What We Collect

When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture. This information is used solely to identify your account and display your profile within the app.

Faces & Biometric Data

MarkItUp is not designed to process photographs containing identifiable faces or people. We do not intentionally collect, store, or process biometric data. Uploaded images are sent to Google Gemini for AI processing and are not retained. If you upload an image containing a face, it will be processed by the AI pipeline but may produce poor or unusable results. Please do not upload images of individuals without their consent.

How We Use Your Data

Images you upload are sent to our server only during AI generation. They are not stored after the request completes.
Generated visuals are returned to your browser and not retained on our servers.
Credit balance is stored in Firebase Firestore, linked to your user ID.
Payment data is processed entirely by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.
