We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, when we share it, and the choices and rights you have. It applies to everyone who uses or interacts with the Services.

1) Data we collect

We collect the following categories of information:

A) Data you provide directly

  • Account data: name, email address, password (hashed), country/locale, role (if provided).
  • Training photos: images you upload to create your personal model (plus basic metadata like filename, upload time).
  • Prompts & references: text prompts, titles, tags, reference image selections/IDs used for generation.
  • Generated outputs: images produced in your account and stored with us until you delete them.
  • Billing & transactions: plan type, invoices/receipts, amounts, currency, timestamps (we do not store full card numbers).
  • Communications: messages you send to support, survey responses, WhatsApp opt‑ins, and preferences.

B) Data collected automatically

  • Device/usage: IP address, device type, OS, browser version, time zone, language, page views, feature usage, clicks, scrolls, session duration, referring URLs/UTM parameters, error logs.
  • Diagnostics & security: pseudonymous device identifiers, rate‑limit and anti‑abuse signals, login timestamps, and similar telemetry needed to keep the Services reliable and secure.

C) Data from third parties (limited)

  • Payments: Payment processors may provide transaction confirmations, fraud risk signals, and partial billing data (e.g., last4 digits, card brand).
  • Messaging: WhatsApp or similar channels provide delivery/engagement status for messages we send to you.

See our Cookies & Data Policy for details on cookies, local storage, and analytics controls.

2) How we use your data (purposes)

We use personal data to:

  • Provide the Services: create and operate your account, process prompts, generate/store your images, and deliver features (packs, extension, WhatsApp prompts).
  • Security & integrity: authenticate users, prevent fraud/abuse, enforce content rules, and ensure service availability.
  • Payments: process purchases, issue invoices, manage credits/subscriptions, and handle account‑related communications.
  • Product improvement: debug errors, measure performance, run A/B tests, and improve rendering quality/likeness/safety (using aggregate or de‑identified data where feasible).
  • Communications: send transactional emails/WhatsApp messages (receipts, training status, low credits, renewal notices) and, with your consent where required, product tips and updates.
  • Compliance: meet legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, and enforce our Terms.

We do not build behavioral advertising profiles on looktara.com and do not run third‑party advertising cookies.

For rules governing use of the Services, please see our Terms of Use.

3) Our legal bases for processing (where applicable)

  • Contract: to provide and support the Services you request (account, generation, payments).
  • Legitimate interests: security, fraud prevention, service improvement, and analytics (balanced with your rights).
  • Consent: non‑essential cookies/analytics, WhatsApp prompts, and certain regional requirements.
  • Legal obligation: tax, accounting, and responses to lawful requests.

4) Sharing and disclosures

We do not sell your personal data. We share data only with:

  • Service providers (processors): secure cloud/hosting, storage/CDN, payment processing, messaging (e.g., WhatsApp), security/anti‑abuse, logging, and customer support tooling. These providers access data only to perform services for us under contract and confidentiality.
  • Professional advisors: lawyers, accountants, auditors under confidentiality.
  • Authorities: when required by law or to protect rights, safety, or integrity of the Services.
  • Business transfers: in a merger, acquisition, or reorganization, your data may transfer under the same protections.

We avoid naming vendors in public docs; a current list of typical sub‑processor categories is available on request.

5) International transfers

We operate globally and may process data in countries different from yours. When we transfer personal data internationally, we use legally recognized safeguards (e.g., contractual protections) and technical measures to protect it.

6) Data retention

We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes above:

  • Account data & settings: kept while your account is active; deleted or anonymized within a reasonable time after closure.
  • Training photos & outputs: stored until you delete them or request deletion; backups may persist for 30–90 days.
  • Prompts/references: stored as part of your account history until deleted.
  • Analytics/diagnostics logs: retained up to 13 months (or longer only where required for security or legal reasons).
  • Billing records & invoices: retained as required by law (e.g., tax/accounting) which may be 7–8 years in some regions.
  • Support communications: typically retained up to 24 months to track resolution and improve service.

7) Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the data, including encryption in transit, access controls, least‑privilege, environment isolation, and abuse monitoring. No system can be 100% secure; you are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and using strong passwords and secure devices.
