This Privacy Policy governs how Gliauk collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information when you use our image editing platform, where you can turn static photos into immersive living atmospheres by layering animated fog, drifting light particles, ethereal color washes, adjusting motion settings, and exporting stills or looping videos. By accessing or using Gliauk services, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We only collect information necessary to deliver and improve our atmospheric editing services, including the following categories:
- User Provided Content: Any images you upload to the platform for editing, custom effect settings you adjust (including motion speed, opacity, blending mode preferences, fog density, particle size, and color wash selections), and any generated still images or looping videos you choose to save to our optional cloud storage feature. If you contact our support team, we will also collect your contact information (such as email address) and any content you provide in your communication to help resolve your request.
- Automatically Collected Usage Data: Anonymous usage information including feature interaction patterns, export format preferences, effect popularity metrics, device type, operating system, and app performance data. This data is not linked to your personal identity unless you have a registered account with us.
- Account Information (Optional): If you choose to create a Gliauk account, we will collect your chosen username, email address, and any profile information you choose to add.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information exclusively for the following purposes:
- Deliver our core service: Process your uploaded images to render the animated atmospheric effects you select, save your custom effect preferences if you choose to store them for future use, and enable you to export your finished still or video content.
- Improve our product: Analyze usage patterns related to popular effect types, average adjustment ranges for motion speed and opacity, and common export formats to optimize our rendering algorithms, reduce processing time, and add new features that align with user preferences.
- Provide support: Respond to your feedback, bug reports, or feature requests sent to our support team.
- Send service updates: If you opt in to communications, we will send you notifications about new effect releases, platform updates, or exclusive creative tips related to Gliauk. You can opt out of these communications at any time.
- Meet legal obligations: Comply with applicable legal requirements, respond to valid legal requests, and protect the rights, property, and safety of Gliauk, our users, and the public.
3. Data Storage and Retention
We prioritize minimal data retention to protect your privacy:
- Uploaded source images are automatically deleted from our processing servers 24 hours after you complete your editing session, unless you explicitly choose to save the original image to your personal Gliauk cloud library.
- Generated content (stills and looping videos) is never stored on our servers unless you choose to share the content publicly to the Gliauk community or save it to your personal cloud library.
- You may delete any content saved to your cloud library at any time, and all copies will be permanently erased from our systems within 72 hours of your deletion request, with no residual backups retained.
- Anonymous usage data is retained in aggregate form for up to 12 months for product improvement purposes.
4. Third Party Sharing
We will never sell, rent, or lease your personal information or uploaded content to third parties for marketing purposes. We only share your information in the following limited cases:
- Trusted service providers who assist us in operating our platform, such as cloud hosting providers, payment processors (if you purchase premium features), and customer support tools. All third-party service providers are bound by strict privacy obligations and are prohibited from using your personal information for any purpose other than providing services to Gliauk.
- When required by applicable law, or to respond to valid legal requests from authorized authorities.
- In connection with a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case you will be notified of any change in ownership and new privacy terms before your data is transferred.
5. Your Rights
