Privacy Policy
This privacy policy applies to the CarTune AI app (hereby referred to as "Application") for mobile devices that was created by BARIŞ KAYGISIZER (hereby referred to as "Service Provider") as a Freemium service. This service is intended for use "AS IS".
Information Collection and Use
The Application collects the following types of information when you download and use it:
- Your device's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address)
- The pages of the Application that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages
- The time spent on the Application
- The operating system you use on your mobile device
- Photos/images you upload — Vehicle photos that you voluntarily provide for AI image processing (see "Third-Party AI Image Processing" section below)
- User ID — A unique identifier created when you use the Application
The Application does not gather precise information about the location of your mobile device.
The Application uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies to provide its core car-modification features. Specifically, when you use the image generation feature, the photos you upload are sent to a third-party AI service (Replicate, Inc.) for processing. Details on exactly what data is sent, to whom, and how your consent is obtained are described in the "Third-Party AI Image Processing" section below.
For a better experience, while using the Application, the Service Provider may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to userId and uploaded images. The information that the Service Provider requests will be retained by them and used as described in this privacy policy.
Handling of Uploaded Images
To provide the core car modification features, the Application requires users to upload photos of vehicles. These images are transmitted securely to our servers and then forwarded to Replicate, Inc. (a third-party AI image processing service) solely for the purpose of applying the requested AI visual transformations and generating the modified image.
We explicitly state that:
- We do not use your uploaded images to train, retrain, or improve our base AI models.
- We do not claim any ownership over the images you upload.
- Uploaded images and their generated results are kept on our servers only for a short, temporary period necessary to deliver the result to your device, after which they are permanently deleted.
- Replicate, Inc. processes the images solely for the purpose of generating the requested output and does not retain them for model training.
Third-Party AI Image Processing
The Application relies on a third-party AI service to generate modified car images. Below is a clear summary of how your data is handled in this process:
What Data Is Sent
When you use the image generation feature, the following data is transmitted to the third-party AI service:
- The vehicle photo(s) you upload — The image(s) you select from your photo library or camera are sent to the AI service for visual transformation.
- A text prompt describing the desired style — A system-generated description of the visual modification you selected (e.g., style name, modification parameters). This does not contain any personally identifiable information.
No other personal data (such as your name, email, location, contacts, or device identifiers) is sent to the AI service.
Who the Data Is Sent To
Your uploaded images and the associated text prompts are sent to Replicate, Inc., a third-party AI infrastructure provider based in San Francisco, CA, USA. Replicate hosts and runs the AI models that perform the image transformations. You can review Replicate's privacy policy at https://replicate.com/privacy.
How Your Consent Is Obtained
Before any image data is sent to the third-party AI service for the first time, the Application presents a clear, in-app consent prompt that:
- Explains that your uploaded vehicle photo will be sent to a third-party AI service (Replicate, Inc.) for image processing.
- Describes what data will be transmitted (your photo and a style description).
- Requires you to explicitly agree before proceeding.
You may decline this consent, in which case the image will not be sent and the AI-powered feature will not be used. As the Application's core functionality is built around AI-powered image generation, declining consent means you will not be able to use the image generation features. If you no longer wish your data to be processed, you may stop using the Application at any time.
Data Protection by the Third Party
Replicate, Inc. processes your data in accordance with their privacy policy and applicable data protection laws. They do not use the images submitted through our Application for training their AI models. Images are processed transiently and are not retained after the generated result is delivered.
Third Party Access
Only aggregated, anonymized data is periodically transmitted to external services to aid the Service Provider in improving the Application and their service. The Service Provider may share your information with third parties in the ways that are described in this privacy statement.
