Privacy Policy.

Last updated: February 27, 2026

Children's privacy. StudioShots is designed for use by parents and guardians on behalf of their children. We comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verified parental consent.

1. Who we are

StudioShots ("we," "our," or "us") is operated by Constructive Creativity LLC. StudioShots is a mobile application that allows parents and guardians to create AI generated themed photos of their children.

2. Information we collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to provide our service:

Account information: Email address, display name, and authentication credentials when you create an account (via email, Apple Sign In, or Google Sign In).
Photos: Photos you upload for AI themed generation. These are stored securely in cloud storage linked to your account.
Generated images: AI generated themed photos created from your uploads.
Purchase history: Records of credit pack purchases made through Apple's In App Purchase system.
Usage analytics: Anonymous, non personally identifiable usage data (screens viewed, features used) collected via Aptabase, a privacy first analytics service that collects zero PII.

3. How we use your information

To create your account and authenticate you securely.
To generate AI themed photos from photos you upload.
To manage your credit balance and purchase history.
To improve app stability via anonymous error reports (Sentry).
To understand aggregate usage patterns via anonymous analytics (Aptabase).

4. AI photo generation

When you upload a photo and select a theme, your photo is sent to Google's Gemini AI service for processing. The AI generates new themed versions of the photo. Important details:

Photos are transmitted securely via encrypted connections.
Google processes photos solely for image generation and does not use them for training AI models.
Generated photos are stored in your private account gallery.
You can delete your photos and generated images at any time.

StudioShots is intended for use by parents and legal guardians. We take children's privacy seriously:

We require parental consent before any photo of a child is uploaded or processed.
We do not collect personal information directly from children.
We do not display targeted advertising.
We do not share children's photos with third parties for marketing purposes.
Parents can request deletion of all data associated with their account at any time.
Our analytics service (Aptabase) is COPPA safe and collects zero personally identifiable information.

6. Data storage and security

All data is stored on Google Firebase (Firestore database, Cloud Storage) with encryption at rest and in transit.
Authentication is handled by Firebase Auth with industry standard security practices.
Photos are stored in private, user scoped storage paths that cannot be accessed by other users.
Payment processing is handled entirely by Apple's In App Purchase system. We never see or store your payment details.

You can delete individual sessions and their associated photos from the app.
You can request complete deletion of all your data using the "Delete My Data" feature in the app's settings.
Upon account deletion, all personal data, photos, and generated images are permanently deleted immediately.

9. Data sharing
