The short version
- We use your photos for one thing: drawing the coloring pages and books you ask for.
- We never sell your photos or your details, never use them in advertising, and never use them to train AI models.
- You can download everything we hold about you, and delete your account and all of it, from the Account page at any time.
- We keep the original photo for 30 days after a page is finished, then delete it. The drawings stay until you delete them.
Who we are
Picture to Story (p2st.studio) is operated by AI Playgrounds, based in Australia. We are the data controller for the personal data described here. Questions go to p2st@aiplaygrounds.xyz.
What we collect
Photos you upload
Photos of your family, friends, pets or anything else you choose. They often show faces, including children's faces. You confirm, each time you upload, that you own the photo or have permission to use it, and that you are a parent or guardian of any child in it, or have the parent's permission.
What you tell us about the picture
Names, notes and ideas you type or dictate so the drawing comes out right, for example "Maya, age 7, loves horses". If you use the microphone, the recording is transcribed and then discarded; we keep the text, not the audio.
Your account
Your email address, the sign-in codes we send to it, when you signed in, and your credit balance. We do not ask for a password, a name or a date of birth.
Purchases
Which packs or plan you bought, when, and the price. Apple handles the payment itself. We never see your card number.
Technical details
The usual server logs: IP address, browser type, pages requested, errors. We use them to keep the service running and safe. We do not run third-party analytics or advertising trackers.
How we use it
- To draw your pages and books, show them to you, and let you print or download them.
- To sign you in and send you the "your page is ready" email you asked for.
- To keep count of your credits and apply your purchases.
- To stop abuse, for example uploads that break our terms.
- To answer you when you write to us.
We do not use your content to train or improve AI models, ours or anyone else's. We do not show your pages to other users or use them as examples anywhere, unless you explicitly send them to us for that purpose.
Who else sees your data
We use a small number of service providers, each bound by a contract and each only for its job:
| Provider | What it does | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| OpenAI (United States) | Draws the pages and reads your notes | The photo, your notes, the drawing instructions. OpenAI's API terms forbid using this data to train its models, and it is deleted from their systems after a short retention period. |
| Supabase (database in Seoul, South Korea) | Accounts, sign-in codes, the index of your pages | Email address, sign-in events, page and book records |
| Render (servers in Singapore) | Runs the website and stores your photos and drawings | Everything the service needs to work |
| Resend | Sends sign-in codes and notifications | Your email address and the message |
| Apple App Store and RevenueCat | Payments and receipts | An anonymous customer identifier, what you bought, when, and the price. Not your photos. |
We share data with nobody else, except if the law requires it or to protect someone from harm.
Where it is stored
Your photos and drawings are stored on our servers in Singapore. Account records are stored in South Korea. Drawing happens on OpenAI's servers in the United States. If you are in the European Union, the United Kingdom or Australia, this means your data leaves your country. We rely on our providers' standard contractual safeguards for those transfers.
How long we keep it
- Original photos: deleted 30 days after the page or book they belong to is finished.
- Drawings, books and your notes: until you delete the page, the book or your account.
- Account and purchase records: until you delete your account, then up to 7 years for the purchase records tax law requires us to keep, without your photos or drawings.
- Server logs: 30 days.
- Accounts that have not signed in for 24 months are deleted along with everything in them, after an email warning.
Your rights and your controls
- Export: the Account page has an "Export my data" button that downloads every photo, page and book as one zip file.
- Delete: "Delete my account" on the same page removes your account, photos, drawings and books straight away. See how to delete your account.
- Correct or ask: email us and we will fix a record, tell you what we hold, or answer any question, normally within a few days.
- If you live somewhere with a data protection authority, you can also complain to it. We would rather you wrote to us first.
Children
The service is for adults. You must be at least 18 to create an account. Children appear in the photos, which is the point of the product, and that is why we hold their images for as short a time as possible, never use them for anything but your drawings, and let you delete them at any moment. We do not knowingly let children create accounts; if you think a child has, tell us and we will remove the account.
Cookies
We set one cookie, which keeps you signed in. There are no advertising or tracking cookies. Clearing the cookie simply signs you out.
Security
Everything travels over encrypted connections. Photos and drawings are only reachable by the account that owns them. Secrets and keys are kept out of our code and rotated if we suspect a leak. No system is perfect; if a breach ever affects you we will tell you promptly and honestly.
Changes
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will say so on the website and, for anything significant, by email before it takes effect. The date at the top tells you when it last changed.
