Privacy Policy

Welcome to TimelapsePhoto.art (referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Site”). We prioritize your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains our commitment to a "Local-First" data model, how our AI tools function, and how we handle the minimal data necessary to operate our free services.

By using the Site, you consent to the practices described in this policy. We believe creativity should not require the surrender of your personal data.

Unlike traditional cloud-based editing tools, TimelapsePhoto.art operates primarily on your device. Here is how our main tools manage your data:

• AI Drawing & Animation: Your photos are processed entirely within your web browser using client-side technology (OpenCV.js). Your images are never uploaded to our servers.
• Photo Slideshow Creator: All image sequencing, transitions, and video rendering happen locally on your computer or mobile device.
• AI Story Drawing: While text prompts are sent to generate scripts and images, the final performance—the drawing animation and video recording—is executed locally in your browser's sandbox.

This means your private photos and creative iterations remain on your hardware, under your control.

a. Automatically Collected Data

To improve site performance and user experience, we use standard analytics (Google Analytics) to collect non-identifying data, such as:

• Approximate geographical location (City/Country)
• Browser type and operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on tools

b. Voluntarily Provided Information

We do not require user accounts. We only collect personally identifiable information (like your email address) if you choose to contact us directly for support. This information is used only to resolve your specific inquiry.

Our AI features (Story Generation and Image Generation) utilize third-party APIs (OpenAI and Stable Diffusion providers). When you enter a prompt:

• Only the text of the prompt is sent to these services.
• No personal identity, IP address, or local files are shared with these AI providers.
• The results (images/scripts) are returned to your browser for local use.

a. Adsterra Network

To keep our tools 100% free for everyone, we display advertisements provided by the Adsterra network. These ads may use cookies or device identifiers to provide a better advertising experience. No personal artwork or uploaded images are ever shared with Adsterra.

b. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to monitor site health. This data is anonymized and aggregated. You can opt-out of this tracking by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Because we do not store your creative files on our servers, there is no risk of your private photos being compromised in a server-side data breach. We use SSL encryption to secure the transmission of text prompts for our AI tools.

Our Site contains links to external sites (such as our sister site, Velory.pro). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external platforms and encourage you to review their policies separately.

We may update this Privacy Policy as we introduce new tools. Significant changes will be noted by a new “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site signifies your acceptance of these terms.
