You have the right to delete your account and all associated data at any time. To delete your account:

1. Log in to your account
2. Navigate to your profile page by clicking on your profile picture or name in the navigation bar
3. Scroll to the bottom of your profile page and click "Delete Account"
4. Follow the three-step process to confirm deletion, which includes:

The account deletion page is accessible at dashboard/avatar -> profile -> delete-account when logged in.

When you delete your account, we permanently remove all your personal information, profile data, saved captions, and usage history from our servers. Please note that this action cannot be undone.

Cookies

We use cookies to enhance your experience on our website. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, but this may affect certain features of our website.

Children's Privacy

Our services are intended for users of all ages, including children between 9-12 years old. We are committed to protecting the privacy of children and comply with applicable laws regarding children's privacy.

I do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. My app collects minimal personal information from all users, limited to what is necessary to operate my services (such as account login details).

Parents or guardians of children under 13 can review their child's information, request deletion, or refuse further collection by contacting me at chhabrapranav2001@gmail.com. I encourage parents to supervise their children's use of my app.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update my Privacy Policy from time to time. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
