This Privacy Policy explains how BAD AFFIRMATIONS, owned and operated by Lilac Creative Studio LLC ("BAD AFFIRMATIONS," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, discloses, stores, and protects information when you use the BAD AFFIRMATIONS website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the "Service").
This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms of Use.
By using BAD AFFIRMATIONS, you acknowledge the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, do not use the Service.
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
The information we collect depends on which BAD AFFIRMATIONS features you use and how the Service is technically configured.
Account Information
When you create an account, we may collect information such as your email address, username, handle, account identifier, authentication information, and other information you choose to include in your account or profile.
Passwords may be processed and stored through an authentication provider using security measures intended to protect authentication credentials rather than being stored by us in readable form.
Profile and Social Information
If you create a profile or use social features, we may collect your profile name, handle, profile image, biography, follower and following relationships, friend or follow requests, likes, reactions, and other social interactions.
Information you intentionally include in a public profile may be visible to other users.
Content You Submit
We collect content you voluntarily submit to BAD AFFIRMATIONS.
This may include prompts, questions, joke requests, punchlines, LIVE posts, captions, comments, feedback, ratings, saved items, likes, dislikes, and other interactions.
If you upload a photograph, screenshot, image, or other file for an AI-powered or other feature, the file and information necessary to process your request may be transmitted to our systems and applicable service providers.
Do not submit highly sensitive personal information that is unnecessary for your use of BAD AFFIRMATIONS.
Public Content
Content you intentionally publish to LIVE or another public area of BAD AFFIRMATIONS should be considered public.
Other users may be able to see your handle, profile information, posts, posting time, likes, reactions, and other information associated with your public activity.
Other users may also screenshot, share, quote, or otherwise reproduce public content outside BAD AFFIRMATIONS.
You should not post anything publicly that you want to remain private.
AI Inputs and Outputs
When you use an AI-powered feature, we may process the prompt, text, image, screenshot, feedback, preference information, contextual information, or other input you provide in order to generate a response.
Information necessary to generate the response may be transmitted to third-party artificial-intelligence, hosting, or infrastructure providers that provide technology used by BAD AFFIRMATIONS.
We may collect the resulting AI output and information about how you interact with it, such as whether you liked, disliked, saved, shared, regenerated, skipped, or otherwise interacted
We may use those interactions to provide the Service, personalize your experience, understand the styles of comedy you prefer, improve prompts and features, improve safety systems, troubleshoot problems, and improve BAD AFFIRMATIONS.
AI providers and other service providers may process information according to the contracts, configurations, and technical arrangements applicable to their services.
BAD AFFIRMATIONS will update this Privacy Policy if our use of AI providers materially changes our privacy practices.
Purchase and Subscription Information
If you purchase BAD AFFIRMATIONS Premium or another paid feature, we may receive transaction-related information such as the product purchased, subscription status, transaction identifier, purchase date, renewal status, expiration status, cancellation status, and the platform through which the purchase was made.
If payment is processed through the Apple App Store, Google Play, or another payment provider, that provider generally processes your payment-card information.
BAD AFFIRMATIONS may not receive your complete credit-card or debit-card number when payments are processed by third parties.
Technical and Usage Information
When you use BAD AFFIRMATIONS, we and our service providers may automatically collect technical and usage information.
This may include IP address, device type, operating system, browser type, app version, device or installation identifiers, approximate location derived from IP address, timestamps, referring pages, crash information, diagnostic information, network information, session information, and information about how you interact with the Service.
Usage information may include screens viewed, buttons selected, features used, content interactions, likes, saves, shares, follow actions, reports, errors, and similar activity.
We may use this information to operate, secure, troubleshoot, analyze, and improve BAD AFFIRMATIONS.
Device Permissions
Certain BAD AFFIRMATIONS features may request access to device capabilities such as your camera or photo library when you choose to use a feature that requires that access.
We request permissions through the controls provided by your device or operating system.
You may decline or later revoke device permissions through your device settings.
If you decline a permission, the feature that depends on it may not function.
Communications With Us
If you contact BAD AFFIRMATIONS for support, privacy requests, safety reporting, copyright matters, legal questions, feedback, or another reason, we may collect your name, email address, message, attachments, and other information you provide in the communication.
Information From Third Parties
We may receive information from third-party services that help us operate BAD AFFIRMATIONS.
These may include authentication providers, app marketplaces, subscription-management services, payment providers, hosting providers, database providers, analytics services, security providers, artificial-intelligence providers, crash-reporting services, and other infrastructure providers.
The information received depends on the provider, your interaction with it, and how BAD AFFIRMATIONS is technically configured.
2. HOW WE USE INFORMATION
We use personal information to provide and operate BAD AFFIRMATIONS.
This includes creating and authenticating accounts, maintaining login sessions, displaying profiles, generating content, operating LIVE, publishing User Content, processing reactions, maintaining saved content, enabling follow features, managing subscriptions, handling reports, and providing support.
We may use information to personalize the comedy, suggestions, recommendations, AI responses, or other content you see based on your interactions with the Service.
For example, likes, dislikes, saves, shares, skips, and other interactions may help BAD AFFIRMATIONS understand the styles or categories of humor you prefer.
We may use information to develop, test, analyze, troubleshoot, secure, maintain, and improve BAD AFFIRMATIONS.
We may use information to detect and prevent spam, fraud, abuse, unauthorized access, harassment, prohibited content, manipulation of engagement, violations of our Terms, security threats, and other harmful or unlawful activity.
We may use information to review user reports, enforce our Terms of Use, comply with legal obligations, protect users, protect Lilac Creative Studio LLC and BAD AFFIRMATIONS, and respond to valid legal requests.
We may use information to communicate with you regarding your account, security issues, purchases, subscriptions, reports, customer-support requests, changes to the Service, or changes to our legal policies.
If we send promotional communications, we will provide any unsubscribe or opt-out mechanism required by applicable law.
3. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND THIRD-PARTY PROCESSING
BAD AFFIRMATIONS may use third-party artificial-intelligence systems to provide certain features.
When you submit information to an AI-powered feature, information necessary to fulfill your request may be transmitted to the applicable AI or infrastructure provider.
Information transmitted may include prompts, text, photographs, screenshots, contextual information, and other content you intentionally submit.
We seek to use service providers appropriate for the operation of the Service, but no third-party service is controlled entirely by Lilac Creative Studio LLC.
You should not submit Social Security numbers, financial-account credentials, passwords, government-identification numbers, detailed medical records, intimate imagery, or other highly sensitive information to BAD AFFIRMATIONS unless a feature expressly requests that information and we explain how it will be handled.
BAD AFFIRMATIONS is a comedy product and does not require such information for ordinary use.
4. HOW WE DISCLOSE INFORMATION
We may disclose information to service providers and vendors that help us operate BAD AFFIRMATIONS.
These may include providers of cloud hosting, databases, authentication, security, artificial intelligence, analytics, crash reporting, customer support, email delivery, subscription management, payment processing, content moderation, and app distribution.
We may disclose only the information reasonably necessary for those providers to perform their functions or otherwise as permitted by applicable law.
Third-party services may also independently collect information when you interact with their products or platforms.
We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, valid legal process, court orders, subpoenas, or lawful governmental requests.
We may disclose information when we reasonably believe disclosure is necessary to investigate fraud, security incidents, abuse, threats, illegal conduct, or violations of our Terms; enforce our agreements; protect the rights, safety, or security of BAD AFFIRMATIONS, Lilac Creative Studio LLC, our users, or others; or establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.
If Lilac Creative Studio LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, bankruptcy, sale of assets, corporate reorganization, or similar transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction subject to applicable law.
We may disclose aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
Information you voluntarily publish through public areas of BAD AFFIRMATIONS is disclosed to other users by the nature of those features.
5. SALE AND SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
BAD AFFIRMATIONS does not intend to operate as a data broker or to sell your personal information to third parties for money.
Some privacy laws define "sale" or "sharing" more broadly than an exchange of information for money and may treat certain advertising, analytics, or cross-context behavioral advertising technologies as a sale or sharing.
If BAD AFFIRMATIONS implements technology that constitutes a sale or sharing under applicable law, we will provide legally required disclosures and opt-out mechanisms.
Where applicable law requires us to honor recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, we will do so as required.
We will update this Privacy Policy if our practices regarding sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising materially change.
6. COOKIES, SDKs AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
BAD AFFIRMATIONS and our service providers may use cookies, local storage, software development kits, device identifiers, pixels, or similar technologies to operate the Service.
These technologies may be used to maintain login sessions, remember preferences, provide security, process subscriptions, analyze usage, detect errors, prevent abuse, and improve performance.
The technologies used may differ between the website, mobile application, and other versions of BAD AFFIRMATIONS.
Where applicable law requires consent for a particular technology or use, we will request that consent as required.
7. DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide BAD AFFIRMATIONS and fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
Retention periods may depend on the type of information, the reason it was collected, whether you maintain an active account, our legitimate business and security needs, and applicable legal requirements.
We may retain account information while your account remains active.
User Content may remain available until you delete it, delete your account, or it is removed by BAD AFFIRMATIONS.
We may retain transaction records for the period reasonably necessary to satisfy accounting, tax, fraud-prevention, dispute-resolution, and legal obligations.
Security, moderation, abuse-prevention, and enforcement records may be retained for a reasonable period where necessary to protect users, prevent repeat abuse, defend legal claims, or maintain the security of BAD AFFIRMATIONS.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we will delete, de-identify, or otherwise dispose of it consistent with applicable law and our operational processes.
Deleted information may remain temporarily in backup systems until those backups are overwritten according to our normal backup cycle.
8. ACCOUNT AND DATA DELETION
You may request deletion of your BAD AFFIRMATIONS account.
BAD AFFIRMATIONS will provide an account-deletion option through the account or Settings area of the Service where required by the platform on which the Service is distributed.
Deleting BAD AFFIRMATIONS from your device does not delete your account.
Account deletion is intended to delete your account and personal information and User Content associated with it that we are not legally required or otherwise lawfully permitted to retain.
We may require reasonable authentication or verification before completing a deletion request to protect accounts from unauthorized deletion.
We may retain limited information after deletion where reasonably necessary for legal compliance, fraud prevention, security, financial recordkeeping, dispute resolution, enforcement of bans or Terms, or the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Information remaining in backup systems may persist temporarily until the applicable backup is overwritten.
If your BAD AFFIRMATIONS subscription is billed through Apple, Google, or another third-party marketplace, deleting your BAD AFFIRMATIONS account may not automatically cancel your marketplace subscription.
You should review and, if desired, cancel active subscriptions through the marketplace through which you purchased them.
Questions concerning deletion may be directed to contact@lilac.agency.
9. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on where you live and which privacy laws apply to Lilac Creative Studio LLC and BAD AFFIRMATIONS, you may have legal rights concerning your personal information.
These may include rights to request access to personal information maintained about you, obtain information about how it is collected and used, request correction of inaccurate personal information, request deletion, obtain certain information in portable form, object to or restrict certain processing, opt out of certain sales, sharing, or targeted advertising, limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, withdraw consent where processing depends on consent, or appeal certain privacy decisions.
The availability and scope of these rights vary by jurisdiction and may be subject to legal exceptions.
We will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.
To submit a privacy request, contact contact@lilac.agency or use a privacy control provided within BAD AFFIRMATIONS.
We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests.
Where permitted by law, an authorized agent may make a request on your behalf subject to appropriate verification.
10. CALIFORNIA PRIVACY NOTICE
This section applies to the extent California privacy laws apply to BAD AFFIRMATIONS or Lilac Creative Studio LLC.
California residents may have rights regarding personal information, including rights to know, access, delete, and correct personal information and, where applicable, to opt out of certain sales or sharing and limit certain uses of sensitive personal information.
The categories of personal information BAD AFFIRMATIONS may collect include identifiers such as email addresses, handles, account identifiers, IP addresses, and device identifiers; internet or electronic activity information such as app usage and interactions; commercial information such as subscription status and transaction information; approximate geolocation derived from IP address; audio, electronic, visual, or similar information contained in content you choose to upload; inferences regarding content preferences created from your interactions with BAD AFFIRMATIONS; and other information you voluntarily provide.
The sources of this information may include you directly, your device or browser, your interactions with BAD AFFIRMATIONS, app marketplaces, authentication providers, payment or subscription providers, analytics and infrastructure providers, and other service providers.
We use these categories of information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing and personalizing BAD AFFIRMATIONS, generating AI content, operating social features, maintaining accounts, processing subscriptions, improving the Service, securing the Service, detecting abuse, responding to users, and complying with legal obligations.
We may disclose these categories of information to the categories of service providers and other recipients described in this Privacy Policy.
To the extent applicable law requires a method for exercising a California privacy right, you may submit a request through contact@lilac.agency and any additional privacy-request method we make available.
If Lilac Creative Studio LLC is required by law to provide additional California notices, metrics, opt-out links, or request methods, those will be made available as required.
11. NOTICE AT COLLECTION
At or before the point where BAD AFFIRMATIONS collects personal information, we may provide a shorter notice describing the categories of personal information being collected and the purposes for which they will be used, together with a link to this Privacy Policy.
The categories may include account and contact identifiers, User Content and uploads, activity and interaction information, subscription and transaction information, technical and device information, approximate location derived from IP address, and preferences or inferences based on your use of BAD AFFIRMATIONS.
We collect these categories for purposes including account creation, authentication, providing AI and comedy features, operating LIVE and social functionality, personalization, saved content, subscription management, security, moderation, fraud and abuse prevention, analytics, troubleshooting, customer support, and legal compliance.
12. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
BAD AFFIRMATIONS is intended only for users age 18 and older.
The Service is not directed to children.
We do not knowingly permit individuals under 18 to create BAD AFFIRMATIONS accounts.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If we learn that personal information from a child has been collected in violation of applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to delete the information and associated account.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to BAD AFFIRMATIONS, contact contact@lilac.agency.
13. SECURITY
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
However, no method of electronic transmission, software operation, or electronic storage is completely secure.
We cannot guarantee absolute security.
You are responsible for protecting your account credentials and should notify us promptly if you believe your account has been compromised.
14. CONTENT MODERATION AND SAFETY RECORDS
Because BAD AFFIRMATIONS includes LIVE and other community features, we may process User Content, reports, account identifiers, moderation actions, blocking information, and related activity for trust, safety, moderation, fraud prevention, and enforcement purposes.
We may use automated tools and human review to identify or respond to objectionable, abusive, illegal, unsafe, or prohibited content.
When a user reports another user or piece of content, we may collect information about the report and associated accounts and content.
We may preserve relevant records for a reasonable period when necessary to investigate reports, protect users, enforce our Terms, prevent repeat abuse, respond to legal process, or establish or defend legal claims.
15. THIRD-PARTY LINKS AND SERVICES
BAD AFFIRMATIONS may contain links to third-party websites or allow you to interact with third-party services.
This Privacy Policy applies to BAD AFFIRMATIONS and does not govern independent third parties.
If you leave BAD AFFIRMATIONS or interact directly with another provider, that provider's privacy policy and practices may apply.
16. INTERNATIONAL USERS
BAD AFFIRMATIONS is operated by Lilac Creative Studio LLC in the United States.
If you access the Service from another country, your information may be processed or stored in the United States or another country where our service providers operate.
Privacy and data-protection laws in those locations may differ from the laws where you live.
Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers of personal information, we will implement appropriate safeguards.
17. EEA, UNITED KINGDOM AND SIMILAR DATA-PROTECTION RIGHTS
If privacy laws such as the European Union General Data Protection Regulation or United Kingdom GDPR apply to our processing of your personal information, we will process personal information under an appropriate lawful basis.
Depending on the circumstances, processing may be necessary to perform a contract with you, pursue legitimate interests such as operating and securing BAD AFFIRMATIONS, comply with legal obligations, or occur with your consent.
Where applicable, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict, or object to processing, withdraw consent, receive certain information in portable form, and lodge a complaint with an applicable data-protection authority.
You may contact contact@lilac.agency regarding applicable privacy rights.
If Lilac Creative Studio LLC becomes subject to additional representative, registration, international-transfer, or other requirements in a particular jurisdiction, we will take steps reasonably necessary to comply.
18. DO NOT TRACK AND OPT-OUT PREFERENCE SIGNALS
Some browsers provide traditional "Do Not Track" signals.
There is not one universally adopted standard governing all Do Not Track signals, and BAD AFFIRMATIONS may not respond to traditional Do Not Track settings.
Where applicable law requires BAD AFFIRMATIONS to recognize a legally valid opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, we will process that signal as required.
19. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this Privacy Policy as BAD AFFIRMATIONS changes or as legal, regulatory, security, technical, or operational requirements evolve.
The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates when this Privacy Policy was most recently revised.
If we make material changes to our privacy practices, we will provide additional notice where required by law.
If applicable law requires affirmative consent before we materially change how previously collected information is used, we will request that consent.
