Privacy policy
Last updated: October 19, 2026. This policy covers beardideas.com.
Photo processing
Your browser resizes and re-encodes the photo you select, which removes original embedded metadata. The photo is uploaded only when you request an edit. The application forwards it and your selected settings to OpenAI over HTTPS. We do not save the source photo in the application database or expose it in public assets. OpenAI processes API inputs and outputs under its own data and retention policies; this is not a zero-retention guarantee. See OpenAI’s API data controls.
Accounts and saved results
We store a username, salted password hash, hashed recovery code, and hashed session tokens. Email is not requested. Essential HttpOnly session cookies last up to 30 days. Generated images and selected settings are private and retained for up to 30 days; unresolved job metadata can be kept for investigation. Delete saved image bytes through My images. Deletion does not remove aggregate counts, budget records, or prior provider processing.
Service and security data
The site uses Cloudflare for hosting and private SQLite storage. It processes network information to deliver and protect requests. The application uses a daily hash of your IP address for limits and stores aggregate request and generation counts. Local testing uses a local Cloudflare emulator and local database. Optional Google Analytics 4 measures visits and basic studio actions only after you accept analytics cookies. It receives device and network information, sanitized page addresses, and event names. We do not send photos, prompts, filenames, usernames, recovery codes, or image identifiers to Analytics. Advertising signals and automatic form tracking are disabled. Your choice is saved in your browser for up to 180 days. Use Analytics settings in the footer to change it; rejecting removes our Analytics cookies from this browser. See Google’s privacy policy.
Manage your information
Download results you want to keep before they expire. Sign out to revoke your session, and protect your password and recovery code. Only upload images you have permission to edit. The service is intended for adults.
