Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 5/9/2025

Welcome to TextBehind! We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our application. Our core principle is privacy by design: your images and the content you create are processed entirely on your local device and are never uploaded to or stored on our servers.

Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, store, or have access to:

• The images you upload or process using TextBehind.
• The resulting images or designs you create with TextBehind.
• Any personal data embedded within your images.

All image processing, including AI-powered background removal and text addition, happens directly on your computer or device. Your creations remain yours and stay local unless you choose to share them elsewhere.

Information We Collect (Account & Payments)

To provide certain features like downloading high-resolution images or accessing premium features, we require user authentication and may process payments.

• Account Information: When you sign up or log in (e.g., using Google Sign-In), we use BetterAuth to manage your session. We receive basic profile information like your name and email address from the authentication provider to identify your account. This information is handled securely according to industry best practices. We do not store passwords directly if you use third-party providers like Google.
• Payment Information: If you purchase premium features, payments are processed through our secure payment partner, Polar. We do not directly collect or store your full credit card details. Polar handles this information according to their strict security standards and privacy policy. We only store information necessary to confirm your purchase status and grant access to benefits (e.g., subscription status, purchase ID).
• Usage Data (Optional & Anonymized): We may collect anonymized, aggregated usage data (e.g., feature usage frequency) solely to improve the application's performance and user experience. This data does not contain personal information or any part of your images/creations.

Cookies

We use essential cookies solely for authentication and session management purposes (e.g., to keep you logged in). We do not use tracking cookies for advertising.

Third-Party Services

We utilize the following third-party services:

• Authentication: BetterAuth (and potentially providers like Google). Their handling of your data is governed by their respective privacy policies.
• Payments: Polar. Payment processing is subject to Polar's privacy policy.

We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these providers.

Data Security

As your core image data remains local, the primary security focus is on your device itself. For the account and payment information we do handle, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect it against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

Your Rights

You have rights regarding the personal information we hold (your account details). You can typically manage your profile information through your account settings or the authentication provider you used. For requests regarding data deletion or access related to your account, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
