Privacy Policy
This policy describes how Materia (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, and safeguards information when you use our AI image studio platform.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us and information generated through your use of the service:
- Account data — name, email address, and password when you register.
- Payment data — billing details processed securely through Stripe. We do not store full card numbers.
- Usage data — images you upload and generate, credit balance, session history, and feature interactions.
- Technical data — IP address, browser type, device identifiers, and log data collected automatically.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use collected information to:
- Provide, operate, and improve the Materia platform.
- Process payments and manage credit balances.
- Send transactional emails (receipts, password resets, service notices).
- Detect, investigate, and prevent abuse, fraud, and policy violations.
- Comply with legal obligations.
We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
3. Content Moderation & Prohibited Content
Materia is a professional AI image platform. We maintain strict content standards to protect our users and the integrity of the service.
All uploaded and generated images are subject to automated content screening. We use moderation systems to detect and block:
- Pornographic, sexually explicit, or adult content of any kind.
- Content depicting minors in any inappropriate context.
- Graphic violence, gore, or disturbing imagery.
- Content that promotes hate, discrimination, or harm.
- Images that infringe third-party intellectual property rights.
Violations will result in immediate content removal and may lead to account suspension or termination without refund. Illegal content (including child sexual abuse material) will be reported to the relevant authorities.
By using Materia, you confirm that all content you upload is lawful and does not violate these standards.
4. Image Data & AI Processing
Images you upload are transmitted to our AI processing pipeline solely for the purpose of completing your requested generation. We do not use your images to train AI models without your explicit consent.
Generated output images are stored on our servers and associated with your account. You may delete them at any time from your dashboard. Images are automatically purged after 90 days of account inactivity.
5. Data Sharing
We share your data only with trusted service providers who help us operate the platform:
- Stripe — payment processing.
- Cloud infrastructure providers — hosting and storage.
- AI model providers — image generation processing.
All providers are contractually bound to handle your data securely and only as directed by us.
6. Data Retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required by law (e.g., financial records).
7. Security
We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, access controls, and regular security reviews. No system is perfectly secure; we encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorised access.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Request deletion of your data (“right to be forgotten”).
- Object to or restrict processing of your data.
- Data portability.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected].
9. Cookies
We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and to maintain session state. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes via email or a prominent notice on the platform. Continued use of Materia after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
