What happens to my photo?
It stays in your account until you delete it, one at a time or with your whole account. If you don't sign in for 24 months and have no plan running, we delete your account and your photos with it, and email you 30 days before. We use it to make your edit and to check it for abuse, and never to train AI models. Privacy policy
