Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

Pet Doodle, operated by Aster Studio — a sole proprietorship based in Ontario, Canada — is built to collect as little as possible. There are no accounts and no logins. This policy explains what happens to your photo and data.

What we collect

• The photo you upload. Used only to check it’s an animal and to draw your doodle.
• The doodles we generate from your photo, held briefly so you can download them after paying.
• A style preference stored in your own browser (which backdrop you picked). It never leaves your device.
• Basic technical data such as your IP address, used transiently to apply rate limits and keep the service secure. We don’t use tracking cookies or advertising analytics.

Payment details (card numbers, billing info) go directly to Stripe. We never see or store them.

How your photo is used

To create your doodle, your uploaded photo is sent to third-party AI providers — Google (Gemini) and OpenAI — purely to generate the drawing. It is not used to build a profile of you, and we don’t sell it. These providers process the image under their own privacy and data-use policies.

How long we keep things

• Your uploaded photo is processed in memory and is not stored after your doodle is made.
• Finished portraits are kept for about 6 hours; once a portrait is purchased, it and its download link are retained for 7 days, then automatically deleted.

Who we share data with

We share only what’s necessary with the services that make Pet Doodle run:

• Google (Gemini) and OpenAI — to generate the doodle and verify the photo is a pet.
• Stripe — to process payments securely.

We don’t sell your personal information.

Payments

Payments are handled by Stripe. Your card information is entered on Stripe’s secure checkout and is never transmitted to or stored by us. See Stripe’s own privacy policy for how they handle payment data.

Children

Pet Doodle isn’t directed to children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child provided us data, contact us and we’ll remove it.

Your choices

Because we don’t keep your photo and portraits auto-delete quickly, there’s little standing data to manage. You can clear the style preference by clearing your browser storage. For any privacy question or request, email asterstudio9@gmail.com.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy occasionally. The “last updated” date above reflects the current version.
