technical Request ID of the generation.
• The selected report category: Sexual Content Violence Hate Speech Self-Harm Other
• An optional explanation text provided by you (maximum 300 characters).

This data is processed strictly for the purpose of safety audits, model guardrails improvements, and abuse prevention based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

To operate OpenPix securely, reliably, and globally, we rely on trusted infrastructure providers:

• Hetzner Online GmbH / Cloudflare: Server hosting and secure API gateway for request orchestration.
• Fal.ai (Fal, Inc.): Accelerated GPU compute nodes for executing diffusion-based photo rendering models.
• Google Firebase: Anonymous crash reporting and performance monitoring to diagnose app stability issues.

Temporary generation records and transient API logs are automatically purged or anonymized. If you tap the "Discard" button in the app, the generated photo is removed from your session view. Since no user accounts exist, no persistent personal databases are created.

Under European data protection law (GDPR), you hold fundamental rights regarding any data that might relate to you:

• Right of Access (Art. 15 GDPR): Request confirmation whether and what data is processed.
• Right to Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR): Request correction of inaccurate information.
• Right to Erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): Request deletion of stored data.
• Right to Restriction of Processing (Art. 18 GDPR) & Right to Object (Art. 21 GDPR).
• Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (e.g., Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen - LDI NRW).

Please note: Because OpenPix does not store names or email accounts, requests regarding specific transactions require supplying the technical transaction identifier.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect new features, technical enhancements, or legal requirements. The latest version will always be accessible through this URL and linked inside the OpenPix app.
