Privacy Policy

At IYH.AI, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your creative work and personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our AI-powered trending style transformation platform.

As a platform that empowers creators to "Instantly access Your Hot-styles," we understand the importance of keeping your creative content secure and giving you control over your data while helping you stay ahead of viral trends.

1. Information We Collect

Creator Account Information

When you create your IYH.AI creator account, we collect:

• Name and email address
• Profile picture (optional)
• Creator username and display preferences
• Payment information (processed securely by Stripe)
• Communication preferences and social media platform interests
• Trend notification preferences

Information from Third-Party Authentication Services (e.g., Google Sign-In)

You may choose to create an account or log in to IYH.AI using third-party authentication services, such as Google Sign-In (facilitated through Supabase, our authentication provider). If you choose to use Google Sign-In, we will collect and process information made available to us by Google via Supabase, based on your Google account permissions. This typically includes:

• Your name
• Your email address
• Your Google account ID (or equivalent)
• Your profile picture (if available and permitted)

We use this information solely for the purposes of creating and authenticating your IYH.AI account, personalizing your experience (such as displaying your name and profile picture), and communicating with you. We do not request or access any Google data beyond what is necessary for these purposes (typically 'email' and 'profile' scopes).

Our use of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. This means we will not use this data for serving advertisements, transfer it to data brokers, or for any purposes other than providing or improving user-facing features prominent in our application's user interface.
