At Ruthimg, we are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect information when you visit our website, use our AI image generation services, or interact with ruthimg.com (the “Site” or “Services”).

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

Communications: emails, support messages, or feedback you send us.

Device and usage data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, pages visited, time spent, referral sources, and interaction logs.
Cookies and similar technologies: We and our partners use cookies, pixels, web beacons, and similar tools for functionality, analytics, and advertising (detailed in Section 6).

c. Generated Content

AI-generated images and any associated metadata (e.g., prompt history, generation settings). We may store these temporarily or persistently depending on your account settings and our service needs.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information (e.g., racial/ethnic origin, health data, political opinions) unless you voluntarily include it in prompts or uploads—in which case you are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable laws.

2. How We Use Your Information. We use collected information to:

Provide, maintain, and improve the Services (e.g., process prompts, generate images, personalize features).
Analyze usage trends and enhance AI model performance (anonymized/aggregated where possible).
Communicate with you (e.g., respond to inquiries, send service updates).
Prevent fraud, abuse, or violations of our Terms of Service.
Comply with legal obligations.
Serve personalized or contextual advertisements (via third parties like Google AdSense).

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data:

With service providers (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics tools, payment processors—if applicable) who help operate the Site under strict confidentiality.
With third-party ad networks (including Google) for displaying ads (see Section 6).
If required by law, court order, or to protect rights, safety, or property.
In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Generated images you create are yours to use (subject to our Terms), but if you share them publicly on the Site (e.g., gallery/community features), others may view/download them.

4. Data Storage and Security. We store data on secure servers, primarily in [region, e.g., EU/US/cloud provider regions].

We use industry-standard measures (encryption, access controls) to protect information, but no system is 100% secure. You use the Services at your own risk. We retain data as long as needed for the purposes above, your account is active, or required by law. Prompt histories and generated images may be retained for service improvement unless you delete them (where available).

Access, correct, update, or delete your data.
Opt out of certain processing (e.g., marketing).
Withdraw consent where processing is consent-based.
