Privacy Policy
Art Display is an Android app that turns your photos into AI-styled artwork and displays it on your TV with Chromecast. This policy explains what data the app handles, why, and the choices you have. The app is operated by the Art Display team ("we"). Contact: artdisplay@strolladou.com.
Data we collect and why
- Google account basics. When you sign in with Google we receive your name, email address, and Google account identifier. We use these to authenticate you, attribute shared artwork to your display name, and (during the current invite-only beta) check your email against the tester allowlist.
- Photos you choose. Photos you select are uploaded over an encrypted connection to our private cloud storage so the AI can process them, and AI-generated versions are stored for your account. We never access your photo library beyond the photos you explicitly pick.
- Coarse photo location (optional). If you ask for a museum plaque and allow it, the app converts the photo's embedded GPS data on your phone into a broad city or region name (for example "Provence, France"). Only that broad label is sent; exact coordinates and addresses never leave your device and are never stored.
- Purchases. Credit purchases are processed by Google Play. We store the product, order ID, a one-way hash of the purchase token, and the resulting credit balance and ledger for your account. We never see your payment details.
- Usage analytics. We record basic product events (app opened, artwork generated, purchase completed or failed) tied to your account identifier, to fix problems and improve the app. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking SDKs.
AI processing
To create artwork, your selected photo is sent from our servers to the AI providers we use: Black Forest Labs (FLUX outpainting) and Google (Gemini). Images are sent only to perform the transformation you requested. The untouched central area of your original photo is composited back over the AI result on our servers, so the AI never rewrites the real content of your photo.
Sharing and public galleries
Nothing you create is shared unless you choose to. If you invite people to a gallery or make it public, the artwork in it and your Google display name (as attribution) become visible to those people (or, for public galleries, to all Art Display users). Invite links can be turned off, and you can un-publish artwork or switch a gallery back to private at any time.
Data retention and deletion
- You can delete your account and cloud data at any time in the app: Account → Delete account & data, or by following the steps on our account deletion page.
- Deletion removes your account record, credits, ledger, analytics events, shared and published artwork, uploaded photos, and generated images from our systems.
- We retain purchase verification records (product, order ID, hashed token) for fraud prevention and financial reconciliation, as permitted by law.
- Artwork saved on your phone stays on your phone; uninstalling the app removes it.
Security
All network traffic is encrypted (HTTPS). Cloud data is stored in Google Firebase with access rules restricting your files to your account, and our backend verifies app integrity (Play Integrity / App Check) before serving requests.
Children
Art Display is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
We will update this page when the policy changes and note the date above. Significant changes will be announced in the app.
