This is the Privacy Policy of apps of Matlub Yazılım A.Ş. and its various & next versions (hereinafter collectively referred to as "us", "we", or "our") and is incorporated into and is subjected to our Terms of Use which can be found at https://www.matlubapps.com/terms.html . In this Privacy Policy, we refer to our products and services as the "Service". Please read on to learn more about our data handling practices. Your use of the Service signifies that you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Service.
We may collect and gather non-personally identifiable information, such as certain profile information including country of residence and preferences. In addition, we may collect and store information about your and others’ usage of and interaction with the Service and our websites, including matches, numbers of matches made by members, match durations, text messages, usage by geographies, device and connection information, IP address, device capability, bandwidth, statistics on page views, network type and traffic to and from our websites.
Some of our apps, including our AI image and video generation apps, allow you to submit prompts, text descriptions and images ("Content") so that we can generate new AI-created images and videos for you. If you choose to use these features, your Content may contain personal data (for example, photos of you or other people, or text that includes personal details). We process this Content only for the purpose of generating and delivering the requested images or videos and for maintaining the security and reliability of the Service.
Our application allows you to: (i) generate images from text prompts; (ii) generate images from another image uploaded by you; and (iii) generate videos from images uploaded by you. If you choose to do so, your uploaded images and the AI-generated outputs may be temporarily stored on our servers so that we can process your request and display the results to you. These images and videos are not shared with other users and are used only to generate the content you requested and to provide the Service to you, except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy (for example, where needed for security, legal compliance or abuse prevention).
We also collect usage information of our apps annimously to improve our Service.
We also collect error-reporting information anonimously if the Service crashes so that we can investigate the error and improve the stability of the Service for future releases. In general these reports do not contain personally identifiable information, or only incidentally. As part of these error reports, we receive information about the type and version of your device, the device identifier, the time the error occurred, the feature being used and the state of the application when the error occurred. We do not use this information for any purpose other than investigating and fixing the error.
When you request an AI-generated image or video, the app sends your Content to our third-party AI model providers strictly to perform the requested generation. This may include:
- The images you upload, any reference images and your text prompts, which are sent to our contracted AI generation providers so that they can generate the requested images or videos.
- Technical and diagnostic data (such as device identifiers, app version, crash logs and performance metrics), which may be sent to analytics and crash-reporting providers (for example, Firebase / Crashlytics or similar services) to help us monitor the stability and performance of the app.
These third parties act as our service providers and are contractually or commercially required to protect your data and to use it only to provide their services to us. Your Content is not used by Matlub Yazılım A.Ş. to train our own models, and we do not sell your personal data.
Your images, videos and text prompts are not stored by us longer than necessary to perform the generation, return the results to you, maintain the security of the Service (for example, to detect abuse or fraud), or as needed to allow you to access your generated content from within the app. We take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize such Content after this period. Technical logs and analytics data may be retained for a longer period as needed for security, troubleshooting and legal obligations, but are not used to identify you personally except where required to protect our Service or comply with law.
Before any image, video or text is sent from your device to our third-party AI providers, the app displays an in-app explanation of what data will be sent, for what purpose and to which types of providers (AI model providers and analytics/crash-reporting providers). By choosing to start the generation (for example by tapping a clearly labelled button such as "Agree and Generate"), you give us your permission to send this data and to have it processed as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you can cancel the action and your Content will not be sent to those providers.
We will not rent or sell your information to third parties without your consent, except as noted in this Privacy Policy.
