• User Content and Inputs: Prompts, text, images, video, files, or data you upload or submit for AI generation (“Inputs”).
• Generated Outputs: AI-produced content based on your Inputs (“Outputs”), which may include metadata tied to your account.
• Communications: Inquiries, feedback, support requests, or survey responses sent via email, chat, or forms.

We do not collect sensitive personal information (e.g., health, biometric, or political data) unless voluntarily provided in Inputs, in which case you are responsible for compliance.

AI-Specific Collection: Inputs and Outputs are processed by our generative AI models. We may retain anonymized versions for debugging and aggregated insights, but specific personal data in Outputs is tied to your account only.
